Integration of the Theory of Constraints and Lean Six Sigma
Bob Sproull was my guest on the Business901 podcast. Bob is an experienced manufacturing executive with a distinguished track record of achieving improvement goals in Manufacturing, MRO, Quality, Product Development, and Engineering. His experience base ranges from low-volume custom products (truck bodies) to process industries (tires) to service industries (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul). He is a nationally known speaker and author on problem-solving and statistical techniques, as well as his latest book on implementing an integrated Lean, Six Sigma and the Theory of Constraints.
Our discussion centered around The Ultimate Improvement Cycle: Maximizing Profits through the Integration of Lean, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints show you how to draw the best from Lean and Six Sigma by employing principles drawn from the Theory of Constraints. This approach will ensure that your effort is focused in the right place, at the right time, using the right tools, and the right amount of resources. This multi-pronged approach addresses cost accounting, variation, waste, and performance measurements. But most importantly, it focuses your organization on the right areas to optimize.

About Sproull Consulting
Unlike most other consulting companies, we don’t believe that simultaneously attacking every facet of your operation and attempting to implement across-the-board improvements offers the most expeditious or optimum return on your investment $'s. Instead, we believe that there are only a few key leverage points in your business that limit your ability to increase throughput, revenue and profits. We identify these leverage points and make them the focus of the improvement efforts. We understand that you have limited resources and you don't want them wasted on improvement efforts that yield only minimal bottom line improvement. By identifying and leveraging the right area of focus, the improvement results that you realize are significantly better and hit the bottom line at a much faster rate than any other approach on the market today.
