Client Snapshot

A leading name in Indian cable and conductor manufacturing

The client operates two large-scale manufacturing facilities producing power cables, speciality cables, and conductors, serving critical sectors including energy, infrastructure, and telecommunications. With thousands of employees across both sites, the organisation recognised the need for a structured, data-driven improvement culture to sustain its competitive position amid escalating operational complexity.

The Challenge

Five hurdles standing between the business and sustainable improvement

01No structured problem-solving methodology across production functions
02No qualified internal improvement pipeline at Green Belt or Black Belt level
03Significant cost leakage with no systematic measurement or root-cause framework
04Siloed operations across two sites with inconsistent practices
05Limited shop-floor buy-in for data-driven decision making
Our Approach

A phased, DMAIC-led capability build

Stat Modeller was engaged as a long-term improvement partner to design and embed a scalable Lean Six Sigma capability framework — combining structured classroom learning, live project coaching, and cross-site knowledge integration.

01

Assess & Design

Custom curriculum designed and mapped to the client's cable manufacturing processes.

02

Train & Coach

Green Belt and Black Belt cohorts trained alongside live, real-plant project execution.

03

Embed & Sustain

Certification, governance, and pipeline expansion embedded as standard practice.

Each cohort followed the rigorous DMAIC (Define–Measure–Analyse–Improve–Control) framework, with participants solving actual plant problems under Stat Modeller's expert guidance. Projects were selected for strategic alignment, measurability, and cross-functional impact.

  • Structured mentoring model — BB candidates coached by Stat Modeller's Master Black Belts
  • Improved cross-functional collaboration between quality, production, and engineering teams

Financial Performance

  • ₹35 Crore in validated cost savings realised through certified projects
  • ₹40 Crore in savings actively progressing through the improvement pipeline

  • Structured tollgate reviews ensuring project rigour and financial validation
  • Executive steering committee aligned to improvement goals at both sites
“The Lean Six Sigma journey with Stat Modeller has fundamentally transformed how our teams approach problems. The financial impact has been significant, but the cultural shift — building a pipeline of certified improvement leaders within our own workforce — is what makes this engagement truly strategic.”
