Infosys BPO’s lean, Six Sigma process improvement teams won the first prize at the Six Sigma Case Study Competition conducted by the Indian Statistical Institution (ISI) on February 12 – 13, 2016.
Infosys BPO submitted two entries that competed against 56 entries from several other companies. We won the first prize for a project on ‘reduction of cycle time for background verification process,’ which provided predictable, on-time, onboarding and substantial cost benefits by optimizing the employee allocation process to client accounts.
Infosys BPO's HRD team also presented a lean management case study on ‘reduction of recruitment cycle time for walk-in interviews of freshers’, which received the ‘Best Excellence Case Study’ certificate. This project helped to reduce the recruitment time of walk-in freshers by more than 50%.
