Rockwell
Automation Selects SigmaFlow’s Best Practice Execution System
for their PowerLean Initiative
PLANO, TEXAS - NOVEMBER
8, 2006
Rockwell Automation, whose
PowerLean program combines the strategies of Lean Manufacturing,
Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance and Energy Management,
has selected SigmaFlow’s Best Practice Execution System
for portfolio project management and implementation of PowerLean’s
best practice templates.
Rockwell Automation’s
PowerLean program is the result of years of implementing continuous
improvement programs internally and for customers. PowerLean delivers
significant client results by reducing manufacturing lead times,
cycle times, and reduction in work-in-process inventory.
Rockwell Automation selected
SigmaFlow because it is the only solution with a web-based executive
information system that synchronizes with a desktop-based project
template workflow system. The combined solution ensures standards,
consistency and productivity by integrating template workflow,
document management, project management, and Lean Six Sigma diagnostic
tools. Tools include Lean Benchmarking, Value Stream Mapping,
process simulation, FMEA and Control Plans, to name a few.
“SigmaFlow’s
Best Practice Execution System is the ideal solution for major
productivity initiatives like PowerLean,” said Anthony Sparks,
Director of Rockwell Automation’s Power Lean Program. “The
solution allows us to create and deploy best practice templates
to ensure that our projects and processes are generating the highest
ROI for our customers. SigmaFlow’s unique web and desktop
solution also gives our executives timely project status visibility
without burdening our practitioners with redundant data entry.”
Jay Holstine, CEO of SigmaFlow,
said: “Rockwell Automation’s PowerLean initiative
is a proven repeatable methodology that delivers first-class results.
We look forward to partnering with Rockwell to ensure the maximum
value to the end customer. This is a perfect marriage; Rockwell
Automation’s Power Lean is a compelling strategy and SigmaFlow
is their smart system.”
