Today’s business, political, economic, social and technological environments require organizations to continuously improve – sometimes dramatically and quickly.  And anyone seeking to improve their organization faces a bewildering set of improvement technologies. 

 

Each improvement technology has a particular focus, each has its own strengths, and admittedly each has areas on which it its silent.  Therefore, whether it’s Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints or another methodology you will have questions such as “Which is best?”, “Which is fastest?”, “Can we implement this?”, and “Which is right for our organization?”

 

Must your choice need be an “either – or” type decision?  At Afinitus we don’t think so.  Why not use the best tools for your situation, regardless of their labeling?  Why not find the mix that best leverages your ability to improve?

 

Afinitus has developed an approach known as TLS,  which harmonizes each of the above improvement technologies into one synergistic, cohesive, comprehensive whole, without conflicts and compromises.  And we can harmonize other improvement technologies into TLS too.

 

Our approach identifies the leverage points where constraints management, lean tools or reduction in variability will provide the most “bang for the buck.”  We can work as standalone, in concert with Lean, Six Sigma or TOC offices, or under the auspices of Lean / Six Sigma / TOC leadership.

 

Imagine a stronger, synchronistic culture, achieving higher quality, fewer delays, improved morale, increased speed, greater agility, increased flexibility, and reduced inventory levels,  resulting in increased Throughput, shortened lead and cycle times, reduced operating costs and higher customer satisfaction.

 

All these are within your grasp with TLS.
