The Global Economy and Outsourcing

Monday, November 24th, 2008

It has been a hot topic in the news that many corporations have moved to outsourcing some of their jobs to other countries in order to lower costs. This has been beneficial for third world countries as it helps grow their economies, bring much needed capital and change their economies from a farming economy or manufacturing economy to a service related economy. With this change brings an increased standard of living and education. The cycle feeds back into itself and conditions improve even more.

The country that has received the most attention with customer service outsourcing is India. India is perfectly poised to be a strong player in the global economy for a number of reasons. First, India has a large number of English speakers. Although it is important to maintain their cultural heritage, English is the international language of business and it is necessary to compete globally. Second, India has an excellent education system, especially for a third world country, that trains its one billion people to be able to compete globally. Third, Indians are famous for their strong work ethic and desire to succeed. All three of these things combined makes India a hot growing economy.

The criticism has come from the U.S. service sector which has lost many jobs to India. It has been difficult for those that lose the jobs, but ultimately this will be beneficial for the United States. It leaves the best, highest paying jobs at home and creates new markets for our goods in India as Indians are raised out of poverty. The global economy makes not only the Indians richer but it makes us richer also.

Searching For Info On Six Sigma Online

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I’ve been bugging management lately about Six Sigma Online. I think our company would benefit greatly from Six Sigma Online - we’ve suffered from serious efficiency issues lately.
I’ve been surfing the net looking at options for Lean Six Sigma Certification. It’s not cheap, that’s for sure, but the potential cost savings look like they might justify the price.
If my former business partner’s experience is any indication, Six Sigma Online could really make a big difference for us in terms of the bottom line.
Your comments are welcome as always.

Wondering About Business Process Mapping

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I was talking to a friend yesterday about Business Process Mapping.
I figure learning more about flow charts and business maps could help us get our house in order here.
I’ve learned a lot about Business Process Mapping Software in recent weeks, and I think it can really help us improve our business methods.
It turns out that process maps are very similar to flow charts, which makes them easy enough to work with.
Ok - that’s it for today.

Thoughts On Lean Manufacturing Techniques

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

I’ve been checking into Lean Manufacturing Techniques for our company recently. I think it has potential to improve our efficiency, which is something we need badly if we’re going to survive.
From what I can tell, Lean Manufacturing In the Medical Device Industry would be of such great benefit for us that it would be worth the difficult changes we’d have to make.
Greater efficiency is always the best way to improve the bottom line, in my mind, because it can all happen inside the company. It doesn’t depend on anyone but ourselves.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this down the line.

Can A Small Business Utilize Erp Software Applications?

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

It is common knowledge the wonders that Erp can do for a large companies bottom line. But what about smaller firms? An ERP deployment is more likely in a large company, due to the business process analysis, employee training, etc, that is involved when deploying erp software applications. It is true to say, however, that technology is driven by competition and with new industry-specific management software applications entering the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) arena, at an alarming rate, many smaller businesses are dipping their toes into the ERP pool and enjoying the benefits that Enterprise Resource Planning can offer them. So I think it is well worth the time for smaller firms to investigate this technology.
