Methodology

The eLogic Lean Enterprise Optimization Methodology incorporates powerful proprietary methods that accelerate progress through the entire improvement process. We start with analytical tools that apply Lean Principles to your business. Then we apply technologies to handle the conversion of existing applications/data to enabling technologies that best fit your environment.

Lean Entreprise Optimization

Our Lean Enterprise Optimization practices have evolved from more than a decade of experience, enabling our clients to realize unsurpassed productivity and profitability breakthroughs.

Our Mission

Our mission is to drive profitable growth for specialized products companies. To strengthen our customers' performance and competitiveness by offering simplification and higher performance for specialized products and services beginning with a rapid evaluation of the entire quote-to-cash process. Our consultants deliver immediate and measurable results by addressing the root causes of waste, inefficiency and delays, and by eliminating these problems through proven eLogic lean-business strategies and industry-leading technologies.

Corporate Citizenship

We build strong relationships with partners, customers, and the community that are beneficial to the well being of the world in which we all live, work, and play.

Our Definition

eLogic allocates a percentage of our profits to building strong communities of business, economy, and social wellness. We are dedicated to sharing resources for education, hunger, and poverty relief for both public and private causes supported by our people. Specifically, eLogic supports non-profit organizations that devote a high percentage of their budget, including our donations, to direct services rather than administrative overhead.

Differentiate

Many companies with complex products have attempted to standardize in order to streamline the supply chain. But most of these attempts have failed to fully deliver and many are outright failures. Customers want the best value that meets their needs. And since price is related to perceived value, differentiation gains relevance. More than ever, an inability to meaningfully differentiate in the eyes of their customer makes low price the determining factor at point of sale. This is why, at eLogic, we say "Differentiate or Die!"

At eLogic we specialize in solutions that enable differentiation without the historical performance drag—people costs, slow and error prone processes and disruptive production flows. By offering speed, accuracy, timeliness and quality of experience, you can have the best of both worlds. Today, availability of critical data, automated proposals, electronic ordering, original equipment history and a host of customer service options are a necessity. All customer functionality must be properly conceived and implemented to create the most satisfying experience at point of original sale and within the service environment. Future customer loyalty will be based on knowledge management, quality of service, alliance relationships, and the ability to effectively collaborate at all levels of customer decision-making. Customer intimacy and retention will be based increasingly on data and transactional prowess versus the product feature-function-benefit values of yesterday. Will you differentiate? It is strategic and it is a choice—and it CAN be simplified.

Simplify

"Everything should be made as simple as possible...but not more so" —Albert Einstein

We say "simplify" but don't over-simplify. That means delivering the highest value in the fastest, most efficient and reliable ways. It does NOT mean simple-minded product commoditization or standardization—because that will create different problems (e.g market share losses). The key is to find the simplest ways to deliver what the customer/market wants—and stand out as the high-value solution.

For mixed-mode manufacturers, with market demands that range from standardized to highly specialized products, there are simplified solutions for every order type. At eLogic we understand these needs and have deep experience with simplification. We leverage process, data and systems capabilities proven in your world. We have the proof that it can be done—and that the rewards are compelling. Don't settle for simple answers that leave your business at a disadvantage—adopt simple solutions that lead you to competitive advantage.

Perform

Don't just perform. OUT-PERFORM!

It's about being better than your competitors at a lot of things. Of course your products need to be good, and prices need to be reasonable, and delivery needs to be on time. But the HIGHEST Performance is reserved for companies that go beyond these essentials—to perform better across every aspect of the order lifecycle. It reaches into your processes—how you handle key knowledge and product data, and the quality and power of your information technology.

Differentiation, Simplification and Innovation—together these are the winning combination for complex product companies. It takes all of these to truly change the game! By raising productivity, speeding up the flow, working only with correct/clean information and letting sales maximize their valuable time, the customer wins—and so do you. It requires dedicated focus on the entire demand cycle.

Why not assess the possibilities?

Innovate

Innovate with Next Practices

Benchmarking best practices allows enterprises to catch up with the competition, but it won't turn them into market leaders! The Definition of Next Practice in simple words: "There is a lot of research focused on best practice, but I focus on next practice. Next practice by definition has three problems: firstly it is future-oriented; secondly, no single institution or company is an exemplar of everything that you think will happen; and third, next practice is about amplifying weak signals, connecting the dots. Next practice is disciplined imagination." (Prahalad, C.K., 2004. Interview posted on The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid).

We at eLogic focus on Improvement innovation Paradigm

• Best Practice⇒Next Practice
• Current focus⇒Future focus
• Policy generated⇒Practitioner/user generated
• Adoptive⇒Adaptive
• One-Size⇒Context sensitive
• R&D⇒D&R
• Pilots⇒Trial

We help develop Core competencies for a next practice, adaptive, sense & respond enterprise

• Knowing earlier: sensing and interpreting, with tools to determine the design point for the organization.
• Managing by wire: augmented sensing and responding, using technology to translate decisions into transactions faster.
• Designing an organization as a system: strategic context, a managerial next practice to create systems providing synergies that subsets of the system cannot deliver.

Assess your innovation ability?

Organizations become leaders by spotting big opportunities and inventing NEXT PRACTICES. Executives can unearth opportunities by identifying big problems that their companies will benefit by tackling. They must ask six questions:

1. Is the problem widely recognized?
2. Does it affect other industries?
3. Are radical innovations needed to tackle the problem?
4. Can tackling it change the industry's economics?
5. Will addressing the issue create a fresh source of competitive advantage?
6. Would tackling this problem prove to be a big opportunity for us?

If you can answer YES to these problems, call us. We understand and have the experience to help you deliver the next practices for your company to lead.
