Six Sigma for Manufacturers

Work that moves. Lead times that shrink.

Clariflow works alongside your team to find where work gets stuck, fix it using Six Sigma, and make sure the gains hold.

What We Fix

Three problems that cost manufacturers the most

We've seen the same bottlenecks across dozens of shop floors. Here's where we start.

Lead Times That Slip

Orders take longer than they should. Customers notice. Quoting becomes guesswork. We find the constraint and cut it — typically 20–40% in the first engagement.

Work-in-Process Pileup

Parts and jobs stack up between stations. Cash is tied up in inventory that isn't moving. We map the flow and clear the pile.

Rework and Scrap

Defects cost twice — once to make, once to fix. We use measurement and root-cause analysis to stop the problem at its source.

Our Method

DMAIC — a proven path, not a black box

Every engagement follows the Six Sigma DMAIC framework. You'll know exactly where we are and why at every step.

01Define

We scope the problem with your team — no assumptions, no guesswork.

02Measure

We collect real data from your process. Gut feel gets replaced with facts.

03Analyze

Root causes are identified. We show you the evidence, not just the conclusion.

04Improve

Solutions are built and tested with your people — they own the fix from day one.

05Control

We put controls in place so the gains hold after we leave.

Six Sigma Toolkit

We show our work

Every finding is backed by data. Here are two of the tools we use to make the invisible visible.

UCLMeanLCL
Control ChartTracks process output over time. When points fall outside the control limits, something changed — and we find out what.
LSLUSLCpk 1.82
Process Capability (Cpk)Measures how well your process fits within spec. A Cpk below 1.33 means defects are likely. We get it above 1.67.
Our Promise

We work with you, not around you

No black-box deliverables

Every recommendation comes with the data behind it. You'll understand exactly why we're suggesting what we're suggesting.

Your team owns the fix

We train your people as we go. When the engagement ends, the knowledge stays on your floor.

Gains that hold

We don't leave until controls are in place. If a gain slips in the first 90 days, we come back at no charge.
