6 Sigma Bank Ltd. Background
Global Finance’s rapid growth strategy has led to some significant issues in being able to meet customers’ requirements. Management studied their markets and found that they have some common issues among the various countries. They also believe that specific issues will apply to some markets. They have determined that cycle time for loans and leases is a key competitive issue in all markets. The critical customer requirement, our CCR, is 8 days world-wide. Our current loan approval process takes an average of 9.2 days. The lease approval process also takes an average of 9.2 days. Our research shows that our competition is meeting the customers’ requirement of 8 days. Also, applicants defecting from the process is costing us $165,000 in unfunded processing costs as well as $2,500,000 in lost revenue per annum.
The president formed a team in support of the CEO’s recently announced goal.
The team’s job is to understand company-wide and local issues in order to reduce cycle time for the loan and lease process.
