NOVACES Sponsors Webinar on the Integration of Lean Six Sigma with Theory of Constraints in MRO.

The International Society of Six Sigma Professionals (ISSSP) will host the program as part of its Focused Sessions for the advancement of education, research and implementation of Six Sigma.

New Orleans December 13, 2007 — NOVACES, a premier provider of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) consulting and training services, announced today that it will present the synergistic advantages of using Theory of Constraints (TOC) with Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to better focus efforts to achieve continuous system improvement. The event features contributions from the company’s team members Dynamics Research Corporation (DRC) and Avraham Goldratt Institute (AGI) who have been pioneering this breakthrough methodology together.

This integrated approach recognizes that interdependencies among processes must be considered to improve an enterprise’s output. While both Lean Six Sigma and TOC have been successfully implemented for some time, their effectiveness in tandem is now being proven. The value that TOC brings to improving an organization’s processes is its disciplined manner of identifying what to change, what to change it to and how to achieve the change.

TOC identifies the constraints and core conflicts that exist in an enterprise and points to the solution that will best align it with the strategic objectives of the overall system

“TOC identifies the constraints and core conflicts that exist in an enterprise and points to the solution that will best align it with the strategic objectives of the overall system,” said CEO Bahadir Inozu, Ph.D. of NOVACES. The result of the approach helps to build the tactical plan that will transition an organization.

This combination of methodologies is shown to deliver powerful results in the MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations/Overhaul) environment by focusing on the system, identifying constraints and removing waste and defects from the processes. The webinar will take place December 18, 2007 at 10:00 AM EST. Attendees are invited to register at www.isssp.com.

New Orleans, LA, April 23, 2007 – Izmir, Turkey-based Kent Hospital, which serves the general public of the Aegean Region, has chosen NOVACES, L.L.C. a premier provider of today’s most powerful implementations of Lean Six Sigma (LSS), to support their initiative for continuous improvement of patient care delivery, quality and financial performance.

To generate quick results in this initial effort, Kent Hospital is using a deployment strategy that focuses on identifying causes of problems identified in their selection and purchasing of medical supplies and medications, discharge practices and billing procedures for both in- and out-patients. The work is being spearheaded by the NOVACES Healthcare Group and will yield first results within six weeks.

Healthcare administrators are increasingly deploying LSS in recognition of the dramatic improvements it drives in core hospital practices. In a growing competitive environment, LSS helps to improve productivity and operating margins while creating an environment where work steps and errors are minimized and patients appreciate the quality of services.

One of the many highlights of this deployment is that Kent Hospital’s management is providing key support for executive training for lead roles, and putting the controls in place to sustain improvements and ensure continued success.
