Please, see here: In 2005, Caterpillar launched the Caterpillar Production System (CPS) to implement a common enterprise-wide order-to-delivery process to improve safety, quality and velocity, add capacity, and improve cost management. Throughout the company, CPS—along with 6 Sigma—is improving manufacturing efficiencies in Caterpillar’s
global operations.

6 Sigma is foundational to CPS and improving order-to-delivery processes—everything from the time a customer places an order until he or she receives the finished product. The principles followed with 6 Sigma and the alignment process for closing gaps in achieving goals are all leveraged in the execution of CPS processes. CPS focuses on eliminating waste—defined as any activity that consumes resources but creates no value for the customer—in Cat’s processes from order to delivery. Within CPS is the Quality Management process focused on delivering defect-free products and services to customers.
CPS is the common Order-to-Delivery process that was implemented enterprise-wide to achieve people, quality, velocity and cost goals. https://opsmgt.edublogs.org/2013/06/22/analyzing-the-caterpi...
