Our Lean Six Sigma solutions are scalable to your specific needs.  Whether you are an organization that wants to develop a Lean Six Sigma program in-house, complete with certification and training of your employees; or an organization that wants to execute effective and sustainable process improvement and doesn’t want to learn how to use the tools on your own Edge Process Consulting can scale and tailor programs to meet your specific needs and requirements.

 

We don’t buy into the “financial benefit” model that is often touted in the world of Lean Six Sigma consultancy.  The only financial benefits we will ever claim will be 100% certified by your Chief Financial Officer and Controller.  You won’t hear us claim overinflated and questionable financial returns.
