Six Sigma Consulting for SMEs
Six Sigma sounds like large corporations, belt systems and lengthy certifications. But its actual core — tracking down errors and variation with data instead of gut feeling — can be made useful for SMEs without all that overhead.
The Thinking Behind Six Sigma — Without the Corporate Overhead
Instead of setting up large certification programmes, Innovectus adopts the underlying thinking: Where exactly do errors and variation occur in the process? How often does it happen? And what's the actual cause — not what someone assumes the cause to be?
These questions are worked out together with the employees who live the process every day — not at the desk of an outside consultancy. Only then is it decided whether a process change, training or automation is the right lever.
Typical Use Cases
- Recurring errors in order processing
- Fluctuating processing times
- Invoice and delivery reconciliation
- Quality variation in recurring tasks
Frequently Asked Questions About Six Sigma
Do I need a Six Sigma certification to benefit from this?
No. The thinking behind Six Sigma — tackling problems with data instead of gut feeling — can be put to use even without belt certifications and lengthy training.
Isn't Six Sigma just for large industrial companies?
Originally, yes, but the core principles — systematically finding and eliminating sources of error — also work in smaller processes such as invoice checking or order processing.
How does Innovectus combine Six Sigma with automation?
First, sources of error and variation in the process are identified, then it's assessed which part can sensibly be automated — instead of simply making a flawed process faster.
