Brainboxes, a rapidly growing company specializing in the design and the manufacture of PC add-on cards for mission-critical applications, turns to Six Sigma for excellence in business practice by reducing wastes and costs.
Dave Ritchie, former Brainboxes’ Hardware Team Leader, completed an intensive Six Sigma Black Belt training. He now works full time on Six Sigma-based improvement projects throughout the company.Ritchie is being helped by another Brainboxes employee, Xiaolong Shi, a Six Sigma Green belter.
The company expects to implement a six-year plan that will see between 20 and 30% of its staff trained to Green Belt or Black Belt level in Six Sigma methods.
Eammon Walsh, Managing Director of Brainboxes said, “The methodologies of Six Sigma are leading to improvements and developments in our products and services that are setting new standards of performance, value and quality for Brainboxes. News of this has certainly impressed some of our existing customers. Our success to date with Six Sigma, and our commitment to it, has proven that such process enhancements can work just as well in a company our size, as they do in large multinationals.”
