Air Academy Associates, a top tier consulting and training firm which emphasizes a Knowledge Based Management business strategy that focuses on variation reduction, defect reduction and business growth, was established in 1990 by Dr. Mark Kiemele and Dr. Steve Schmidt. From training some of the first Black Belts at the Six Sigma Research Institute to introducing some of the more recent innovative techniques in Design for Six Sigma, Air Academy's premier training and consulting has encouraged non-statisticians in industry, government, and the service sector to embrace the philosophy of continuous process improvement.
Air Academy Associates pioneered the use of a Keep It Simple Statistically approach which has been adopted by our clients as they take data and convert it into information and subsequent knowledge which leads to true value stream and process optimization. Our strategy of aiding our clients in quickly reaching self-sustainability with their continuous improvement programs
has allowed us to leverage our team of exceptional consultants to benefit a diverse group of clients.
Our team has developed and introduced innovative training aids such as the Statapult™ Catapult, a device which is used by hundreds of companies and educational institutions worldwide, and our easy-to-use Excel-based software which provides the user with enhanced capability beyond that of MS Excel while still allowing the ease of migration between Excel and other Microsoft products.
Our student participant guides, textbooks, and other training aids, recognized by our peers as some of the best materials available in the market today, have gained us a worldwide reputation for helping organizations on their way to World-Class status.
Today, after almost 20 years of supporting hundreds of companies in meeting their process improvement and financial goals, our by-line remains “Simplify and Perfect Knowledge Acquisition” – a process which we continue to facilitate through our training and consulting services and in the development of new resources like our Lean Six Sigma: A Tools Guide text and SimWare Pro, a software package with 28 simulators designed to aid in learning and practicing the Six Sigma tools.
