Continuous Improvement methodologies, such as Lean and Six Sigma, are excellent ways to engage an organization with mind-set and cultural changes that will lead to sustainable improvements and gains. Argent Global Services are continuous improvement experts, and we incorporate these tools into all our engagements.  A common goal, regardless of industry, is to be more efficient and eliminate waste whenever and wherever it occurs.

Lean is a proven way to eliminate waste that can be applied in any environment to deliver significant results in a quick timeframe.  Lean is defined as systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement by flowing the product or service at the pull of the customer. The key is to focus on the activities that add value to what the customer is expecting.

Six Sigma is a set of management tools and techniques designed to improve the capability of the business process by reducing the likelihood of error.  The Six Sigma approach is systematic and utilizes these five key principles for sustainable performance improvement: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. 

Argent’s staff of professional engineers and consultants are certified in Lean and Six Sigma. They have the expertise to determine the high impact areas within an operation and can assist clients in utilizing these tools to reduce costs, remove waste, improve quality, and raise service levels.
