A big challenge in today’s era of fast paced competitive environment is to build and sustain business excellence through continuous improvement for consistent profit growth.

RIB has taken sustenance as one of foremost priorities in its RIB Model & HKMS for achieving business excellence making clients retain the improvements carried out and move further

UNGA Group, the largest and oldest manufacturers of FMCG products in Kenya, took this challenge to become a high performance organisation. This high revenue company was running low on profits due to operational inefficiencies. Additionally, non-alignment of routine & improvement activities with organizational objectives and non-alignment of employees at all levels led to just 25 percent execution of its strategies. This is when RIB Consulting, a Gurgaon based Lean Kaizen Management and Strategy consulting firm, became its strategic partner. RIB deployed Hoshin Kanri tool, one of the most powerful tools for strategic management & performance improvement, and eliminated all barriers to the achievement of organisational goals. UNGA’s journey of Hoshin Kanri led to business excellence with double digit increase in the profits. Now, it has a measurable and live performance management system linked with organizational goals and strategies, and up to 75 percent execution of strategies. This is just one of the various success stories defining the

efficiency of services provided by RIB.
