Weaver Consulting

What Weaver Consulting does

Weaver Consulting, LLC is a private, founder-owned professional services firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The firm operates as a two-person enterprise co-led by Rob Weaver (President) and Tom Weaver (Founder), both former VP-level executives at Wells Fargo and Baxter Healthcare respectively. Its exclusive focus is root cause analysis and Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) training, serving highly regulated industries including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerospace, defense, financial services, food and beverage, and consumer products. The client roster includes enterprise and government organizations such as Apple, Pfizer, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Stryker, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Lockheed Martin, the FAA, and the U.S. Army, with a stated geographic reach across 35 countries.

The company's core product is a proprietary 7-step "Root Cause Investigation for CAPA" methodology that integrates techniques from Six Sigma, 8D, Kaizen, DMAIC, and TQM. Training is delivered through three formats — in-person on-site, virtual live instructor-led, and hybrid combinations — and is supported by a training manual, an Investigation Roadmap, and electronic templates. A complementary public training channel operates through Eventbrite for open-enrollment webinars, providing a lower-friction entry point relative to enterprise engagements. Cited client outcomes include reduction of CAPA backlogs from over 100 to under 25 at one medical device customer.

Weaver Consulting generates revenue through professional services engagements priced on a custom quote basis, with sales driven by enterprise field sales, website quote requests, and discovery calls. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies with group size, delivery format, and organizational requirements. The firm is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment and operates without disclosed financials, subsidiaries, or capital structure complexity.

Emerging players

• GoLeanSixSigma.com: GoLeanSixSigma provides accessible Lean and Six Sigma training (including Yellow/Green/Black Belt) targeting practitioners. It overlaps with the underlying methodologies Weaver teaches but lacks Weaver's CAPA-specific, regulated-industry specialization.
• Excellence Squared: Excellence Squared provides Lean Six Sigma, CAPA, and operational excellence training to regulated industries including medical devices and pharma — a smaller specialist competitor with comparable methodology-driven training offerings.

Broad incumbents

• American Society for Quality (ASQ): ASQ is the broad incumbent in quality training and certification, offering a wide curriculum including root cause analysis, Six Sigma, and CAPA training. It is not a specialist RCA firm but competes for the same enterprise training wallet and was a platform where Weaver's founders speak.
• DuPont Sustainable Solutions: DuPont Sustainable Solutions offers operational risk management, safety, and quality training programs to large industrial and regulated clients — a broad incumbent that competes for enterprise training budgets with deeper resources than a two-person specialist.
• Purdue Online Lean Six Sigma: Purdue University's online Lean Six Sigma programs are a broader, academic-affiliated competitor for the same corporate training and individual certification spend that Weaver's methodology-based courses target.
• BSI Group: BSI is a major standards body and training provider offering ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and quality system training relevant to CAPA — a broader incumbent competing for the same regulated-industry compliance training budget.

Direct peers

• Reliability Center: Reliability Center (TapRooT-adjacent) offers root cause analysis training and reliability engineering services for regulated manufacturing environments, competing for the same quality and operations training budget as Weaver.
• Quality-One: Quality-One delivers quality and operational excellence consulting and training, including root cause analysis and CAPA-focused services, to automotive, medical device, and industrial clients — directly comparable in scope and customer base.
• Sologic: Sologic is a direct competitor offering proprietary root cause analysis methodology and training (Causeline / 5-Why based) for regulated industries. It mirrors Weaver's model of structured, instructor-led RCA training targeting quality, safety, and compliance professionals.
• System Improvements (TapRooT): TapRooT provides a well-known proprietary root cause analysis system, investigation training, and software tools for incident and problem investigation across regulated and high-reliability industries — the closest direct comparable to Weaver's 7-step methodology offering.
