Using Lean Six Sigma for Fast Track SG&A Reductions
In today’s challenging economy companies continue to search for opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their overhead processes. What has changed recently is a shift from focusing on cost reductions to a focus on holding the line as the economy recovers. In nearly every discussion with senior leadership over the past few months they have mentioned the need to keep staffing levels constant while continuing to improve the service levels even as they see growth on the horizon.
Recently we shared some of our thinking on SG&A improvement in a webinar. And while the information focused on how to use Lean Six Sigma to drive out costs – the underlying theme is that the same approach can be used to prepare for the upturn.
We’ve embedded the link to the recorded webinar here and also made the PowerPoint presentation available. We hope you will find a few nuggets that can help you in your own quest for improvement and preparation for the looming recovery.
