The Entrepreneur’s Source Franchise: How the Six Sigma Model Can Work in Franchising

6-gamma

The best franchises are founded upon scaling and replicating winning and effective business processes. In the corporate sector, a similar idea is often called the “Six Sigma” model.

The Entrepreneur’s Source franchise Explains Six Sigma?

Many corporations utilize the “Six Sigma” model in order to improve the capability of their business procedures. Six Sigma is most commonly characterized by a decrease in process variation and an increase in personal performance. This increase in performance and decrease in variation typically yields a standardized method of procedures, eliminating confusion and disparities among products and people. Within the corporate sector, this model leads to an improvement in profits, employee morale and quality of services.

Six Sigma Success with Sir Grout Franchising

Coming from the corporate sector, Tom Lindberg is a Black Belt Sigma, the highest of the six ranks of the Six Sigma model, and has incorporated this corporate model into his franchise business. Tom, president and co-founder of Sir Grout Franchise, began his career in the corporate sector where he first learned Six Sigma, and has since utilized his knowledge of this model to improve the efficiency and procedures within his business.

“Those set of tools (Six Sigma) really worked well for us and, essentially, and you’ve probably heard this before, it centers around great people, great processes and great price,” he said. “Great people do great things, but better than that, if you have a set of processes that consistently deliver great customer results, even people that are not so great can still be successful because the processes are so strong.”

Incorporating the Six Sigma model into his franchise has allowed for fewer inconsistencies between his franchises, allowing for a unified final product and a satisfied customer base. This model increases efficiency because it eliminates these disparities, and the end result has allowed for more time to give back to the consumer.

“We really focus on great people, great processes and then, of course, you have to have great tools and products that they can use to execute,” Tom said. “My mantra is ‘Win with Winners,’ and that can be winning processes, winning products and winning people.”
