DFSS

Enterprise Implementation

Practice / Industry: Electronics/High Tech

Challenge

The Company suffered major setbacks due to lower cost, higher quality products offered by numerous competitors. In-spite of rapidly declining profits, corporate management did not resort to panic cost cutting. Rather, the top management team devoted several months to study competitive offerings and benchmark engineering & manufacturing methods in non-competitive companies. Armed with a new strategy derived from the studies, the CEO set the goal of reversing this trend and becoming the market leader.

ASI Solution

To achieve this objective, the company selected ASI-CG as a partner to help reinvent the engineering and manufacturing capability of the corporation. ASI-CG was intensely involved during the initial 5 year turnaround period. ASI-CG provided training, consulting and exceution in all of the elements of what is now recognized as engineering based Design for Six Sigma (DFSS). The corporation developed a new Product Development Process based on DFSS methodology.

Achieved Benefit

The outcome was an outstanding success story in which ASI-CG is proud to have participated. Within 4 years, the corporation was delivering the highest quality, most reliable, and lowest cost office products. Happy customers helped the company regain market share, years of rapid growth, and unprecedented profitability.
