How would you like to implement Lean Six Sigma business processes within a fraction of the time without implementation hassles or resistance to outcome of change needed? When incorporating SOUL into the Lean Six Sigma process, your employees will be motivated to support the initiative and some even thanking you for the new opportunities.

The SOUL Difference: Many popular best practice business applications neglect three important factors in their analysis: (1) people being setup to succeed, (2) People being able to handle the unexpected, and (3) People being able to support each other when faced with severe challenges. Best practice business applications have either limited or no metric focus on these people variables. And these variables make or break an organization’s ability to be successful. SOUL’s people focused metrics used in its precision analysis and problem solving changes all of that!

Become lean without starving

To date, our SOUL based Lean Six Sigma approach is unequaled in its ease of implementation, detailed analysis, and fast results. This is accomplished using our "intelligent" plug-in modules architecture based on SOUL within u2 Leadership that upgrades your existing desktop software using a plug and play approach.

To examine the value of our Lean Six Sigma approach supporting SOUL, Want proof? Take advantage of our automated workflow modeling analysis, based on your organization's specific needs. This is a no risk offer to give you first-hand experience of the benefits we are describing.

People focused leadership

This “Average Performance Range and Index” (APRI) based technology focuses on supporting SOUL based Lean Six Sigma for service organizations. “Average Performance Range and Index” (APRI) statistics views lean as the ability to implement an activity or task within degrees of percent accuracy or reliability. Reliability using APRI is measured in terms of a confidence factor to meet schedule and cost requirements for tasks, or staying within cycle time and cost ceilings for activities.

The differentiator using the APRI approach is allowing the user to incrementally control lean using percent reliability associated with either cost or time metrics. These reliability metrics, based on SOUL< define the upper and lower specification limits to which an implementation occurrence can now be measured and analyzed. These measurements allow the users to establish a lean business culture, driving up productivity and reducing cost.

Implementing Lean Six Sigma using APRI algorithms, SOUL approach, identifies defects involved with how well the team utilizes their intangible assets to meet the time and cost constraints of the project or process defined. A team that does not utilize their intangible assets like communication, problem solving and initiative, fail to achieve a lean culture, which is directly measured in APIR statistics.  Combining APRI with SOUL based Lean Six Sigma algorithms converts these measurements into solvable issues and trains the team on how to utilize their intangible assets.

Using this SOUL based approach allows an organization to implement a Lean Six Sigma culture within their existing project environment or within a process structure with greater ease and employee support. Again, no extra measurements or definitions need to occur associated with the task or activity. If the team’s lean lambda goal is reliably achieved, APRI measurements directly reflect the optimal utilization of intangible assets that achieved the Lean Six Sigma business goal. If you define a task or activity using APRI and SOUL based algorithms, you automatically implement a Lean Six Sigma business culture because the software directs and measures intangible assets activities in achieving business goals.

SOUL combined with APRI statistics complements any existing Lean Six Sigma and trains the team on how to achieve the Lean Six Sigma goals efficiently. Adjusting the lambda setting within index range of APRI causes the team to optimize the process in terms of eliminating time and money inefficiencies based on optimal utilization of their intangible assets. Using APRI and SOUL algorithms also allows the manager to identify the cause of these inefficiencies, and take positive corrective action to optimize the team’s ability to be more lean.
