The commontheme found among these superioroperations was a fully implemented andeffective continuous improvementmethodology.
Of the plants that have made little or noprogress toward world-class performance,53% reported having some level ofcontinuous improvement effort already inplace. The study very pointedly suggeststhat these improvement efforts might besuffering from half-hearted and unfocusedefforts or worse yet, disinterested orincompetent leadership.

How Critical is the RightOperations Talent?A recent major consulting firm survey ofsenior executives found that higherperformers in their organization outperformed average performers by a widemargin. This should come as no surprise toany of us. However, what came as asurprise was how much this differencecould impact the overall performance of anorganization. The study went on to highlightsome significant findings:
• In operations roles, higher performerswere able to generate 40% more inproductivity than their average performingcounterparts.
• In managerial roles, higher performerswere able to generate 50% more in profitsthan their average performingcounterparts.
Similar studies have found even moreprofound differences between top andbottom performers in key operational roles.For instance, in manufacturing companies,one study concluded that the best plantmanagers grew profits 130% while thelowest-performing managers achieved noimprovement.
Hiring the right operations talent can have aprofound impact on a company’sperformance. Our focus is to help ourclients find the right operations talent tomaximize their profit and productivityobjectives.

Lean Sigma SearchTM Process
Search excellence starts with the soundfoundation of a well-defined and consistentsearch methodology. Our Lean SigmaSearch™ value stream processmethodology incorporates a unique LeanSix Sigma approach to filling our clients’staffing needs.
An important foundation of Lean Six Sigmamethodology is the concept of waste anddefect elimination. Lean Six Sigma definesa defect in terms of meeting thespecifications, expectations andrequirements of the customer. What is adefect with regard to the executive searchprocess? Presenting unqualifiedcandidates, candidates with missing skillsets and candidates who don’t fit thecorporate culture and chemistry of the clientare just some examples of waste anddefects that can result from a poor searchprocess.
At The Avery Point Group we practice whatwe preach when it comes to Lean SixSigma. Our experience has shown us theimportance of incorporating the voice of theclient (VOC) at each critical phase in thevalue stream placement process. We takegreat care in defining and characterizing theclient’s critical to quality (CTQs)requirements, up front, to ensure successfulscreening and placement of candidates,thus avoiding waste and defects that cancost a client time, money, and worse yet, apoor placement.
