Practitioners who became a firm.
SharpSigma was built around a simple observation: industrial problems rarely respect organizational boundaries. Solving them requires technical ownership across the interfaces—not advice from the outside.
Industrial problems rarely respect organizational boundaries.
Industrial problems often fall between functions: engineering owns one piece, suppliers another and production another. SharpSigma is structured to work across those interfaces with practitioners who remain responsible for the technical or operational outcome.
When a scope needs additional specialist, supplier or production capability, that support is brought into a defined execution path rather than hidden behind a generic consulting handoff.
Sharp by Design. Sigma by Standard.
Sharp is how the problem is understood: question assumptions, separate symptoms from mechanisms and identify what governs the outcome. Sigma is how the result becomes dependable: define, control, verify and improve.
Understand → Engineer → Execute → Verify → Improve.
Built around the work manufacturers actually need.
SharpSigma treats engineering, quality, electronics/test, manufacturing, operations, cost, automation and AI as connected parts of the industrial system around the product.
Engineering
Product design, DFM/DFA/DFC, reverse engineering, failure recovery, tolerances, tooling and complete technical definition.
Quality
QMS development, APQP/PPAP, PFMEA/Control Plan, internal/supplier audits, capability, launch quality and corrective action.
Electronics & Test
SMT/assembly process design and readiness, ESD/traceability controls, ICT/FCT/ESS, test strategy, MES interfaces and production validation.
Manufacturing & Operations
Greenfield/brownfield facilities, line design, equipment selection, Lean/OEE, capacity, flow, supplier readiness and ramp.
Cost & Industrialization
Should-cost, DFC, BOM optimization, supplier benchmarking, TCO, make-vs-buy and production-system readiness.
Automation
PLC programming/controls, robotics, machine vision, conveyors/material handling, test/MES integration and deterministic workflow automation.
Buy the outcome—not the label.
The buying model describes the outcome. The delivery model describes how SharpSigma works with your team.
Supplied Product
You provide a requirement. SharpSigma manages the production route and supplies the finished requirement with agreed acceptance evidence.
Defined Execution Project
A scoped engineering, quality, facility, cost, operations, test or automation outcome with defined deliverables and completion criteria.
Managed CM Program
Contract-manufacturing strategy, search, qualification, launch, governance and serial-performance management under one program.
Use the ownership the situation requires.
SharpSigma can own a defined technical outcome, lead a workstream, augment an internal team or provide ongoing technical capability where the requirement justifies it. The engagement model follows the problem and the ownership required.
Project
Defined outcome, owner, deliverables, interfaces and completion criteria.
Embedded
Hands-on support working with the responsible team for a defined period, remotely and/or on site as the scope requires.
Fractional
Experienced technical or operational leadership with defined decision support, cadence and accountability—without creating a permanent role.
Integrated
One coordinated engagement when engineering, suppliers, production or operations must move together.
Bring us the challenge.
Start with the situation and the outcome you need. We love it. But if we’re not the right fit, we say no.
