Since 1978 Thomas Group has helped hundreds of businesses realize billions in hard cash improvements.
Born of the challenges of the emerging semiconductor industry, Thomas Group’s First Pass Yield (quality) and Total Cycle Time® (speed) process management concepts helped shape the semiconductor manufacturing processes that have made electronic products the ubiquitous and essential part of our lives they are today.
Thomas Group’s proprietary Total Cycle Time methodology, a forerunner to many process improvement and management concepts, such as Total Quality Management, Kaizen, Six Sigma, and Lean manufacturing, outlined a cross-functional organizational approach to solving quality and speed related manufacturing problems.
As best practices evolved in the semiconductor manufacturing environment, Thomas Group began applying them to other functional areas of the business enterprise and in a broader spectrum of industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer, and retail products, distribution, financial services, federal government, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, technology and telecommunications and transportation and logistics. Thomas Group continually helped businesses, federal government, and military enterprises improve processes, overcome functional barriers, and improve bottom-line results through a cross-functional and collaborative approach. Our process management skills, collaborative spirit, and a commitment to making a real difference enable our clients to achieve best-in-class operational performance and significant bottom line results.
Today, Thomas Group continues to evolve its tool set and develop more sophisticated solutions to drive even greater bottom line results. We are helping businesses link strategic processes not only across internal functions, but also across supplier communities and geographies in what has been described as the age of the Boundless Enterprise.
