"Lean 6ix" Improvement Process
Graham Hill Consulting's proprietary improvement process takes the best tools and concepts from the lean manufacturing disciplines and integrates them using the six sigma DMAIC framework. No two problems are the same. "Lean 6ix" was developed to identify YOUR specific problems and enable you to choose the RIGHT improvement tools to achieve your goals. Our 6ix step process is:
Define the process and scope of the improvement project
Measure the current state performance of the process
Analyse and determine causes of poor performance
Create improvement plans and select improvement tools
Implement plans to correct and prevent the causes
Measure and quantify improvements of the improved process
ENVIRONMENTAL Management
More and more companies are informally reviewing their internal and external context and discovering environmental risk is gaining priority with their stakeholders. In addition to corporate responsibility, ISO14001:2015 offers improved environmental performance, which usually leads to annualized cost savings and a competitive advantage. Benefits include:
Improved environmental performance and effectiveness
Quantify and control environmental impacts
Meet legal obligations
Prepare for environmental emergencies
Motivate and engage employees
Demonstrate corporate responsibility
Meet customer requirements
Risk Management
Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risk (defined in ISO31000.) The result is the implementation of actions to control the probability and/or impact of undesirable events AND to maximize the benefits of opportunities. Our risk management methodology is extremely flexible. It can be implemented as part of a complete business continuity strategy or on a process by process basis. Our 5 step risk process is:
Identify threats and opportunities
Assess the impact of specific threats / opportunities
Quantify and prioritize the risk (i.e. the expected likelihood and severity of consequences)
Identify actions to reduce negative impact or enhance positive effects
Implement actions in priority sequence
Health & Safety Management
Ensuring your workers are safe and return to their families every day is not only a corporate liability, it is a personal liability for supervisors and top management. Protecting yourself and your workers with a solid health and safety management system, like ISO45001:2018 is a must for offices and industrial organizations alike. Benefits include:
Improved health and safety performance and effectiveness
Quantify and control health and safety risks
Meet legal obligations
Prepare for health and safety emergencies
Motivate and engage employees
Demonstrate corporate responsibility
Meet customer requirements
Information Security Management
Today, companies have an ever-increasing dependence on data. The increased frequency of devastating data security breaches, or risk of computer-crime, has driven many companies to make information security a priority along with their regulatory and customer stakeholders. For such companies, ISO27001:2022 offers improved information security performance, for both technological and non-technical assets. Benefits include:
Improved information security performance and effectiveness
Risk assessment and residual risk reduction
Understand and meet legal compliance obligations
Prepare for emergencies and ensure continuity
Test and ensure data integrity
