Think of us as the "Shark Tank" of consulting;
a supercharged network of improvement sages specializing in world class business excellence techniques.
Our team is loaded with practicing Master Black Belts; not just trainers or theorists.
Most have Master-level degress in business, engineering, etc. and accompanying certifications.
Interview 100 self-acclaimed Black Belts or process improvement experts, ask even a few detailed questions,
and what you'll find are no more than hollow buzz words on a resume. Our team actually lives by the methodology
practicing daily and using or specializing in major optimization systems and techniques including:
Our Master Black Belts walk the path of profitability.
We don't come in and meaninglessly process flow / value stream map the entire organization
or arbitrarily 5S areas and make people tape where the stapler goes on their desk.
A pretty shadow board showing where tools go is nice.
What's better is more frequently used tools closer to the point of use in a way that minimizes
motion, makes work easier, and therefore gains at least a soft cost save.
We transform the current state into a more profitable contained state.
Then we transform the contained state into a more profitable future state.
If any step would result in a less profitable condition or payback period greater than the company's cut off (generally 12 months),
then we don't make the change. Practicing in this manner has allowed us to save literally millions of dollar per year
in the industries below.
Millions of dollars per year have been saved entriprise-wide including the following functions:

I had the pleasure of working with our Master Black Belt at our energy tech firm. There, he created an internal mentorship and training program to teach lean/six sigma concepts. The training was made available to employees spread both horizontally and vertically throughout the organization. Executives, managers, assemblers and receptionists alike were soon finding and eliminating waste within their workday. This divide-and-conquer philosophy in executing the continuous improvement program was not only an incredibly efficient way to find and implement cost savings, but also created a culture of empowerment within our organization. Our MBB encouraged all of his students to use these techniques to add value to the organization, in-turn making them more valuable employees.
