TCA SIX SIGMA PROGRAM

In today's global economy, staying competitive demands innovative thinking. It requires a clear and consistent approach to quality improvement. To improve productivity — and the bottom line — companies must integrate process improvement programs into every aspect of their business.

Six Sigma is a proven approach to delivering close to flawless products and services. In a Six Sigma company, problems and goals are operationally defined; problem analysis and solutions are data-driven. It's an approach that leads to results — both now and in the future.

Since 1984 TCA has worked with organizations like yours to enhance performance and accelerate growth. Our Six Sigma program is just one more way we're helping to build some of America's best companies.

Six Sigma can have an immediate and lasting impact in many areas, including:

• Transactional/service business sectors
• Enterprise system implementation and integration
• Data mining and legacy architecture efficiency
• Machine and labor productivity
• Product and service development and design
• Logistics
• Operations management
• Administrative cycle time reduction
• Manufacturing cycle time reduction
• Capacity improvement
• Reduction in the cost of poor quality
• Net revenue increases
