Asset Performance Excellence
DMAIC & DFSS
Reliability Engineering
Practitioner-led. Evidence-grounded.
30+ years of manufacturing and reliability engineering — applied directly to your problem. Not a framework sold from a slide deck. Hands-on delivery, structured methods, and the analytical tools to back every recommendation.
Consulting Services
Two practices. One practitioner.
Lean Six Sigma and Asset Performance Excellence address the same underlying problem from two angles — process variation and asset reliability. Both are grounded in structured methodology, hands-on delivery, and evidence rather than assumption.
Lean Six Sigma
Process Improvement & Structured Problem Solving
DMAIC-based investigation and improvement — from single-event root cause analysis to multi-site process optimization. DFSS capability for design-stage problem prevention.
- DMAIC — Define through Control, full cycle delivery
- DFSS — DCOV methodology (Ford-trained), DMADV and IDOV variants
- Root cause analysis — structured investigation, FMEA, FTA, 8D facilitation
- Control plan and FMEA development — AIAG-VDA aligned customer-ready
- MBB coaching — mentoring Green Belts and Black Belts through projects

Asset Performance Excellence
Reliability Engineering & Maintenance Optimization
Reliability-centered strategies, maintenance framework design, and performance analytics — built on evidence from your own asset history, not generic best practice borrowed from another industry.
- Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) — task selection, failure mode analysis
- FMEA / FMECA — asset-level and process-level, ISO 55000 aligned
- Maintenance strategy design — PM optimization, CBM integration
- APE performance frameworks — KPI design, Weibull analysis, MTBF/MTTR
- SAP PM configuration — work order structure, notification codes, reporting

Engagement Model
The 5-D engagement — structured from first conversation to delivery.
Define the problem. Diagnose with evidence. Design the solution. Deploy the change. Deliver verified results. Every engagement follows the same structured arc — scoped to your specific problem, not a generic framework applied uniformly.
D1 – DEFINE
Problem statement, scope, success criteria, and stakeholder alignment. A direct conversation — not a discovery phase billed at day rate.
D2 – DIAGNOSE
Structured investigation: data collection, failure mode analysis, root cause work — grounded in evidence from your operation, not generic best practice.
D3 – DESIGN
Solution architecture — corrective actions, process improvements, reliability strategy — scoped to your assets, your data, your operational constraints.
D4 – DEPLOY
D5 – DELIVER
Handoff: verified results, control plan, documented capability transfer — and the analytical tools to sustain it.
Get in Touch
Start with the problem.
Describe what you’re trying to solve — even if it’s not fully defined yet. The conversation itself usually clarifies which service is the right fit.
