PARTNERSHIPS — Programs & Services
Four ways to work with SVEND. Fractional operational excellence consulting and on-site facilitation, available now. Integration for systems that already hold measurements. A curated network of practitioners. And training programs sold to institutions through Praxis, which go on sale in March 2027.
II — Direct Support & Operational Excellence Services
On-site event facilitation, fractional support, and full-scope system deployment, run to a 100-day plan the plant ends up operating itself. The capabilities, what the work has returned, the day rate, and the project intake form are on the practice’s own page.
III — Training Programs Through Praxis
Training programs built on the SVEND method library are sold to institutions and training providers through SVEND Praxis, which runs as its own system on its own hostname. Programs go on sale in March 2027.
- An institution is created together with the instructors who teach at it
- Curriculum is assigned to that institution, so a learner’s catalog is what the institution was sold rather than everything that exists
- Instructors enrol their own students at their own institution
- Students work through the modules of the curriculum assigned to them
- The content is the SVEND curriculum register — simulations and datasets worked on SVEND’s own tools
| Eligible Organizations | Training providers, universities, corporate L&D, consulting firms |
| Accreditation | ILSSI (International Lean Six Sigma Institute) |
| Sold To | The institution, rather than to individual learners |
| On Sale | March 2027 |

A Praxis program and a SVEND platform subscription are separate purchases, and a learner account in Praxis is separate from an account on the bench. Any arrangement covering platform access for students is agreed in writing as part of the program.
IV — Integration Partners
Nearly every integration reduces to one of two seams. Measurements arrive and become a dataset that remembers where it came from, or a record leaves intact and lands somewhere else. Building those two properly opens a conversation with a whole category of systems instead of one vendor at a time.
- Ingress. A system already holding measurements — a calibration laboratory, a machine monitor, a manufacturing execution system — hands them over, and they arrive carrying their provenance rather than as an anonymous column of numbers.
- Egress. A record leaves whole: a calibration certificate its recipient can check, an analysis carrying its conditions and provenance, a worksheet another tool opens natively.
The worked example is the Digital Calibration Certificate. A laboratory that issues one can have it read rather than retyped, and a calibration performed here is served back as one, validated against the schema published by Germany’s national metrology institute. Neither direction needed a bilateral agreement, because the format is published and anyone may implement it. The format reference →
- Operators already use the product on the floor
- A real seam exists and is cheap to build on both sides
- The two products sell different things
- The integration makes the partner’s product more valuable, rather than only ours
V — The Federation
SVEND is not sold by a software company. It is the analytical engine behind Kjerne Services — a federation of independent manufacturing and operational excellence consulting firms, each running its own brand and its own client relationships. Every method on the bench is one the federation uses on a shop floor before it reaches you.
Kjerne provides the shared infrastructure the firms run on: CRM, financial operations, email automation, lead capture, and the full Forge analytical suite. The same engine that computes a capability study for a federation engagement computes yours — there is no separate consulting build.
Current partners include Front End Efficiency Partners (manufacturing scheduling) and CrossPointe Advisors (operational diligence). Membership is selective — an established client base, domain depth, and a principal who came from the floor.
