Operational Excellence
Optimize performance, reduce waste, and build a culture of continuous improvement.
Profitability starts with efficiency—and operational excellence is the foundation. Our Manufacturing Solutions team helps manufacturers streamline processes, improve quality, and enhance productivity through proven continuous improvement methodologies, industry-recognized certifications, and targeted workforce training.
We have guided hundreds of clients in identifying operational gaps, implementing Lean and Six Sigma tools, and creating the systems and skills necessary to thrive in competitive markets.
We’ll meet you where you are—and help you go further.
Lean Enterprise
Build a leaner, more agile operation—customized to your needs.
CEG’s Lean Enterprise services equip your team with practical tools to reduce waste, lower costs, increase throughput, and improve quality. Training is delivered through a combination of workshops and on-site coaching, focused on real opportunities within your operations. We start with a needs assessment to identify key focus areas, then tailor the Lean toolset to your business.
Our offerings include:

Six Sigma Training
Drive precision and reduce variability with data-driven improvement tools.
Once Lean has helped eliminate visible inefficiencies, Six Sigma can further optimize your processes by targeting defects and minimizing variation. CEG’s Manufacturing Solutions offers both Green Belt and Black Belt training, giving your team the analytical tools and structured problem-solving framework to achieve measurable quality improvements.
This approach is ideal for manufacturers looking to move beyond incremental change toward statistically sound, high-impact process control.
Quality Systems & Certifications
Strengthen your systems. Meet customer demands. Open new markets.
Industry certifications are a signal to customers that you are serious about quality, safety, and performance. CEG’s Manufacturing Solutions team assists manufacturers with implementation and auditing of globally recognized standards including:
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, ISO/IEC 17025
- BS ISO 13485 (medical devices)
- AS9100 (aerospace)
- IATF 16949 (automotive)
Whether you’re seeking certification for the first time or upgrading an existing system, we’ll support you through every phase—from gap assessments to full implementation.
Training Within Industry (TWI)
Empower your frontline leaders with skills that improve performance and accountability.
Our TWI programs give supervisors and team leads the tools they need to manage people and processes more effectively. Delivered in a series of 10-hour modules, each course builds essential skills in:
