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:

From zero knowledge about auditing, IATF 16949 or ISO 9001, I now have fundamental knowledge about them and will be able to support for internal auditing. Our MBBC instructor was very well experienced.

I had the pleasure of working with our Master Black Belt in a high-tech manufacturing company where formal continuous improvement was a new concept. I was impressed with his ability to translate the concepts and skills needed to start down the path of the discipline in a way that was not only accessible to the employees, but excited them and moved many of them into being active, positive participants. I saw an immediate improvement in overall engagement, which helped in areas well beyond the tactical and functional areas included in the improvement project, itself.

Steve was one of the great managers that I was fortune to work with and from whom I learned many of my improvement techniques. He was my Master Black Belt in 6 Sigma. I contribute much of my success to him for teaching me the first steps along my journey to excellence. His encouragement and leading by example continue to be the guidance for many of my engineering projects. Many great managers and engineers are his students and receive the benefit from his training.
