Chemical Manufacturer: Formula Optimization ///

Reducing production costs by $1.5M annually through Six Sigma and Design of Experiments without quality loss.

Problem Statement

The manufacturer was facing rising input costs but could not reduce ingredients without risking batch failures and non-compliance with strict quality standards.

Strategic Execution

Our team embedded directly into the production labs. We utilized Design of Experiments (DOE) and Six Sigma methodologies to perform a complete formula optimization, identifying non-critical variables that could be adjusted for cost savings.
