What do we do?

HPS (High Profile Solutions for Business Innovation) founded its Operation Practice to assist clients who are looking for introducing new technologies, moving into a new territory or developing new market segments and/or products.

All of these themes require cost outlays and uncertainty, such as market researches, product testing and new marketing strategies. Even though the risks are high and the payoffs are far larger, they will be inevitable challenges for any successful businesses looking to expand and gain competitive edge.

HPS closely assists companies to make them sure to achieve their aim - including facing costs increase, decrease in sales or number of customers and optimize performance.

Assess the current situation


HPS firmly considers that an ex-ante evaluation of the overall performance of the company is the first step to take into account. In particular, it means quantifying the efficiency and effectiveness of individual past actions, teams or components, and measuring strategic fit of the company for the business environment.
Gaining a clear focus on the status before starting any project, allows making future decisions based on a method that is verifiable and enforceable, rather than assumptions and guesswork.

Isolate the problem


Problem isolation is one of the most important challenges in business renovation. Seeking out root causes of poor performances - of people, procedures or equipment- involves studying processes and strategies within the organization, and engineering parameters to see whether outputs are in line with what was intended or could have been achieved.
Even if it may be time consuming, clearly identify the problems is a fundamental strategy in order to address them effectively.

Analyze the alternatives


Based on the available resources and desired financial returns, HPS assesses the feasibility of each possible alternative solution, identifying the most suitable for your company.
HPS always delivers projects in a cost effective way.

Implement the solution


Once a path for improvement has been chosen, new processes have to be redefined according to new solutions. Then pilot runs to establish process capability have to be set up, to ensure everything works as planned.

Test and control the result


Implementing a control system allows the company ensure itself any future deviation from the target output is corrected before it results in defects or further wastes. Statistical process control, production boards, visual and continuous monitoring the process. The practice of HPS includes also the organization and implementation training on themes relating to new changes in specific topics.
