The Big Sell

Possibly the most important process improvement tool of our age, T.C. Analysis allows you to:

  • Capture process defects in the moment
  • Identify critical improvement opportunities
  • Perform simultaneous analyses of cause and effect
  • Observe worker / manager interactions
  • Capture customer feedback
  • Undertake instantaneous trials
  • Rapidly develop alternatives to test mechanisms that are sub-optimal
  • Develop a sound statistically assessment of operational performance

Start today and experience the proven benefits of T.C. analysis.

* Requires pencil and paper, available from all good stationers.
