MSI’s World Class Manufacturing (WCM) program trains managers and employees to implement continuous improvement techniques, reduce energy waste, and enhance productivity by working on real projects from the facility, ensuring immediate cost recovery for the class. 

We partner with manufacturers to deliver customized consulting that drives performance, productivity, and profitability. Whether you’re facing bottlenecks, quality issues, or need a fresh set of eyes to streamline operations, our team brings deep industry experience to every engagement.

MSI partners with ERA Group, a global leader in Cost Intelligence, to help manufacturers across the U.S. uncover savings opportunities, improve supplier performance, and make faster, data-driven financial decisions.

Together, MSI and ERA give manufacturers clarity before commitment — helping you see exactly where inefficiencies exist, which suppliers are underperforming, and how to act with measurable impact.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) helps your team identify and eliminate the true causes of failures, reduce downtime, and prevent recurrence. Through our strategic partnership with  Reliability Center Inc. (RCI), MSI offers two hands-on training options—1-Day Basic Failure Analysis (BFA)  and 3-Day (PROACT® Certification)—for company cohorts.

The Lean Practitioner Certification empowers professionals to master Lean principles, drive process improvements, and inspire continuous excellence within their organization, making them invaluable assets to any business. 

The Certified Industrial Energy Auditor (CIEA) program trains professionals in industrial energy auditing, equipping them with skills to evaluate and improve energy use, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits.
