GE Toolkit

GE Advantage projects leverage a variety of tools aimed at driving operational excellence, including:

  • Change Acceleration Process (CAP) - is a framework and toolkit for successfully implementing change. It focuses on making sure all the elements are considered and in place for a successful transition.
  • Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) - expands on the Six Sigma toolkit to ensure that products and processes are designed for reliability and for process capability. Design for Six Sigma has a six step methodology: define, measure, analyze, design, optimize and verify.
  • LEAN - looks at the process from the perspective of customer value. Process activity that does not create value is considered waste and should be eliminated. Overproduction and defect generation are significant causes of waste and are specifically targeted in order to accelerate the process and eliminate defects.
  • SIX SIGMA - is a rigorous, data driven problem solving methodology used to understand the drivers of variability in a process and eliminate defects. The approach uses five phases: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.
  • Quality Management System (QMS) - utilizes procedures, processes, organizational structure, and resources to ensure quality control and improve the effectiveness of processes.
  • WorkOut (WO) - is a facilitated session that brings together various stakeholders, in order to identify dramatic process improvement opportunities and implement plans for improvement.
