Capacity & throughput
Constraint analysis, line balance, cycle time, bottlenecks, run-rate and capacity recovery.
Operations & Quality
Improve the operating system—not just the KPI.
SharpSigma works on the operating mechanisms behind throughput, quality, variation, scrap, downtime, delivery and cost. The objective is to improve the operating system—not simply the reported metric.
Performance
Find the mechanism behind the metric.
Operational problems rarely belong to one KPI. SharpSigma works from the constraint, failure mode or control weakness backward.
Lean, flow & OEE
Value-stream analysis, waste elimination, cycle-time and throughput improvement, OEE loss reduction, changeover, Kaizen/5S, standard work and operating discipline.
Cost engineering
Should-cost modelling, cost-down, design-for-cost, BOM optimization, supplier benchmarking, total cost of ownership and make-vs-buy economics.
Explore →Quality systems
Quality is produced by the process.
Quality is strongest when risk, evidence and response are designed into the process rather than inspected in afterward.
Quality systems & certification readiness
QMS development and strengthening, IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 readiness, VDA 6.3 preparation, internal audits and launch-quality support.
Explore →FMEA / Control Plan / SPC / MSA
Create and align the core controls that connect risk to process evidence.
Problem solving & corrective action
Containment, root cause, 8D, NCR closure and recurrence prevention.
Useful output improves when the mechanism is understood.
Start with the operating symptom, the evidence you have and the outcome you need. SharpSigma can help find and close the underlying mechanism.
