Our four lenses

Our approach to Performance Chain excellence is to see all flows through four lenses and reveal productivity improvement opportunities aligned to customer value requirements. These lenses are:

Speed
Increase the velocity of all core processes. Examples: cycle time, time to market, days cash outstanding.
Predictability
Quality and repeatability of external and internal processes. Examples: records accuracy, process yield, customer satisfaction, on-time delivery.
Flexibility
Reduce the time to convert processes to meet dynamic customer demands. Examples: changeover, segment customization.
Leverage
Do more with existing resources and capital assets. Examples: resource utilization; equipment, systems and process effectiveness, inventory turns.
