Services

Three ways to engage.
One standard of rigour.

Coraxis offers structured engagement models built around how operational improvement actually works — scoped projects, embedded expertise, and internal capability built to last.

Service 01

DMAIC Project Sprints

A focused, fixed-fee engagement that takes a defined operational problem from baseline to controlled improvement. You know the cost going in and the result coming out.

Start with a Conversation

Who It's For

Organizations with a specific, high-impact operational problem that has resisted internal efforts. Ideal when you need external rigour without a long-term engagement.

What's Included

  • Scoping session and problem framing (Define phase)
  • Current-state process mapping and data collection (Measure)
  • Root cause analysis — fishbone, 5-Why, hypothesis testing (Analyze)
  • Solution design and pilot implementation (Improve)
  • Control plan, SOP updates, and handoff documentation (Control)
  • Final report with baseline vs. results comparison

Typical Results

  • Scrap and defect rate reduction of 40–70%
  • Cycle time and throughput improvements of 20–50%
  • Documented annual cost savings tied to root cause elimination
"Every DMAIC sprint includes a knowledge transfer component — your team understands the method, not just the outcome."
Service 02

Fractional MBB Retainer

The embedded operational excellence leader your organization needs — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Strategic, hands-on, and structured to compound over time.

Explore the Retainer Model

Who It's For

Organizations running multiple improvement initiatives simultaneously or building a continuous improvement culture from scratch — without the overhead of a full-time MBB hire.

What's Included

  • Monthly on-site days (number negotiated at engagement start)
  • Coaching of internal improvement leads and operational managers
  • Quarterly Kaizen event facilitation
  • Metrics dashboard design and monthly performance review
  • Priority access for urgent process escalations
  • Bilingual delivery matched to your team's language

How It Works

  • Month 1–2: Assessment, prioritization, and roadmap development
  • Month 3–6: Active project sprints, coaching, and quick wins
  • Month 6+: Sustained improvement cadence and culture embedding
"The retainer model is designed to make itself unnecessary — the goal is a self-sustaining improvement function inside your organization."

How DMAIC Works

A proven framework.
Applied with rigour.

D

Define

Scope the problem, identify the process, set measurable goals, and align the team on what success looks like.

M

Measure

Collect baseline data, validate the measurement system, and quantify the gap between current and target performance.

A

Analyze

Identify root causes through data analysis, hypothesis testing, and structured problem-solving tools.

I

Improve

Design, pilot, and implement solutions that address validated root causes — not symptoms.

C

Control

Establish controls, update SOPs, train the team, and ensure gains hold after the engagement ends.
