What can CIRAS do for my company?

CIRAS can provide an ASQ-certified Six Sigma Black Belt to facilitate a team of company members, including management, production workers and office staff, in implementing Six Sigma principles.  Teams learn six sigma concepts, identify top defect categories, discover the underlying root causes of these defects, develop corrective action plans, and implement solutions.  The teams then document the new processes and train those who will use the new methods.
