Lean Enterprise – Reducing waste in Business processes

To a certain extent, every Business process generates waste at all level.

Lean methodology provides a way to specify value, line up value-creating actions in the best sequence, conduct these activities without interruption, and perform them more and more effectively with less and less ??? Less human effort, less equipment, less time, and less space ??? while coming closer and closer to providing customers with exactly what they want.

Last but not least Six Sigma is also a philosophy. It outlooks the way you perceive and work within the Business world around you. The Sigma mind set translates to making fewer and fewer mistakes in everything you do from the way to manufacture products to the way you fill out a purchase order. As harmful sources of variations are identified and neutralized, the sigma rating goes up, the process capability improves, and the defects go away.

GAP Europe will provide you assistance to implement Lean Enterprise in your Business and will train your staff to become Experts.

Six Sigma – Reducing Variations in Business Processes

Six Sigma is a powerful statistical measurement which tells you how good your products, services, and processes really are. It allows comparisons to other similar or dissimilar products, services, and processes, and therefore helps you to establish the course and gauge your pace in the race for total customer satisfaction.

Six Sigma is also a Business Strategy that can help you gain a competitive edge. Indeed as you improve the sigma rating of a process, the product quality improves, the costs go down, and naturally the customers become more satisfied.

Last but not least Six Sigma is also a philosophy. It outlooks the way you perceive and work within the Business world around you. The Sigma mind set translates to making fewer and fewer mistakes in everything you do from the way to manufacture products to the way you fill out a purchase order. As harmful sources of variations are identified and neutralized, the sigma rating goes up, the process capability improves, and the defects go away.

GAP EUROPE will provide you assistance to implement Six Sigma across you Business processes, and will train and certify your staff for Yellow belt, Green Belt, and Black Belt.

home > performance techniques > value selling &pricing methodology

Many companies even if they clearly create value for their customers still fail to capture that value in their earnings. The reason is their failure to integrate their value-creating activities with their pricing decisions.

The difference between successful and unsuccessful pricers lies in how they approach the process. Indeed to achieve superior and sustainable profitability, pricing must become an integral part of the strategy, not merely an afterthought.

GAP Europe will propose you several modules reviewing the different pricing methodology and will guide your organization through strategy and tactics of pricing which leads to profitable decision making.

home > engineered products > asphalt binders

ATR+ (Activated tyre rubber +), a product derived from recycled rubber, is a Modifier designed to improve asphalt performances. ATR+ is used either in cold patch and hot mix to reduce the level of noise, cracking and rutting of the roads. It is successfully used for roads in extreme hot and cold temperature environment.

ATR+ is made out of recycled tire rubber and using it is therefore highly positive for the environement.
The benefits of ATR+ are :

• ATR+ offers a way to increase an asphalt binder’s hot temperature performances by increasing the blender binder’s performance grading (PG).


• The use of ATR+ to enhance grades is not reducing the original binder’s low temperature values.


• ATR+ products mix much more easily and quickly that traditional wet process rubbers. They require much lower shear mixing levels and mix to a constant viscosity.


• ATR+ mixing properties are reducing the amount of equipment needed at hot plants versus the asphalt rubber blend products of the wet process.


• ATR+ uses the PG system that traditional asphalt rubber blends can’t.
