Diamond Point Analysis

Helping Banks and Financial Institutions become more efficient

Call us: 641-430-7510

Welcome

We are a company that exposes waste and inefficiencies in both financial institutions and manufacturing operations. Processes outdated and hampered by mistakes, and rework by anyone involved will add time and costs resulting in a significant decrease in total profits!

Helping Banks and Financial Institutions become more efficient is our primary focus.

Banks of all sizes are experiencing shrinking profits. Certainly, a variety of pressures are contributing to any bank’s relevancy in its particular market. Non-banking competitors providing on-line working capital, personal loans, or residential mortgages are forcing local banks to strive for stricter efficiency in all internal operations.

Efficiency

The “How” to increasing efficiency is the Million Dollar concern. The information on this web page specifically addresses the efficiency quotients of Rework and Errors potentially inherent in every internal administrative and operational process.

Quantitative Metrics

Costing out any process requires utilizing formulas that quantitate the rate for completion of each loan, when error-free? Quantitative metrics can be applied to any internal operation: How much time does it take one person to complete one error-free task?

Experience

If it was easy, why aren’t all banks doing it? Instituting efficiency quotients requires training, supervision, and managerial awareness of the best process method for each internal operation.

Costing-Out

Costing-out requires that managers identify which part of a loan progression is slowing the process, how to remedy the operations of that station, and how to motivate staff to be on board to value positive changes. Until the cost is determined for each loan, any process remedy will be as effective as shooting at a target blindfolded.

Meet the principles

Diamond Point Analysis, authored and administered by Jerry Wells and Tom Guerdet is a proven process resolution solution methodology.

It is a revolutionary product designed specifically for the measurement and analysis of office processes. Jerry and Tom use DPA methodology to facilitate visualization through Mapping of the Current State Process.
With their expert analysis and leadership, constrictive wasteful areas within the process are identified and eliminated.

Jerry and Tom teach the managers and staff how to uncover waste, and how to motivate staff to recognize the deleterious effects of waste on profitability: -Current number of days it takes to process a loan -How many loans can be completed with and without rework and waste -How many work hours are involved for processing one loan.
