Profit & Capacity Unlock Program (PCUP)
50% Profit increase in 18 Months and Year on Year Recurring Benefits
Profit & Capacity Unlock Program (PCUP)
What is PCUP?
PCUP(c) is a methodology developed by the Center for Lean Excellence to create rapid sustainable results for organizations.
The main focus of this program is to create a significant bottom-line impact for an organization, preferably a 50% profit increase (depend on the business scenario) within 18 months.
The savings are designed to recur in the coming years, creating a cushion for the company to invest in an overall lean transformation approach that will provide sustainable transformation in people and culture aspects.
What We Promise
Did you know that 70% of companies embarking on continuous improvement programs end up failing?
This statistic applies globally. Have you experienced a similar scenario—spending your team’s time and a significant amount of money on consultants, only to fall short of your goals?
Many companies initially see promising results, but over time, they regress to their old ways of working. This not only creates a negative image among employees but also makes it difficult to reintroduce similar programs in the future.
We have identified the ultimate causes, which are multiple and must work together.
It’s not just factors like leadership drive, employee engagement, training, and organizational culture. The key is an approach that ensures everyone in the organization participates in the transformation and takes accountability. Many organizations fail due to a flawed design.
We create a lasting foundation on which the house of lean can be built. With 150+ years of collective experience, we know the right ingredients and approach to set the proper foundation that leads to the right results.
Hybrid Strategy for PCUP
Top Down Approach
This involves a top-down strategy that focuses on major kaizens with leadership-level engagement. Here, we establish cross-functional teams focusing on prioritized business areas that can bring significant improvements.
Bottom up Approach
Simultaneously, we deploy a bottom-up approach through the gemba kaizen method, involving everyone in the organization to make small changes every day.. Daily improvements enable employees to feel revitalized and accomplished, providing intrinsic motivation to drive major kaizen projects.
