Increase market share and explore untapped market segments with SECORA Innovation Methodology

  • Gain market share using a systematic method to develop new products or services.
  • Simulate the products and service delivery system.

The first stage of SIM involves determining the needs of customers using interviews, focus groups and surveys to gather data, with needs priority using Kano Analysis; translated into measurable parameters using Quality Function Deployment.

Once needs are identified, preliminary designs are developed and alternatives evaluated using methods such as Axiomatic Design and TRIZ.

We then develop a detailed design, create a simulation to predict design performance, and finally prepares control plans to identify potential design flaws. Design of Experiments, Taguchi Methods, Tolerance Design and Response Surface Methodology are used in developing and refining the detailed design.

We then pilot the new design, confirm customer requirements are met, and implement the new process, product or service.

SIM assists your business to increase market share and explore untapped market segments.

THE AGILE JOURNEY

AGILE addresses the central challenge facing business today: how to provide instant, intimate and seamless value at scale.

AGILE provides companies with a guiding framework on how to manage teams throughout organizations, regardless of function, department, industry or product.

AGILE’S purpose:

  • Embed a mindset of the way a company’s team works, and how they work with each other
  • Entrench an understanding that success or failure depends on leadership
  • Break silo thinking and encourage co-creation
  • AGILE gives senior management the model, methodology and enabling tools to support business transformation.

Satisfying the customer through early, continuous delivery lies at the heart of AGILE premised on five key pillars:

  • Strategy
  • Structure
  • Process
  • People
  • Technology

Many companies believe their focus has to be on ‘doing’ AGILE, when in fact AGILE is something they need strive to be.

AGILE is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model with cookie-cutter approaches. Instead, four core values guide the AGILE mindset in that it:

  • Prioritizes people (individuals and interactions) over processes and tools
  • Focuses on working solutions over excessive paper shuffling
  • Responds to change rather than following a plan
  • Enables customer collaboration over rigid contracts
  • “The highest priority,” declares the 2001 AGILE Manifesto, “is to satisfy the customer.”

The hallmarks of an AGILE company include:

  • Shorter customer response times with on-time delivery and quick reliable results
  • Higher productivity, product quality, reliability and predictability
  • Ability to cope with changing environments
  • Focuses on “end-to-end” solutions
  • Uses current available resources
  • Cross-pollination of knowledge
  • Reinventing business culture

AGILE provides the catalyst that helps companies reinvent their business culture, which is typically shaped by an organization’s leadership, what they value, what they say and most importantly, what they do.

Our Approach

Secora Quality Advancement

QUALITY ADVANCEMENT   with practical quality issues translated into mathematical models and solutions that enable practical improvement strategies, underpinned with monitoring systems for sustained performance.

Secora Effective Strategy

EFFECTIVE STRATEGY supports operational distinction; achieved by ensuring the most effective use of resources by clearly defining the purpose and inspiration of the organization, establishing realistic future goals and objectives, and finally communicating these objects and aims to the organization’s stakeholders.

Secora Process Streamlining

PROCESS STREAMLINING is achieved by identifying and reducing operational waste, such as unnecessary transport, large inventories (both final and in-process), excessive motion, pointless waiting, over production, over processing, frequent defects, and underutilized resources.

Secora Operational Effectiveness

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS is optimised for efficiency by defining, selecting and prioritizing outputs; then we identify and maximize key drivers that make up the value chain throughout.
