It has long been a puzzle why so many Lean and Six Sigma implementations, launched with enthusiasm, fanfare, and abundant resources, fall short of expectations or, even worse, simply fail. Satya S. Chakravorty, professor of operations management at Kennesaw State University and a seasoned Six Sigma/Lean practitioner, addresses this question in a recent Wall Street Journal article (January 25, 2010): "Where Process-Improvement Projects Go Wrong". Chakravorty and his colleagues studied process improvement efforts in large companies over five years, and found that they tend to go through three stages: first, a "stretching" phase, led by an expert or consultant, in which substantial gains are made and...

Here are some good reasons why this is considered to be a wise choice. Freedom to grow When you go in for help desk outsourcing, you have the advantage to concentrate on growth of the company in...

Telecom management is primarily about reducing telecom costs and improving service to your users. If you are looking at new long distance rates, you might notice that long distance voice rates have been creeping up lately. Two years ago, carriers were doling out sub-two cent rates for relatively small commitments. Today, smaller users need to do some significant arm twisting to get a sub-two cent rate out of one of the big four telecom carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or Qwest). Great rates are available, but you need to have a good telecom management approach with the carriers to get their best offer. Follow these four steps to ensure you are getting the best rate available. 1) Start your...

People often ask, "What level of service should we strive to provide? Should we give 'Unbelievable!' service if our customers are not willing to pay for it?" My answer is definitely no! You can measure customer service needs to set a reasonable level to provide. Don't go to the moon on service if your business model on the moon doesn't work. No sense "serving yourself to death," bending over backwards but going broke in the process. You need to measure customer service costs to determine what level of service your business can provide, and match that with what your customers are willing to pay. Take note: customers rarely put voluntary limits on their service expectations. That's why making clear...

1. Redundancy Redundant links can be installed on the LAN and WAN. The question of whether redundant links are required is generally guided by a combination of key factors;a) Finance - is there sufficient money to cater for the additional equipment and any additional operational costs for a second link?b) Business Requirements - what is the business impact of lost network connectivity in terms of risk and revenue?c) Service Level Agreements - what are the existing service level agreements with carriers and third party providers? Are the restoration times in line with business expectation? 2. Congestion A heavily congested link is almost as bad as a down link. The usual suspects causing network...

If you are a service based company, process design projects are most likely frequently outsourced because you might not have the expertise of individuals to perform the jobs successfully.

Software product maintenance is perceived to be a bug fixing exercise. However, over the years, studies show that over 80% of the time, the 80% of the effort of a software maintenance company is in non-corrective actions, mostly functionality enhancements.

Sometimes the biggest resistance to innovation comes from the person who should benefit most from it - the customer. Customers can be very conservative. When you come along with an unorthodox new product or service they are often initially unimpressed. Why should the buyer take a risk with your unproven new gismo? He knows that new products often have bugs and he does not want to be the guinea pig on which you experiment. He is familiar with the current method - why should he change? Who would want to be the first customer for a fax machine or indeed for a telephone? It seems ridiculous now but selling the first few telephones must have been really difficult. And how about laser eye treatment? How...

For T1 and T3 (aka DS3) business connectivity.....how do you decide who offers the best package of bandwidth and network performance for the money? A T1 (or T3) by any other name or even the same name, may not be the same. There is so much more to it than "just" getting a T1 (or T3). First, no matter who you buy your T1 from, most likely the actual circuit (loop, UNE, copper, ...) will be provided by the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier, (ILEC) which is the RBOC, a Baby Bell in most areas (in the US). Might be Pac Bell, now SBC, er... AT&T (can sure get confusing). But any area with any amount of B&I will have a number of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC), other competitive phone...
