Six Sigma is, at its core, a customer-focused quality initiative with a clear and ambitious target: 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Reaching that level of performance isn’t about slogans — it’s about disciplined use of the DMAIC cycle: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. That cycle drives measurable bottom-line results, and it’s the foundation of every engagement CDR Global delivers as a Lean Six Sigma consulting and six sigma consulting provider. Lean Six Sigma combines two complementary philosophies: Lean, which optimizes workflow and removes non-value-added activity, and Six Sigma, which uses statistical analysis to identify and eliminate defects. As a working Lean manufacturing consultant, CDR Global blends both disciplines to streamline operations, improve product quality, and strengthen customer satisfaction in a way that’s sustainable, not a one-time project.
Manufacturing, packaging, and warehouse operations across pharmaceutical, medical device, food, dietary supplement, cosmetic, and homecare product categories that want to reduce defects, cut waste, and build a culture of continuous improvement rather than relying on periodic firefighting.
We don’t run Lean Six Sigma as an academic exercise. Every DMAIC project we lead is tied to a real operational or quality metric your organization already cares about, and we build internal capability along the way so improvement continues long after our engagement ends.
Organizations that commit to Lean Six Sigma as an ongoing discipline — not a single project — consistently report increased productivity, reduced operating costs, enhanced customer satisfaction, and shorter cycle times. It’s one of the highest-return forms of continuous improvement consulting available, because the methodology is designed to keep paying off project after project, not just once.
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control — the structured five-phase methodology at the core of every Six Sigma project, designed to solve problems based on data rather than assumption.
No. Lean Six Sigma principles scale to operations of many sizes. What matters most is a genuine commitment to using data to drive decisions and sustain improvement.
Lean Six Sigma is a specific, structured methodology (DMAIC, statistical analysis, defined belt-level roles) within the broader category of continuous improvement consulting. Many of our clients use Lean Six Sigma as the primary engine for their overall continuous improvement program.
