DHL FIRST CHOICE CONSULTING – HOW DOES IT WORK

For DHL First Choice, our experienced and trained experts use proven techniques such as DMAIC en Gemba. These are based on, amongst others, the Six Sigma, Lean and Change methods. In the so-called Gemba walks we literally walk along the floor and observe, precisely in the place where it all happens. Other techniques used are, for example, the 5S method, Accelerating Change Transition (ACT), Value Stream Mapping and Visual Management. Using all these different techniques will enable us to support you in a systematic and structured way to further optimize your business performance. This is of course never a ‘cookie-cutter’ approach; every First Choice Consultancy is completely customized, together with you.

Matching your company, your situation and your case or question, we will use the appropriate First Choice tools and techniques, based on Lean, Six Sigma and ACT.

DMAIC

DMAIC is an acronym for 5 steps: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control. This method is very effective for identifying and eliminating errors and inefficiencies, allowing you to further streamline your business. This will also have a direct positive effect on processes that are customer-facing.

Gemba Walk

Of Japanese origin, Gemba is a method where we literally walk with you on the ‘shop floor’. We observe and get first hand impressions in the workplace, the heart of your company where the value for your customer is created. This method allows us to help create immediate process improvements.
