Our expertise enables us to assess your practices using a broad range of industry standards and models, that can be tailored to your specific industry.

Using a 6-step continuous improvement process and numerous quality tools, we analyze the procedures used in accomplishing subcontracting and purchasing functions. We evaluate the quantitative and qualitative aspects of purchasing results and determine gaps in performance. We establish work teams to accomplish targeted projects to meet higher-level goals based on benchmarked results. 

Calyptus typically works as a facilitator or full team member in the project work, leaving the team leadership role to the client organization.
