How We Help:
Lean and Six Sigma Consulting and Training
From the front office to the shop floor, DVIRC’s team of experts can work with you on any number of business issues to help reduce costs, increase productivity, and empower your team to solve problems and deliver results.
Winning Teams™
The Winning Teams™ program, developed over 10 years of delivering Continuous Improvement training to hundreds of companies, offers a customizable “learn and apply” approach that enhances an organization’s team-based problem-solving skills, combining the technical tools and desired behaviors of Lean, leadership, coaching, and organizational development.
Six Sigma
Our Six Sigma program features the region’s only team of Master Black Belts who work on-site to support and mentor clients from their initial project identification and selection to successful completion.
Lean
For business leaders who are truly invested in transforming their organizations for the better, our customized program, comprised of both technical and soft skills, such as leadership and organizational development, helps leaders dramatically improve operational efficiencies, increase profits, and create a more empowered and engaged culture.
Quality Management
Differentiation is a persistent challenge for small and mid-sized manufacturers. Those seeking to stand apart on the basis of quality—as opposed to racing to the bottom on price—have the opportunity to leverage ISO certification to assure the marketplace of their commitment to customer satisfaction and process excellence.

“When another curve ball was tossed our way, with Covid 19 and in-person on-site instruction halted, DVIRC was able to pivot seamlessly and complete the training virtually. Was a huge help for our team to be able to continue their training to push their projects over the finish line.”

“Green Belt training through DVIRC has aided us in taking a systematic approach to solving our problems. It made it easier to determine the effect of a project on our business. Our Green Belt project has helped the company save four times the investment of training in less than two months. “

“The training I received from DVIRC paid off. We utilized a variety of Lean manufacturing principles, such as 5S. We had very confined spaces, so it was important to have a place for everything and that it could be sustained. During Six Sigma, we learned how to analyze and collect the data in a way that I could maintain my processes indefinitely. This has helped us identify customer pain points and bottlenecks in our processes. It helped us grow our service division tremendously.”

“The Black Belt class is a great experience. You get to network with peers who are experienced and versed in the tools and skills and applications of them. It’s great to talk with other companies who are sharing similar problems and are applying tools in creative ways.”
