When one of the worldâs largest lenders discovered that revenues for its Latin American auto financing operations were flat, it embarked on a mission to collect feedback from first-tier customers, in this case, auto dealers. Overwhelmingly, the dealers reported that credit decision response time was the number one issue that the lender needed to improve. A quick initial credit decision keeps the customer from shopping elsewhere, both for a car and for the financing.A team of Six Sigma Black Belts from the lender then began to quantify the effects of slow response time and learned that 40% of credit applications werenât moving past the initial application stage, either because the application was rejected or the customer went elsewhere for financing.
