Alvis launches their CI program with us

Good change with small steps

Alvis (alvis180.org) is a 400+ employee non-profit human service agency that serves nearly 8,000 men, women, young adults and children in Ohio each year in criminal justice re-entry and family support programs, behavioural health, and substance abuse treatment services.

Since last November we have been Alvis's partner of choice in bringing structure and discipline to their newest innovation initiative through our 3-month continuous improvement mentorship program.

Having recently created a Continuous Quality Improvement Team, Alvis contacted us to assist in the setup, training and launch of their 'CQI Team' consisting of 5 individuals responsible for company-wide ongoing change management & process optimisation program.

Together the Alvis CQI team, we have integrated into their training program a rich set of Lean-friendly methodologies together with our software as a service offering allowing each team member to digitally catalogue business processes and their interdepartmental touchpoints while capturing, analysing and communicating waste reduction opportunities to the executive management team.

Furthermore, by way of our automated PDCA module, we have trained each team member to effectively launch process optimisation opportunities found during waste identification workshops with the business teams while automating the standard, repetitive tasks of their daily business using our PDCA kanban board.

A detailed case study will be published in Q2 regarding the number of opportunities the Alvis team were able to capitalise on and the benefits that were achieved.

The successful launch of this program represents the 4th client acquisition we have made during the course of the Covid-19 pandemic for which the sales, on boarding and training activities were carried out in a completely virtual manner with zero travel expenses required.
