One offer
six domains
Business transformation across Design & Engineering, Strategic Purchasing, Hard Machining & Operations, EHS & Sustainability, Quality and Digitalisation — because in industrial companies, these are rarely separate problems. We work across all Six, or focus wherever the leverage is greatest.
Product development &
technical excellence
Designed-in quality and engineering robustness from the start — through Design for Six Sigma, disciplined design rules, proven standards and structured validation. A prevention-first approach, backed by specialist expertise in bearing design, that catches problems before manufacturing begins.
Design for Six Sigma & Reliability
Robust Design, statistical tolerancing, Monte Carlo simulation, Design FMEA and Process FMEA, reliability engineering, and Design for Environmental Performance — catching problems before they become warranty claims.
Warranty Analysis & Field Problem Resolution
Weibull analysis, nonparametric analysis and regression modelling to predict return rates, characterise failure mechanisms and narrow the problem population — then structured workshops to resolve root causes.
Innovation Events
Facilitated workshops using TRIZ, Design Thinking and Lean Experimentation to generate, prioritise and validate disruptive solutions — with measurable outcomes and a clear path to implementation.
Intellectual Property Strategy
End-to-end IP support from prior art searches and patentability assessments to technical drafting and international protection strategies — grounded in real mechanical engineering depth.
Resilient supply chains,
built by design
Building resilient and competitive supply chains through strategic sourcing programmes, supplier scouting and qualification, robust approval processes, and fact-based make-or-buy decisions — with specialist expertise in steel, plastics, and sensorised components.
Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Scouting
Sourcing programmes built around category strategy and market intelligence — identifying and scouting the suppliers who can actually deliver at the specification and volume required.
Supplier Qualification & Approval
Robust, risk-based approval processes — technical, quality and capacity assessment before a supplier ever receives a purchase order, with particular depth in steel, plastics and sensorised components.
Make-or-Buy & Should-Cost Analysis
Fact-based make-or-buy decisions grounded in should-cost modelling and total cost of ownership — not gut feel or legacy sourcing habits.
Operational excellence —
grinding to heat treatment
Deep process know-how in grinding and honing, machine design, heat treatment — particularly induction hardening — and rigorous machine and process validation, with specialist expertise in steel bearing manufacturing, forging and casting processes.
Grinding, Honing & Machine Design
Deep process know-how in precision grinding and honing, and machine design for demanding tolerance and finish requirements — the process disciplines that determine whether a component performs to spec or fails in the field.
Heat Treatment & Induction Hardening
Specialist expertise in heat treatment, with particular depth in induction hardening — process parameters, distortion control and metallurgical validation for case-hardened, high-fatigue-life components.
Machine & Process Validation
Rigorous validation of machines and processes before and during series production, with specialist expertise in steel bearing manufacturing, forging and casting processes.
Lean & Zero Defect Programs
Zero Defect initiatives embedded from design release to final delivery. Lean Production Systems with visual management, kaizen and waste elimination, and DMAIC problem-solving for chronic issues.
Safe, compliant &
sustainable by design
Embedding safe, compliant and sustainable performance through ISO management systems and certification, auditing, EHS governance and risk control, ESG strategy and reporting, carbon-footprint reduction, resource efficiency, circularity and responsible supply-chain practices.
EHS Management Systems & Certification
Design, build and certify robust EHS systems — ISO 14001, 45001 and 50001 — for single sites and complex multi-site schemes, integrated with your existing quality management system rather than run in parallel.
Sustainability & Decarbonisation
ESG strategies linked to business objectives, with practical Net Zero roadmaps across Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3 emissions, aligned with SBTi requirements — plus resource efficiency and circularity built into the same programme.
EHS Governance, Risk & Reporting
EHS governance and risk control, audit-ready ESG data processes, CSRD/ESRS support, and responsible supply-chain practices — turning compliance from a reporting burden into a managed risk.
Strategy to shop floor —
one discipline, rigorously run
Designing and strengthening business-critical processes — from APQP, Management of Change, PPAP, complaints management and auditing to investment requests, opportunity management and other sales processes, and supplier sourcing boards. Expertise includes Quality Management System design and multi-site certification to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100 and IRIS standards, together with advanced problem-solving, Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma.
Strategy & Gap Analysis
A Quality Strategy co-developed with senior management, a company-level Gap & SWOT analysis, and a clear Step-Up Plan. In crisis, we design and lead high-intensity Crash Plans.
Management Systems & Certification
Design, build and certify robust systems — ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100 and IRIS — for single sites and complex multi-site schemes.
Audits & Assessments
Risk-based quality audit portfolios, plus Hidden Factor Assessments that look beyond documentation to leadership behaviour and culture.
Business Process Management
APQP, Management of Change, PPAP/ISIR/FAI, Customer Complaint Management, supplier approval and risk management — defined, deployed and owned.
Product Quality and Complaints Management
Strong experience in managing customer complaints from initial response through effective corrective action and closure, with a structured, transparent, and customer-focused approach. Skilled in leading complex problem-solving activities using 8D, A3, 5 Why, Ishikawa and other root-cause analysis tools, ensuring both effective resolution and prevention of recurrence.
Six Sigma & Advanced Problem-Solving
DMAIC and Design for Six Sigma methodology ownership, deployed by Quality across the business — plus structured advanced problem-solving for chronic, cross-functional issues.
Turning process into platform
Turning defined processes into effective digital workflows through collaboration with providers of highly configurable IT platforms. We design and implement solutions that embed Quality, EHS & Sustainability, and Strategic Purchasing processes into integrated systems — improving governance, traceability, data visibility and execution.
Connected Processes
One flow from enquiry to delivery — not disconnected tools and spreadsheets. Every function sees the same picture, in real time.
Data You Can Trust
Real-time, single-source metrics for faster, better decisions — no more reconciling three versions of the same report.
Less Manual Effort
Automated checks, reporting and anomaly detection, freeing your people for higher-value work instead of data entry.
How we run a digitalisation programme
"Quality data you can trust — real-time, single-source, ready for AI — is the competitive advantage most companies overlook."
Building the capability
that sustains transformation
Transformation stalls without capability. Our training programs are designed not as standalone courses but as levers for organisational change — targeted at the skill gaps that block performance. We begin with a competence assessment, then match content, format and pace to the gaps found.
Quality, EHS & Sustainability
QMS and EHS management systems (ISO 9001, IATF, VDA, ISO 14001/45001/50001), auditing techniques, critical-to-quality processes, FMEA, problem solving (A3, 8D), MSA/SPC and CSRD/ESRS reporting.
Six Sigma & Design for Six Sigma
DMAIC Green Belt and Black Belt, DFSS Green Belt and Black Belt, Lean Six Sigma, Robust Design, Statistical Tolerancing, Monte Carlo Simulation and Reliability Engineering.
Leadership & Executive Coaching
Dedicated coaching for Chief Quality, Technical, Purchasing and Sustainability Officers, plus broader culture programs to build ownership and operational discipline at every level.
Delivered in-person, blended (remote trainer + e-learning), or as pure e-learning modules — depending on participant numbers, topic depth and organisational preference.
