Improve Quality--And Bottom-Line Results

Materus offers its customers Six Sigma consulting and training, one of the most powerful continuous business improvement methodologies today. By deploying this disciplined approach across your various projects, Materus consistently delivers sustainable process improvements, enhanced efficiencies, and substantial cost reductions.

Specifically, Six Sigma is a fact-based, data-driven philosophy of quality improvement that values defect prevention over defect detection. It drives customer satisfaction and bottom-line results by reducing variation and waste, thereby promoting a competitive advantage. In simple terms, Six Sigma quality performance means no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

Our Six Sigma “black belts” apply the Six Sigma methodology to provide you with swift and accurate root-cause analysis, resulting in effective decision making and definitive corrective actions. These black belts are highly trained in “statistical thinking” and project management, understanding how to define, measure, analyze, improve, and control processes that impact your bottom line.

Six Sigma for service companies—Service industries face a special challenge of meeting customer needs while remaining economically competitive. While automated processes can make an impact, service industries are still labor-intensive, and there can be no substitute for high-quality personal interaction between service employees and customers.
