Our clients have achieved dramatic results, such as 60% reduction in cost, 45% reduction in cycle time, and 45% reduction in process steps.
Methodology

Our outstanding results have been achieved by employing our MinervaTM methodology. Minerva is a four step reengineering process that helps companies re-design and implement change. Its team approach is tailored to the needs of each client, and is based on IDEF (Integrated DEFinition), the only modeling methodology covered by a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), the same concept that guarantees our electric razors will work in all outlets in the United States. Here's how it works:

step 1 Level One: Conduct a Strategic Assessment
List business goals, objectives, a cost/benefits estimate, and an outline of the overall plan for change.

step 2 Level Two: Model and Analyze the "As-Is"
Make a structured model of all of the functions of the client's processes as they are today. This step shows how business is actually performed and the detailed steps that are taken to perform them. This also includes an analysis of the cost of those functions and the opportunities to reduce cost.

step 3 Level Three: Model and Analyze the "To-Be"
Develop a new structured model based on all the information gathered that defines and refines the client's future operations. This model shows how the business and/or operations should work in the future, once change plans are implemented.

step 4 Level Four: Develop and Execute an Implementation Plan
This results in the design of strategic, financial, and technical plans for the "To-Be" model which was designed in Level Three. This plan matches the determined business goals. Opportunities identified in Level One will be tested against the model developed in Level Three. Level Four also provides detailed group technology-based analysis of parts and products, equipment lists and layouts, identified training requirements, and cost/benefit scenarios for implementation.
