Prodsol Std DI Solution Service

Service Description

Prodsol's Standard DI Solution Service is a short, highly-focused initiative to adapt and apply a Standard Dramatic Improvement Solution within your organisation. Prodsol's engagement is staged through a solution concept presentation, adaptation workshops and implementation stages, giving you the freedom to speed up or sow down the intervention, as you see fit. You can even engage Prodsol to deliver only the initial presentation, seminar or workshop - and take things from there yourself.

Service Outline

1. High-level Executive Briefing and Discovery Session.
2. Presentation, seminar or workshop to convey the basic concept.
3. Workshop or series of workshops to apply and adapt the solution for use within the organisation.
4. Implementation cycles.

Service options

• Creating Time Solution - simple techniques for freeing up 20%-50% of your time, becoming more effective in the process.
• Innovation Solution - deliberate counter-intuitive solution generation to any business problem, challenge or opportunity or requirement.
• Synergy Solution - dramatic improvement in inter-organisational alignment, collaboration and synergy.
• Service Centre Solution - dramatic improvement in service centre capacity, lead-time, quality and customer satisfaction.
• Production Solution - dramatic improvement in facility throughput, lead-time inventory and quality.
• Project Solution - dramatic reduction in project duration and unpredictability, resulting in more, more-profitable projects within the same period of time.
• Distribution Solution - lower total inventory, elimination of over-stocking and stock-outs resulting in greater availability on a lower total cost.
• Sales Solution - dramatic increase in sales throughput.

Pros and Cons

The advantages of taking the Standard DI Solution Service option over the DI Mentoring and DI Intervention service options are:

1. Lower time and dollar cost than the DI Intervention Service, because there is no solution development component and because the scope is very narrow and clearly defined.
2. Flexibility in terms of Prodsol's role.
3. Short lead-time on seeing results for the same reason and because the initiative is tightly focused on achieving functional objectives.
4. Easy to add either or both of the other services at a alter date - and have established organisational momentum by the time you get there.

The primary disadvantages of this service are:

1. Missed global improvement opportunities (for example, the impact of creating time, improving project performance or accelerating flow are invariably magnified, even in the first phase, by a broader DI intervention). This translates to a lower total improvement impact over the same period.
2. Lack of executive control, because the intervention is championed at the functional level.

This service is ideally suited to executives who see the functional area DI opportunity as fundamental to whole organisational performance or as an ideal way to start the ball rolling.

Cross-grade/upgrade options

You can add other Standard DI Solutions or a DI Mentoring Service at any time - or upgrade to a full DI Intervention Service at any point. We'll negotiate appropriate discounts at the time.
