As seen below, Fairfield Technologies provides measurable performance improvement to client organizations. FTI accomplishes this improvement through such means as:
- Re-engineering existing business processes
- Updating and improving existing software applications that support key business missions
- Prototyping new systems architectures and concepts to make “order of magnitude” process productivity, cost, or quality improvements
- Instituting new process standards that control and improve quality of business artifacts produced
Typically, FTI’s structured performance improvement approach encompasses the following steps:
- Define “As-Is” Process Architecture and Systems
- Analyze current business processes, rules and metrics
- Analyze current systems hardware and applications architecture
- Identify bottlenecks, constraints, and redundancies
- Define and Implement “To-Be” Architecture and Systems
- Define the end state processes and architecture required to accomplish
- Identify appropriate process metrics
- Validate and verify design and associated business rules and processes
- Develop system components to support redefined processes
- Verify and validate developed systems against redefined processes and associated metrics
- Deploy systems and business rules
- Continuous Process Improvement
- Define and implement approach for metrics data collection and analysis
- Institute communication methods for metrics analysis reporting
- Refine business processes and tune systems to allow for continuous performance improvement
Our approach, summarized in the associated case studies, is based on widely-accepted industry standards and best practices, such as Lean Six Sigma, ISO 20000, CMMI and ITIL.
