(TR Cutler Inc.: Fort Lauderdale, FL) -- TR Cutler Inc.’s president and CEO, Thomas R. Cutler, has devised a new professional coaching system for manufacturers worldwide named C.E.O., or Continuous Experiential Optimization.

“Throughout decades of business process improvement approaches, including total quality system (TQS), quality circles, total quality management (TQM), lean, Six Sigma, and more recently, lean Six Sigma, practitioners and users have suffered the consequences of a missing link. While the concepts, tools, and techniques learned were powerful, the leaders and teams often operated these dynamic practices suboptimally, undermining the intended business results,”  Cutler says.

“It is time to progress from the technique and theory of continuous process improvement to actually making it a practical application. It is time to underscore and utilize the best of the personal intelligence and inherent skill sets of the team members. It is time to optimize personnel with a professional strategy; it is time to realign the entire work effort, product, and outcomes,” he adds.

The training for C.E.O. capitalizes on any former quality training and lean methodologies; it takes current knowledge and utilizes optimized communications tools and resources through experiential learning. This type of learning allows a lean team to leverage best practices knowledge and apply it, experientially, to their work situations. By learning while doing, the manufacturing or industrial team learns as a team to create the intended business results, consciously and quantifiably. Continuous Experiential Optimization will quickly become the new global model for results-oriented, measurable excellence.

Some of the core components of C.E.O. include:

• Lean, Six Sigma, and lean Six Sigma training
• Transactional process improvements
• Newly defined success and the related metrics
• Performance standards based in reality and real metrics
• Leadership development based on the individual and team performance
• Organizational assessments
• Instructional design, development, and delivery
• Curriculum and course development
• Blended learning
• Change management
• Employee surveys
• Assessments and validations

TR Cutler Inc. has assembled some of the most revered thought leaders of lean Six Sigma and professional corporate and executive coach training to bring this new, needed, universal model to the international community. Manufacturing organizations will reap the benefits of early adoption of C.E.O.
