Six Sigma & Variation Reduction
Attack the variance, not the mean. Predictability compounds; averages don’t.
You’re here because your averages look fine, but your worst weeks are quietly eating the margin — and no one can tell you why they happen.
Delivered through D·A·S·E·C·S™
Six phases, one connected system - each phase feeds every other.
Establish ground truth. Observe the work as it is performed, not as it is documented. Instrument before opining.
Score against Hex360. Quantify the gap between current and viable. Separate constraints from habits.
Sequence interventions with the Transformation Compass. Model payback, dependency, and organisational cost.
Deliver in dated increments. Every increment ships a measurable change in the Business Performance Index.
Hold the gain. Install thresholds, alarms, and owners. Regression is a detected event, not a discovery. The plan is proven only after it survives at least two full monthly cycles.
Transfer ownership. HexOS runs without us. Capability is the deliverable; the report is a by-product. A tapering, low-intensity cadence - because gains must hold through real business cycles, not a demo week.
What you get
You leave able to predict your process, not merely describe its average.
- A capability baseline — Cp/Cpk on your critical characteristics
- The two or three ranked drivers behind the variation
- Control limits, each with an owner and an alarm
Progress is reported against the Business Performance Index™, not a task list.
What we need
Access to the work as it is performed, not as it is documented. One sponsor with the authority to change decision rights. Permission to report what we find.
Often paired with
Quality Management Systems
Quality systems that pass the audit and hold on an ordinary working day.
Continuous Improvement Programme Design
An improvement engine with a backlog, a cadence, and a measured yield.
Standard Work & SOP Engineering
Documentation written for the person doing the work, not the person filing it.
