Efficiency & process improvement

Streamlining success, maximizing efficiency

Profits and value are generated within the operations of an organization, and the accounting department plays an important role in ensuring those operations are running smoothly and efficiently. 

Operational performance reviews (OPRs) focus on identifying LEAN processes that improve efficiency: on‑time, on‑budget deliveries and high‑quality outputs. Processes can be streamlined to eliminate waste at every stage of operations, leading to shortened timelines and cost reductions, while increasing productivity and value. 

Our comprehensive approach to OPRs enables sustained change for greater efficiencies, while also offering practical methods for continuous improvement. 

Organizations often need to operate in a complex environment with heightened regulation and accountability. Through standardized process solutions and effective risk management, significant gains to productivity can be achieved. 

Our professionals can help your organization discover additional capacity, improve customer satisfaction and optimize supply chain activities. 

Working smarter 

Operational performance reviews focus on an organization’s long‑term outlook and commitment to leaving a positive, lasting impact on operations. We provide a solution‑oriented, team‑based approach that increases accountability and ownership. Through ongoing coaching, we work with your team to ensure that the development and implementation of plans is a continuous process. 

Our expertise includes:

• Needs assessment: Working with you to understand organizational needs and gain an in‑depth perspective, we assess qualitative and quantitative data, such as key performance indicators (KPIs) and related financial information. 

• Systematic approach: We use leading expertise and proven tools to make the operational aspects of the business more efficient by identifying and eliminating waste in organizational processes. 

• Problem solving: To facilitate sustained change, we work with your team to develop solutions. Through this level of participation, we enable greater ownership of ideas and an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. 

• Cause analysis: By drilling down on root causes, rather than focusing on symptoms, we ensure measurable results for the long term. 

• Action plans: Working with your team to identify and eliminate barriers to the successful implementation of solutions, we develop action plans that outline responsibilities, timing and future follow‑up. 

• Continuous improvement: We don’t stop after a plan is developed. We provide ongoing coaching to ensure the search for efficiency continues by helping establish long‑term goals and ongoing tactics.
