Quick Wins

Identify significant opportunities that can be implemented relatively quickly and with low capital investment.

Bypass Solutions can carry out quick wins analysis.  This analysis identifies significant improvement opportunities, often without the need for significant expenditure.

Performance measurement and feedback is an essential tool in meeting corporate objectives.  However there is always a need to balance measurements to ensure the overall objectives are met.

We can offer services to:

• Identify improvement opportunities based on a review of performance measures, process observations and variance analysis.
• Undertake regular performance measure health checks to ensure they are updated and upgraded as business and internal culture changes.
• Review existing performance measures and make recommendations on improvements to the measures.
• Develop and implement performance measures across a business enterprise.

Improvement opportunities can often be hidden within a company’s existing reporting system because:

• Performance measures do not match the company's objectives.
• Company objectives are often in conflict - eg. lowest cost producer and most flexible, which leads to compromises in both outcomes.
• A key cost or revenue measure is missing.
• The measure is determined in a way that provides misleading information and thus causes incorrect decisions.
• Conflict in performance outcomes; an improvement in one measure can only be achieved at the expense of another.

The challenge in assessing performance measures is to ensure the balance is right.  Strong ownership of departmental budgets can lead to significant overall business improvement, even if there are a few sub optimal decisions.  The challenge is to ensure the measures are appropriate and appropriately used.
