WHAT DO WE BRING TO THE TABLE?
We are an independent consultancy that is IT vendor independent and a Lean Six Sigma practice. Because we are independent, we are not obliged to recommend any specific vendor, service or technology; rather we concentrate on the best solution for our client. JBS’ focuses on benefits, framed by best-in-class methodology and delivering best practices that produce: Growth, Performance and Savings.
BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERTISE
Today, most companies are not fully optimized and retain inefficiencies in day-to-day operations of doing business. These anomalies affect your business in many ways. JBS was founded on this philosophy: provide insight, identify opportunities and problems, focus on their consequences and rewards, plan for change and implement those solutions that transform inefficiencies into growth, ascertain real savings and initiate improvement.
Transformation is a journey. That journey is based on a forward thinking approach to discover new and better ways to improve efficiency, productivity, performance and profitability. Change is a constant in business and will always be. In the current environment, the work we perform, how we do it, where we do it and the process of actually completing the task is undergoing a significant paradigm shift. That insipid “globalization” is a reality and a derivative of the global economy that has emerged.
This approach works best as a planned journey, starting with the right ideas and methodology, second, using the right tools, and last using the right advisors who have the hands-on experience and knowledge. We will provide a structured Roadmap to monitor your journey's progress, track deliverables and maintain a pulse on its progress.
EXECUTE A TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY
Strategic planning is the most effective management tool for controlling change and instilling transformation. Strategic planning is a mindset to embrace change for the benefits to your concern, but this mindset must conform to a framework in order to be repeatable and consistent. In short, strategic planning is a process. In some cases, change is slow and easy to digest. In others cases, such as the current energy crisis, dramatic and quick changes affect and impact your business and its organization. Strategic refinement is a mindset to embrace change for the benefits to your concern, but this mindset must conform to a structured framework in order to be repeatable and consistent.
In today’s competitive environment, this new model stems from fundamental needs to be more efficient, productive and profitable based on criteria for increased performance. This mantra is infused in the business model that embraces flexibility and agility. It embraces new technology, understands the changing workforce, engages innovation and rethinks the work structure and its environment. This agility model is based on three separate, but integrated principles:
- Reduce defects, waste, fixed costs and focus on cost control to meet or beat trends in the competitive landscape,
- Institutionalize innovation within a flexible process to bring new, faster, better and cheaper solutions to the marketplace in a timely manner, and
- Identify, recognize and mitigate the “talent gap” for creative and knowledge-based specialists.

CONVERT PROBLEMS INTO BENEFITS
Where are the quick "hits" that provide immediate impact? Transform known problems into tangible benefits, quickly. By using Lean Six Sigma strategies, your organization could reduce expenses, improve cycle times, and eliminate waste that in turn produce savings. Process Transformation is focused on fixing existing problems: Growth and Savings can be obtained from Lean Six Sigma methodology to improve process performance, provide growth, identify cost savings and stabilize your processes for measurable results. This methodology identifies strengths and weaknesses in your processes so you can transform them into tangible benefits.
DISCOVER AND IDENTIFY
When improving your business, establish a management control framework to identify weaknesses in your organization. Those weaknesses then can be refined and transformed into benefits, as well. Many corporations know their costs, but may not know their performance, productivity or be aware of where their weak links are. Performance Solutions start with measuring with the right metrics: Determine your weak links through business intelligence: Measure and Monitor Performance reporting, through Scorecards and Dashboards, provides information to identify issues and problems, quickly. Improve your decision-making tools. JBS uses Microsoft, SAP and other IT technologies to build these tools for you. This type of business intelligence helps executives, and other senior managers, better understand how their strategies perform.
