FREE consultation for the first 3 companies to schedule an appointment!

Every business should be engaged in some form of continuous improvement – you have to. If you don’t, the competition will leave you behind or increasing costs will make you unprofitable. The question is not if, but how you will deal with the need to improve.

My SERVICE and the BENEFITS for you:

I should be able to help you if any of the following are true.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You already know what needs improvement but just don’t have the time.
You are tired of chronic and special cause problems in your processes.
Costs are getting high and profitability is decreasing rapidly.
You don’t want the hassle of hiring another full-time employee.
You are frustrated with problems that are “fixed” but come back.
You feel like the training you have already paid for isn’t paying off.

Let’s partner together to get started on addressing some of the issues you haven’t been able to get to.

I will:

Collaborate and partner with you – no hassle
Do training that is engaging and empowering (I love to teach!)
Help you find simple and cost-effective solutions (no whiz-bang machines)
Help implement (I don’t mind rolling up my sleeves)
Help you take more money home

In other words, if you would like some help…

How can I help you improve, train, or problem solve?

Some areas that might need some work:

Material presentation – are operators walking, moving, and reaching a lot?

Flow & Layout – do some things seem not to flow well?

5s/Visual Management – are parts where they are supposed to be?

Line balance – are people standing around too much? High labor cost/unit?

Quotes:

“It’s the stuff that’s being done when you’re not actually touching the product that costs you the most!”

“Manufacturing is vital to the success of our community and our nation’s economy.”

“We have to keep getting better – even just a little each day. Most people don’t decide to run a marathon, then get a good night’s sleep, drink a couple of Red Bulls in the morning and attempt to run 26.2 miles. Continuous improvement is getting better a fraction of percent every day.”
