ICRİ is "the Next Wave of Lean." ICR builds on the foundation of LeanSigma, but moves beyond the factory floor into the supply-chain AND also recaptures the cost trapped in the design.


ICRİ is a patent-pending and copyrighted business process developed in the Aerospace and Silicon Valley high-tech industries. ICR systematically attacks all elements of product cost-of-goods-sold (see COGS chart below) in a methodical 7phased approach. The ICRProcessİ has achieved 10-25% cost reductions in over 150 suppliers to 6 corporations without the public-relations or business continuity risks of outsourcing, eAuctions or off-shoring.

ICRİ is a unique integrated approach to cost reduction from LeanSigma and other approaches:

  • ICRİ fills in the white spaces between silos using a patent-pending software tool.
     

  • Only ICRİ integrates Lean, Six-Sigma, VA/VE, Supply-Chain and eProcurement under one seamless cost reduction umbrella. No single approach can effectively meet all cost reduction goals.
     

  • ICRİ also takes the above practices OUTSIDE the company via a series of collaborative engagements with external suppliers; outsource providers or internal manufacturing operations.
     

  • Only ICRİ simultaneously attacks all five major components of the cost of goods sold (COGS) as shown in the chart below:
