JASEC Consulting

What JASEC Consulting does

JASEC Consulting is a privately held boutique consultancy founded in 2003 by Ernie Arboles and headquartered in South Pasadena, California. The firm delivers specialized consulting services centered on Lean Six Sigma, process improvement, and operational excellence for middle-market and enterprise clients across technology, financial services, energy, manufacturing, and government. Its service portfolio is organized across five lines: Process Discovery & Process Mining, Analysis (Lean and Six Sigma), Project and Portfolio Management, Facilitation and Coaching, and Training Programs delivered through a 'flipped classroom' model in partnership with GoLeanSixSigma.com. A dedicated coaching subsidiary, Lean Six Sigma Success Coaching, was launched at coaching.jasec.net in 2022 to serve belt candidates, program owners, and C-suite executives.

The underlying technology stack is built on established continuous improvement methodologies rather than proprietary software: Lean, Six Sigma (Yellow through Master Black Belt), 5S, GE Workout, Change Acceleration, Process Mining, Data Mining, and Robotic Process Automation. JASEC's only disclosed proprietary asset is a Business Growth Assessment tool. The firm is an authorized reseller of GoLeanSixSigma.com certification courses (White, Yellow, Green, Black Belt, and Lean) and offers instructor-led training across additional disciplines including Design Thinking, Voice of the Customer, Baldrige Quality, and Balanced Scorecard.

JASEC operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based, undisclosed pricing, multi-year contract structures, and a sales-led go-to-market that combines direct outreach, referral, content marketing via blog and social channels, and partner-sourced leads. Reported cumulative metrics include 23 major clients served, 2,500 client team members trained or coached, and $10 million in client value delivered. The company has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity, operating as a founder-led consultancy with 1-10 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Operations Consulting: Global consulting incumbent with large Operations Excellence and Process Improvement practices; competes with JASEC in the same enterprise procurement for margin-enhancement and process-mining engagements, but typically at much larger program scale.
• McKinsey & Company: Global strategy and operations consultancy whose Operations Practice delivers process improvement, transformation, and capability-building work that overlaps JASEC's enterprise margin-enhancement mandate at the upper end of the same buyer segment.
• Deloitte (Consulting): Big Four advisory with sizable Operations Transformation and Human Capital practices that bundle process improvement with broader enterprise programs; competes for the same enterprise L&D and operational excellence budgets as JASEC.
• Bain & Company: Top-tier strategy and performance-improvement consultancy whose Results Delivery and Operations practices compete directly for the same enterprise transformation and continuous-improvement engagements JASEC targets.

Direct peers

• TBM Consulting Group: Long-standing operational excellence and Lean Six Sigma consultancy serving manufacturers and supply-chain enterprises; overlaps with JASEC on continuous-improvement project work, coaching, and belt training for mid-to-large industrial clients.
• Six Sigma Development Solutions, Inc. Boutique Six Sigma training and certification firm with comparable Yellow/Green/Black Belt curricula and on-site corporate delivery; a peer for shared enterprise L&D wallet share against JASEC's instructor-led training programs.
• MoreSteam: Provider of Lean Six Sigma e-learning (EngineRoom) and project-management training that competes with JASEC's belt-training offerings for the same corporate L&D budgets, with a similar blend of online curriculum and practitioner certification.
• GoLeanSixSigma.com: Premier online Lean Six Sigma training platform offering the same Yellow/Green/Black/Master Black Belt curriculum JASEC resells. Closest comparison as both serve the same enterprise buyer with belt-level certification and project-coaching content, and JASEC is explicitly an authorized reseller and Execution Partner.
• Productivity Inc. Operational excellence consultancy delivering Lean, Six Sigma, and TPM coaching across discrete and process manufacturing; directly comparable to JASEC's project-coaching and value-stream engagement model.

Emerging players

• Resources Connection (RGP): Consulting firm delivering on-demand senior practitioners across finance, operations, and transformation; overlapping with JASEC on enterprise process-improvement and change-management resourcing but at a larger contingent-staffing model.
