Embraced by Johnson & Johnson as a pillar of quality improvement, Six Sigma is a set of techniques for rooting out error in your process. If your operation requires numerous inspection steps; if it is plagued by high defect rates, inconsistent results, or extensive rework; Six Sigma is your tool for turning that around.
Simple changes, impressive results
When our clients use Six Sigma to improve quality, the changes they make are often simple: decrease centrifuge time, apply standard operating procedures, fill in missing diagnosis codes. And yet their results are quite impressive:
- An Ohio Hospital increased its average first-time yield from 79% to 98%, realizing a net savings of more than $172,000 a year.
- Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, reduced its test turnaround time by 39% and saved $79,000 a year. Read the case study.
- DSI Laboratories in Florida improved its turnaround time by 54%, cut its operating costs by $250,000/yr. and saved another $78,000 a year in overtime costs. Read the case study.
