• Strategy Deployment / Hoshin Kanri

RCF Associates has vast experience in helping companies understand and implement the straight-forward approach of Hoshin Kanri (or Strategy Deployment).  This methodology of implementing strategy has proven to be a very effective method of getting organizational understanding, input, and buy-in necessary to successfully deploy organizational strategy and continuous improvement cultures.

• Enterprise Value Stream Analysis

Value Stream Mapping has been successfully used in Lean circles for many years now.  It has helped organizations ‘see’ the flow of information and material at the product level value stream.  From this, they have been able to put together logical and well-linked  plans for continuous improvement actions.

RCF Associates has developed a highly successful, unique in the industry approach of using Value Stream Analysis to help clients analyze their Enterprise-wide Value Stream.  With this approach, Senior Leadership can now benefit from the same discoveries that have to date been hidden or hard to see.

• Measure what Matters

RCF Associates has also developed a unique approach to walking the organization through the process of agreeing upon the measurements that will truly indicate when the Continuous Improvement efforts are delivering results that matter the customer and the business.  This effort is joined with the Value Stream Analysis, the Strategy Deployment, and the overall business environment to focus the company on the needles that truly need to be moved.
