SCB Associates Ltd

scb associates ltd

SCB Associates were founded in 2007 to provide training and consultancy services in Continuous Improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma, TRIZ and Design of Experiments. Although a relatively new organisation, it is founded on many years of successful experience working in Europe and the US. Our approach is to work closely with our clients during quality improvement initiatives, ensuring alignment with their business priorities and a quick return on their investment. This is achieved through a combination of interactive training and application to client projects. More than 90% of our business is repeat business which we think is a great indication of client satisfaction. We believe that your company’s technical expertise combined with our extensive experience of methodology application is a formidable partnership.
