"We believe that when a crisis is caused by a technical problem, applying our methodology is the quickest way to arrive at a root cause and solution."​ Our mission: When complex systems fail, the Red X (root cause) is often hidden. Shainin has a passion for finding hidden causes in the fastest possible way. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication (da Vinci): Since 1947, Shainin has developed a highly disciplined process for discovering the Red X. Our system is based on three principles: 1. There is always a Red X that drives the difference between the best and worst performers. 2. Finding and controlling the Red X is key to solving the problem. 3. The most efficient path to the Red X is a convergent progressive search. We continuously refine our existing techniques to improve speed and ease of use; while developing new technology to further extend our capabilities. With offices in Detroit, Munich, Paris and Shanghai, Shainin provides global support for leading companies in Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics and Consumer Products. Our clients rely on Shainin to solve their most challenging technical problems; mitigate risk in new and existing systems; and provide professional development for problem solvers, managers and executives. Shainin has opportunities for individuals with the passion and perseverance to solve challenging puzzles; with the inspiration and creativity to innovate; and with the technical excellence and commitment to teamwork to ensure outstanding results. Together, we make the impossible possible for our clients around the globe.
