LSSRIM & ISO 9001 Implementation -- GGMC

Project Type

Lean Six Sigma Rapid Improvement Workshop
ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard implementation

Date

May 2012

The project focused on Lean Six Sigma (LSS) principles, specifically the LSSRIM approach, which aimed to drive sustainability and profitability by enhancing process efficiency. The core idea was to align the company's improvement efforts with the priorities of top management while addressing both stakeholder needs and corporate goals.
The Key Points were:
• Improved Process Efficiency: Lean Six Sigma focuses on minimizing waste, reducing errors, and increasing operational efficiency, which directly contributes to cost savings and economic profit.
• Management Alignment: The central goal is ensuring that management priorities align with the executive management's goals, ensuring that all levels of the organization are working toward common objectives.
• Employee Involvement: Unlike traditional training, LSS offers a structured approach where employees are actively engaged in defining, evaluating, improving, and sustaining changes, making it a more participatory and impactful process.
• Customer Satisfaction: By improving processes and addressing inefficiencies, the approach aims to enhance both internal and external customer satisfaction.
• Enhanced Commitment: The methodology fosters greater collaboration and commitment from staff, which leads to a more engaged workforce that is aligned with organizational goals.
• Effective Leadership: Training in LSS equips executive leadership with the tools needed for better management and decision-making, improving the overall effectiveness of the organization.

LSSRIM aims to create lasting improvements, ensuring that the organization continuously evolves to meet both operational and strategic goals, leading to sustained success. It also offers a comprehensive framework for improving efficiency, engaging employees, and delivering results that are aligned with the strategic objectives of top management.
For the implementation of the ISO 9001 Management System, the focus was to guide GGMC through the process of developing, implementing, and achieving compliance with the ISO standard for 9001 (Quality Management) Certification.
The consulting efforts spanned across several key areas, and the guidance offered was shaped by the ISO 9001 standard as well as the company’s sector (mining service industry).

• Understanding the Organization’s Context
