Defense - Producers of components and equipment for the defense industry, including military aircraft, radar equipment and weapons.

Lean Six Sigma in Supply Chain & Logistics

Supply chains made inefficiently with high error rates need Lean Six Sigma. Many points in the supply chain can benefit from the Lean technique of Poka-Yoke. This is a mistake-proofing procedure that prevents human error by forcing the user to complete the task correctly. For example, a software enabled drill counts the number of holes drilled into a work piece; a buzzer sounds if the work piece is removed before the correct number of holes has been drilled.

Anexas has helped one of the largest logistics and shipping companies in the world save wealth worth millions of dollars, by implementing end to end Lean six Sigma Projects to increase the utilization of pickup trucks from 80% to 90% in a span of 6 months.

Lean Six Sigma in Government Agencies

Government agencies are often understaffed and overloaded with work.  There is often an abundance of paperwork overflowing on the desk of employees, and not enough time to get through all of it.  

All Government bodies whether they be Federal, State, or Local agencies are able to implement the Six Sigma management procedure in order to improve customer service and increase the government’s effect on the general public. Traditionally, this process was used in the manufacturing sector but works perfectly within the government and similar organizations. Using 6 Sigma, the government is able to experience the same benefits as the manufacturing industry has. The main goal is to reduce the amount of defects and variables within processes. In this way, the government can use Six Sigma to successfully improve several aspects as it does in other industries.

Government leaders are looking to industry-proven best practices to improve public systems like education, transportation, social services, waste management, environmental protection, and much more. As a result, governments are beginning to see that implementing lean Six Sigma can produce the results that taxpayers are demanding.

Lean Six Sigma in Pharmaceutical Industry

In Blood Systems Laboratories's(BSL) , as an instance ,Failures of tests, missed inspections, incomplete documentation can all result in failure of an entire batch of product. One of the more common projects at BSL, for example, is the prevention of non-usables. BSL has run multiple projects  involving non-usables in the last two years involving parameters such the presence of preventable errors, empty testing wells, and contaminated sterilization fluids.

By addressing these problems Anexas was able to help reduce non-useable runs by approximately 38% and saved the lab $40,000 per year. The company estimates it has saved over ten times this amount from all Six Sigma projects combined with the skilled guidance of Anexas.

Lean Six Sigma in IT, ITES, BPO and KPO

Six Sigma has proved quite beneficial for the ITES sector because rather than making direct alterations in the product or service, it concentrates more on making improvements in existing business processes, which automatically improves the quality of final outcome. This is like tackling the root cause that might be creating problems related to quality.

Anexas’s approach of giving supreme importance to VOC has helped internal operations of BPO’s and customer contact centers, something that automatically leads to a reduction in the overall cost of operations. This has not affected customer satisfaction, and helped BPO’s to maintain competencies, which has become quite essential considering the increasing competition in the BPO industry.
