Streamlining Operations
Operational Efficiency is the Hallmark of a Healthy Organization
Being strategic about Operational Excellence enables organizations to delight customers by ensuring that requirements are fully understood and met, engage employees by making the job less frustrating and more collaborative, satisfy stakeholders/shareholders by decreasing costs and enabling the organization to accomplish more with the same amount of resources (or less!)
OUR APPROACH TO STREAMLINING OPERATIONS
Lean Six Sigma
Continuous Process Improvement. Operational Excellence.
Different organizations use different terminology. Whatever you call it, the core objectives remain the same:
FROM PROJECTS TO CULTURE
The Four Pillar Framework
There’s no question that the tools associated with Lean Six Sigma, CPI and Operational Excellence can help any team or organization streamline operations by reducing waste and eliminating defects. Targeted process improvement efforts are undeniably valuable to customers, employees and stakeholders alike.
But the real impact comes when an organization moves beyond “tools and projects” and incorporates the principles associated with Lean Six Sigma into the culture.
At Integris, we use the Four Pillars framework to help guide organizations on how to embrace these principles to create the healthiest culture possible. Read more about it here.

The Four Pillars model helps to establish an organizational culture in which the values and behaviors are aligned with the guiding principles of Lean Management, in which employees are engaged, customers are delighted and stakeholders are satisfied.
