Process Improvement
What we do
We specialize in optimizing business processes. Leveraging our expertise in process improvement, we work to streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies and boost overall performance for our clients. This involves analyzing existing workflows, identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions that improve operational efficiency.

Process Improvement Benefits
Efficient processes are the foundation of all successful businesses. Efficient organizations understand the importance of a resilient and well-constructed process framework. Process improvement focuses on streamlining tasks, reducing unnecessary waste and proactively solving problems before they escalate. Much like the foundation of your house, efficient processes are the foundation of your business.
By making these adjustments, companies can get more done in less time, reduce errors and create a better experience for both employees and customers.

Lean Six Sigma & DMAIC
Process Improvement
Our team is trained in Lean Six Sigma and applies the DMAIC method to improve processes. Lean Six Sigma is a structured methodology that is borne out of a combination of two highly effective continuous improvement methodologies: Lean and Six Sigma.
Lean Six Sigma helps identify and eliminate waste generated by faulty processes in an organization, and reduce unnecessary costs while prioritizing output consistency. Lean Six Sigma is a tested and proven methodology that is used by thousands of organizations. We follow the DMAIC methodology when undertaking a process improvement project.
The DMAIC methodology is one of the most important teachings of Lean Six Sigma. The acronym DMAIC represents “Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control”. Each word represents the title of a major phase in a process improvement project. This 5-step methodology allows Lean Six Sigma practitioners to carry out a process improvement project in a structured manner.
Kaizen Workshops
A Kaizen workshop is a collaborative and structured event focused on continuous improvement within an organization. Derived from the Japanese term "Kaizen," meaning "change for better", these workshops bring together cross-functional teams to identify, analyze, and implement incremental improvements in processes, systems, or workflows. During a Kaizen workshop, participants gather to discuss specific areas of concern or opportunities for enhancement.
The workshop typically follows a well-defined framework, including the following key steps:
1
Select a Focus Area
The workshop begins by selecting a specific process, task, or area that requires improvement. This could be a bottleneck, inefficiency, or any aspect that affects operational effectiveness.
3
Brainstorm Solutions
Through brainstorming and open discussions, the team generates ideas for process improvements. The goal is to think creatively and consider various perspectives.
5
Develop Action Plans
For the selected improvement ideas, the team creates actionable plans outlining specific steps, responsibilities, timelines, and expected outcomes.
7
Monitor Progress
The team establishes metrics to track the impact of the implemented changes and ensures ongoing monitoring to gauge the success of the improvements.
2
Analyze Current State
The team examines the current state of the process, identifying bottlenecks, waste, redundancies, and areas for improvement.
4
Prioritize Ideas
The team evaluates and prioritizes the generated ideas based on factors like impact, feasibility, and alignment with goals.
6
Implement Changes
Depending on the complexity, some changes might be implemented during the workshop itself, while others could be part of a longer-term improvement strategy.
Kaizen Workshop Benefits
Employee Engagement
Involving employees in the improvement process boosts morale and engagement by showing that their opinions and ideas are valued.
Efficiency Improvements
Kaizen workshops lead to streamlined processes, reduced waste, and enhanced productivity.
Improved Quality
By encouraging creative problem-solving, Kaizen workshops foster a culture of innovation and quality control within the organization.
Risks Minimized
These workshops instill a mindset of continuous improvement, making it an integral part of the organization's DNA.
Supporting Services
In addition to process improvement, we offer System Implementation and Process Automation. We specialize in ensuring seamless transitions to new technologies within your process flow and leverage tools like Microsoft PowerApps and Power Automate to streamline workflows and eliminate repetitive tasks.
System Implementation
Technology alone doesn’t fix operational challenges - it needs the right process design and alignment between business and IT to be effective. We step in when companies are implementing new software and need to ensure processes are properly defined, optimized, and adopted, while also preparing teams for the transition.
Process Automation
In today’s fast-paced world, there’s no need to spend millions on new software to automate your processes. The tools you need may already exist within your current software suite, ready to streamline operations quickly and cost-effectively. At Stymiest, we help you maximize their potential. Repetitive, manual processes slow operations and waste valuable resources. We create automation tools and workflows that reduce effort, minimize errors and allow your teams to focus on more valuable tasks.
Power App
Development
Streamline data processing & workflows
Automation with existing business processes
PowerApps is a low-code platform that allows users to create custom applications for various devices (web, mobile, tablet) without traditional coding. It offers a visual interface that enables users to design and build apps by dragging and dropping components, connecting to data sources (such as SharePoint, SQL Server, Excel, and more), and defining business logic through a user-friendly interface.
Power Automate is a workflow automation tool that allows users to create automated processes and workflows that connect different apps, services, and data sources. It enables users to define trigger events (such as when a new item is added to a SharePoint list) and then create actions that are executed based on those triggers.
