The Center for Excellence in Operations, Inc. (CEO) is a leading global operations management consulting firm specializing in Lean Six Sigma and other strategic improvement initiatives. We differentiate ourselves from our competition by our ability to achieve documented operating and financial results, and transform culture. Our mission is to help clients achieve a sustainable benchmark rate of improvement within 12-18 months. This is typically equivalent to a demonstrated annualized 10X – 50X+ return on their investment. In our twenty years of existence, we have accumulated billions of dollars in documented benefits for our clients. We are experts at adapting strategic improvement initiatives to the specific uniqueness, complexities, and business challenges of our clients’ operating environments. Recently we have created rapid improvement and rapid results best practices called Improvement ExcellenceTM and Scalable Lean Six SigmaTM. These new models target and accelerate the process of improvement based on the philosophy of improving how we improve. Our engagements reach far beyond the improvement tools of Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma, Enabling Technology, and other improvement methodologies. With our deep knowledge and implementation experiences, CEO understands how to translate the philosophy, methodologies, and tools of improvement into millions of dollars in strategic, operating, and financial benefits for our clients.
