We can help you perform the side-by-side comparison of capabilities, performance, cost, and other intangible factors in making one of the most important choices your organization will face.

Quality Systems (ISO 9000), Lean Six Sigma Methodology
Setting up the Quality systems early in an organization can help avoid costly and time-consuming errors. Good, up-front design of these systems can also save when the organization pursues ISO certification by avoiding iterations to enable compliance. The following areas below are examples where we may be able to help you reduce costs, streamline your production, and improve overall performance through Operational Systems design and rigorous use of Lean Six Sigma Methodology.

Business Development
MCB can help you develop efficient customer processes, set up a pricing strategy, develop a quotation process, and even meet with potential customers with you or on your behalf.
Iterative business and operational scenarios, including a discussion of the risks, can be provided to assist your organization in fiscal planning. Setting up departmental budgets, managing expenses, and on-going operational support is particularly useful for start-up organizations.
In addition, whether a proposal is for specific equipment acquisition or a full clean room expansion, a comprehensive analysis of the financial, operational, and business aspects can be prepared for management consideration and justification.
Organizational Planning
Successful organizations understand that their employees are the most valuble asset. Managing this asset is often neglected, particularly in technical start-ups where resources are limited, and problems are everywhere you look. Having led organizations of a variety of sizes, capabilities, and structures (hierarchal, matrix, autonomous work cells), MCB can advise on organizational planning, structures, and staffing.
