Built on Trust and Credibility
-
 We had a backlog of over 150 open service tickets across three clinics. Work Stream came in, mapped our processes, and helped us redesign the workflow—reducing turnaround time by 40% in just <br>six weeks.
-
 Our production leads were putting out fires instead of leading. The Supervisor Boot Camp gave them practical tools like visual management and daily tiered huddles that changed everything. We saw a 25% drop in errors within two months.
-
 After a leadership change, we had critical initiatives stalling out. Work Stream provided an interim process improvement lead who immediately drove progress on two stalled Kaizen events and helped us hit our quarterly ops goals.
-
 We saved over $250K last year by implementing just three of the improvements identified during our Lean Six Sigma engagement. The team at Work Stream gave us the roadmap and coaching to execute confidently.
-
 Our team completed Green Belt training through Work Stream Academy and actually applied it—something we hadn’t seen with other programs. The real project support and MBB mentorship made the<br> difference.
-
 We were evaluating a manufacturing acquisition and needed eyes on operational risk. Work Stream gave us a deep-dive report in under 10 days—including throughput constraints, staffing misalignment, and quick wins for margin expansion.
-
 We struggled with aligning our strategic goals across departments. Work Stream led us through Hoshin planning and helped build dashboards that finally gave us visibility. Execution became a team <br>sport.
-
 We’d failed at two previous Lean rollouts. Work Stream broke through the resistance by embedding on-site, running hands-on events, and working directly with our operators. It was the first time improvement actually stuck.
-
 Our inventory was bloated and unreliable. Work Stream performed a supply chain diagnostic and helped us implement a simple reorder point system that cut <br>holding costs by 18% <br>in Q1.
-
 We were implementing a new CRM across our nonprofit chapters, and adoption was stalling. Work Stream helped design a change management plan that boosted frontline engagement and ensured smoother rollout.
