Operations Services

Process Improvement for Service Businesses

The methods that fix a production line work anywhere work moves through a process. IOG takes on process improvement and operational troubleshooting for service businesses outside manufacturing: distribution and logistics, field and repair service, multi-site service operations, and the back-office processes behind them.

Beyond manufacturing

What it includes

Same methods, different floor

  • Operational troubleshooting. The recurring problem nobody has been able to fix: missed commitments, rework, backlogs, errors that keep coming back. Kepner-Tregoe and Six Sigma root-cause methods find the cause, not just the symptom.
  • Process improvement. Mapping how work actually flows, removing the steps and handoffs that add delay or errors, and putting simple daily measures in place so the fix holds.
  • Same starting point. A fixed-scope Operational Diagnostic on one problem, ending in a prioritized action plan your team can run with or without further engagement.
  • Performance monitoring. Operational Intelligence works outside manufacturing too, with all five data streams configured around your own processes.
