Practitioners who became a firm.
SharpSigma is built around people who have worked with drawings, suppliers, audits, production lines, quality systems, test processes and manufacturing problems directly. The point is not to admire engineering from the outside—it is to make the result work in reality.
Technical judgment comes from doing the work.
Industrial problems often fall between functions: engineering owns one piece, suppliers another and production another. SharpSigma is structured to work across those interfaces with practitioners who remain responsible for the technical or operational outcome.
When a scope needs additional specialist, supplier or production capability, that support is brought into a defined execution path rather than hidden behind a generic consulting handoff.
Sharp by Design. Sigma by Standard.
Engineering is both discipline and judgment. The sharp side is how the problem is framed, simplified and solved. The sigma side is how the result is controlled, verified and made repeatable.
Understand → Execute → Verify → Improve remains the operating principle behind the work.
Built around the work manufacturers actually need.
SharpSigma's capability mix is deliberately cross-functional: physical engineering, quality, electronics/test, manufacturing, operations, cost and automation are treated as connected parts of the same industrial system.
Engineering
DFM, reverse engineering, failure recovery, tolerances, tooling and technical definition.
Quality
APQP/PPAP, FMEA, Control Plan, audits, capability, quality systems and corrective action.
Electronics & Test
SMT/assembly readiness, ICT/FCT/ESS, test strategy, MES interfaces and production validation.
Manufacturing & Operations
Production systems, capacity, flow, supplier readiness, greenfield/brownfield execution and ramp.
Cost & Industrialization
Should-cost, DFC, make-vs-buy, equipment/process decisions and production-system readiness.
Automation
PLC/controls, robotics, machine vision, material handling plus digital workflow and AI automation.
Three straightforward commercial paths.
The buying model describes the outcome. The delivery model describes how SharpSigma works with your team.
Supplied Product
You provide a requirement. SharpSigma manages the production route and supplies the finished requirement with agreed acceptance evidence.
Defined Execution Project
A scoped engineering, quality, facility, cost, operations, test or automation outcome with defined deliverables and completion criteria.
Managed CM Program
Contract-manufacturing strategy, search, qualification, launch, governance and serial-performance management under one program.
Use the level of support the situation requires.
SharpSigma can lead a defined work package, work inside the responsible team or coordinate a cross-functional execution path. Scope, location, interfaces and decision rights are agreed for the engagement rather than implied by a fixed staffing model.
Project
Defined outcome, owner, deliverables, interfaces and completion criteria.
Embedded
Hands-on support working with the responsible team for a defined period, remotely and/or on site as the scope requires.
Fractional
Experienced technical or operational leadership with defined decision support, cadence and accountability—without creating a permanent role.
Integrated
One coordinated engagement when engineering, suppliers, production or operations must move together.
Easy to talk to. Straight answers. No pitch.
