Enterprise Quality Enhancement
Dramatically improve quality throughout your business with Lean Six Sigma and ISO certification
These powerful tools are the cornerstone of manufacturing excellence. Delivered by experienced manufacturing specialists, this suite includes:
Lean Six Sigma
Having problems with long lead times, poor cash flow, low profitability, increased customer complaints, excessive returns or low first pass yields? Do you spend more time firefighting than improving? Do you lack the hard data to support decision-making or gauge progress? For issues that spring from waste and variation, there’s no better solution than Lean Six Sigma. Designed for small and midsize manufacturers, Lean Six Sigma is a comprehensive business improvement system that combines the speed and flexibility of Lean with the data-driven analytical tools of Six Sigma. It increases precision and reduces variability, driving speed, quality and cost simultaneously across your enterprise.

ISO-9001:2008 / TS 16949
The benefits of ISO certification go well beyond improved quality. Designed for small & midsized manufacturers, typical results include $300,000 to $10 million in sales increases, improved on-time delivery, reduced defects and fewer product returns. ISO-9001:2008 is superior to previous standards because it’s a business system that addresses quality – not a quality system. What results is a more focused and efficient business operation that delivers improved results for the company, for employees and customers.
Internal Quality Audit Services
Having a team of internal auditors can be both time consuming and expensive. Our auditor staff can provide audit planning services and perform your internal audit requirements for your ISO 9001, TS 16949 or other Quality Management System. Our staff of Professional Auditors have extensive audit experience exceeding that of in house auditors. In addition, WMEP auditors continually keep abreast of the latest interpretations of the quality management system standards.
