Grant became involved in leading a number of improvement projects across the group which contributed to real savings of millions of dollars. Grant’s continual improvement processes are very powerful and will significantly impact the value of any organisation that has the passion and determination to make a transformational shift.
Peter Reidy CEO Downer EDI Works NZ
BEA also worked to establish a more comprehensive continuous improvement methodology that could be use to improve asset reliability and business processes around asset management practices...
A cross function team of engineers, managers, and contractors were facilitated by BEA to target a negative performance trend within grid asset performance. Using the TurboSigma approach ... the team was able to identify a problem area of Human Element Incidents (HEIs) associated with maintenance switching and other activities as a key contributor to performance trends. BEA quickly (in days, not weeks) developed a comprehensive "wiring diagram" showing all activities, accountabilities, inputs and outcomes .... This was used to immediately get on top of the negative trend. Subsequent improvements initiatives based on these techniques have resulted in a significant decline in HEI caused events.

"The process mapping and continuous improvement tools are world class"
John Ashby General Manager Gilmours (FMCG)
The five stage TurboSigma® methodology contains a suite of tools that when used in order will naturally and organically lead a team to root cause analyse and solve almost any process problem. (See the skinny Book of Continuous Improvement at the resource centre.)
Once you have selected the right opportunity for improvement, it is a case of assembling the right team (acknowledging that some improvement opportunities are appropriately allocated to a ‘team of one’) and giving the team the right tools to use in the right order.
World class organizations have a process by which all other processes can be improved. It is an ethic, a discipline and a way of life for these organizations to continuously seek improvements in all elements of their business. TurboSigma® is becoming the inexpensive licensed tool of choice for these organizations. You will never approach problems the same way again!
"TurboSigma® is a much smaller tool to do a much larger job" (see report)
