Is your approach similar to other improvement-based programs i.e. Lean Manufacturing, the Kanban method, Six Sigma and TQM?
A. In fact there are many differences. One major difference between PVA and all of these programs is that PVA is recognized for their proven Methodology and for their ability to change behaviors of Front Line Management. Our training and coaching has consistently delivered tangible, measurable and sustainable results to our satisfied Clients. Alternately, these programs focus on specific methods and techniques but do not address the behavioral changes required from a supervisor as they relate to these improvements. In addition, they do not all include the development of the proper Management Operating System elements that are required to manage these approaches. In addition, they do not all look at every aspect of the process such as line balancing and bottleneck reduction.
