Roman philosopher Lucius Seneca once said "When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind." General Electric, under the helm of CEO Jack Welch, first aimed for the harbor of reduced costs. Jack used six sigma tools and maps to pilot GE to improve processes, resulting in over $1.5 billion in bottom line improvements. Over the past two decades, many firms using the same methods have also been able to improve profitability by reducing costs.

Since 2002, Uniworld Consulting, a small dynamic firm headquartered in Yorktown, has helped pilot companies such as Samsung and Mahle, Inc. on a course to reducing costs, improving processes, and solving long standing problems. Our clients have typically achieved a 20:1 payback, with some individual projects resulting in over $1M in bottom line savings. However, no company has ever been able to shrink itself to greatness; a practical approach to grow the top line is still needed. Balancing short term cost reduction and long term growth is critical.

Uniworld's world class approach goes beyond reducing costs for short term savings, focusing on growing the top line for longer term success. Our practical product development, voice of the customer, and innovation methods have assisted companies as diverse as 3M, Cooper Standard, and Jubilant Organosys to identify new markets, better meet current customer needs and earn the desired return. For example, on June 28, 2006, an independent panel announced Cooper Standard as the winner of Best Achievement of Design for Six Sigma, from a total of 65 entries, at the Global Six Sigma Summit. In the innovation arena, the "Frost & Sullivan Product Differentiation Award" was won by Jubilant Organosys who used the Uniworld process to identify customer and consumer demands to develop differentiated, value-added animal feed products.

Uniworld's strength lies in our commitment to collaboration and our solid foundation in areas such as six sigma, lean enterprise, product development, process design, and innovation methods including TRIZ. We have been integral in business improvements throughout the world, working with large and small organizations to help clients develop their internal potential to successfully integrate key practices to meet stretch performance goals.
