Quality at LMS is entrenched in all aspects of service
delivery. Our organization structure is designed to support
client satisfaction, rigorous measurements, methodologies,
management or the performance tracking processes. We combine
the best in Quality, Processes, People and Infrastructure
to deliver consistent and business-relevant outcomes. Productivity
gains resulting from the quality improvements are shared
with clients.
The team drives Quality through Six Sigma initiatives such
as Green Belt and Black Belt Projects. These ensure Critical
To Quality (CTQs) measures are met, processes are continuously
improved, and variation is tracked and controlled on an on-going
basis. The benefits derived through continuous improvement
and best practices are passed on to our clients.
LMS has developed a number of quality tracking methodologies,
tools, and processes in-house to ensure superior quality
service to clients. The fundamental approach is to assess
and prioritize the opportunities for process improvement,
map the processes to record the defects and continuously
improve the processes. To improve the processes continuously,
a disciplined problem-solving method DMAIC - Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control
is followed. It emphasizes on Variation Tracking, Client
Focus and Wing-to-Wing measurement. The Wing-to-Wing thinking
relies on understanding the customer's process, changing
the metrics system to match customer cycle time, refocusing
on quality projects and changing internal processes to deliver
differentiated services.
LMS Quality Assurance Initiatives
LMS deploys well-defined and mature processes gained
out of years of research and valuable experience in handling
global enterprises. The process model is based on industry
accepted standards and guidelines (Six Sigma, ITIL, ISO,
BS 7799, CobiT).
Some of LMS's Quality Initiatives-
Six
Sigma and LMS
LMS uses Six Sigma as a service delivery and quality
methodology and this is spearheaded by a full-time Black
Belt Six Sigma team. Six Sigma methodologies of Failure Mode
Effect Analysis (FMEA), Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Define
Measure Analyze Improve Control (DMAIC) are used across remote
monitoring and management engagements.
We have incorporated and deployed process improvements from
a score of Green Belt projects. Since this is an ongoing
process, new projects are constantly initiated and completed.
LMS employs FMEA for all processes at our Remote Management
Centre (RMC). FMEA is applied to change management, migration
of mail boxes, incident management, disaster recovery planning
for critical RMC infrastructure, etc.
100% of our RMC Resources are Green Belt aware and 20% are
Green Belt trained.
