Navigate Your Road to Continuous Improvement with NovaSets Consulting
Turning Every Bend into an Opportunity for GrowthAt NovaSets, we transform each challenging turn into an opportunity. With our structured approach, we help your business improve productivity, reduce defects, and achieve long-lasting success.
Top-Down Approach
If needed, we work with directors and leadership to refine the Mission, Vision, and Strategy. Once these elements are established, we develop a clear improvement roadmap based on the Hoshin X-Chart method. This aligns decision-making with core beliefs, leading to focused projects that contribute to the organization’s goals without getting lost in the details.
Bottom-Up Approach
After defining strategic projects, we bring everyone in the company together to align on these key initiatives. We empower each team member to understand their role in driving success, ensuring that every contribution counts. As employees see the difference they make, their commitment to lasting improvements grows—creating a culture of continuous progress.
Creating an Improvement-Focused Organization
By merging top-down leadership with bottom-up empowerment, we align the entire organization—from executives to front line teams—around shared goals. This integration establishes practical, lasting solutions that are self-sustaining. Addressing the most urgent needs first, generates the momentum and motivation needed for everyone to strive for continuous enhancement, building an energized culture of ongoing improvement. The X-Chart makes sure that we don’t loose oversight.
The Right Blend of Tools
To ensure that strategic changes are not only implemented but also sustained, we utilize a blend of Lean, Six Sigma, and Theory of Constraints as a bottom-up approach. We work closely with all levels of the organization to improve the work environment, beginning with the implementation of 5S to establish a foundation of efficiency and order. Additionally, we identify the most critical steps needed to boost profitability and support overcoming bottlenecks. This holistic approach enhances the resilience of the organization.
Bring Information to the Workforce
Sharing information on the workfloor is crucial for embedding change into the company culture, as it empowers employees at every level to identify inefficiencies, suggest improvements, and take ownership of the transformation process. By involving the workforce directly in improvement activities, these methods enhance a sense of shared responsibility and engagement that goes beyond traditional methods. This approach cultivates a culture of continuous improvement, where everyone contributes to refining processes, reducing waste, and adding value. It helps make changes stick by fostering an environment where employees feel valued and are actively part of the success story, ultimately leading to a stronger, more resilient organization.
Introducing NovaSets’ Proprietary Software Solutions
At NovaSets, we provide proprietary software solutions that help you gain valuable insights into your production processes, enabling effective, data-driven improvements. Here’s a quick look at our key solutions:
1. QR Code-Based Production Insight
Our software generates QR codes that can be printed and used during production activities. By scanning these QR codes at each step, you gain instant insight into the performance of individual production steps. These insights help identify the most critical steps for improvement, making it easier to prioritize actions that lead to impactful changes.
2. Ongoing OEE Monitoring with Sensors
By installing sensors in your production environment, our software continuously measures Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). This includes monitoring the percentage of time that production lines are operational, how efficiently production runs, and counting defects. These insights give leadership a clear direction for daily improvements and ensure that production performance is always visible and actionable.
3. Avocado Ripening Room Monitoring
Our specialized software solution measures air components in the headspace of an Avocado Ripening Room. This data creates insights into the ripening stages of avocado batches, providing a clear understanding of the development process to optimize ripening and improve product quality.
