about Catalyst

Our goal is to demystify Six Sigma for your company and act as a guide in the application of DMAIC. Most companies would like to build this skill set internally and not rely on a consulting firm forever. The collaborative support model we employ has been very successful for companies looking to engage effective project teams and build internal Six Sigma skill.

Six Sigma has been around for a few decades. There are many companies at different stages of implementation. Catalyst recognizes that companies need a customized implementation approach that will work with the company culture and match the level of process improvement maturity that a company is ready for. The right combination of training and support is a critical factor for successful Six Sigma implementation.

Six Sigma is a root cause analysis methodology. Six Sigma can apply to ANY problem for which you don’t know the root cause. That is why Six Sigma has been applied in so many different industries and companies.

Six Sigma uses the DMAIC methodology which is an acronym for:
Define: Identify customer requirements and the problem
Measure: Gather data to measure current performance
Analyze: Determine the root cause of the problem
Improve: Implement a solution and collect data to confirm the improvement
Control: Sustain the improvement
