- Theory of Constraints – Every business is held back by constraints. Whether it is the lack of marketing, a slow process, inventory, or management techniques, Theory of Constraints takes a logical and step-by-step approach to identifying and solving the core problems of a business. Most problems are really just symptoms of a larger core problem and when the core problem is eliminated, 80-90% of the other "problems" disappear.
- Six Sigma – A statistical approach to measuring and improving the efficiency of your company and its processes.
- Lean Processes – Lean is eliminating waste in all areas such as time, processes, policies, or other areas that may be burdening your business. It does not mean running on a skeleton crew with as little inventory as possible.
- Reliability Engineering – Designing a product, service, solution, or process that considers possible problems before the actual production or implementation. By eliminating the defects from the beginning, companies can save time and money by not redesigning or constantly fixing problems that could have been avoided.
