your company need to increase speed, improve quality while
reducing
none-value-added costs?
Is customer satisfaction important to you company's future?
Does
your team want to eliminate the high cost and mega stress of
end-of-the-month scrambling,
fire-fighting, and problem
finger point-ing?
Do
you want to gain control of your day-to-day activities and
create a fun work environment
with a reduced stress level?
Does
everyone want to reach their full growth and earning potential?

Not all of company
improvement activity leads
to bottom-line results. What
is worse, some improvements
do not always add value to
the customer. Some efforts are nothing more
than cost reductions that
create roadblocks to implementation success.
Value stream mapping is the
best method for guiding the
process of
continuous improvements
while
increasing customer value.
The most value in value
stream mapping is being able
to see and understand the
whole value stream process.
Departmental cost reductions
are usually quick fixes
accomplished at the expense
of others and eventually are
lost due to inadequate
process management. Mapping
helps to prioritize kaizen
efforts aimed at making a
bigger impact for customers
satisfaction instead of just
a shotgun approach. Finally,
value stream maps help
everyone agree on the
current state and what their
future state would look like. With this
shared vision, everyone
begins to move forward as a
team and implementations exceed expectations.

Remember,
if you continue to work the same way, you're going to get the same
results. The next move is up to you. We've shown you that
our Manufacturing Assessment,
Gap Analysis, and
Implementation Plan
is as risk free as an offer can come.
How do we get started?
Congratulations,
if you have read this far, you must be seriously considering getting some outside help
in your pursuit of higher
growth and earnings.
A pre-assessment meeting is suggested to assure that there
is mutual understanding and agreement about:
*
The
structure and objective of your program
* The
level of involvement and commitment required
* Team members' roles, expectations and selection
Our preference is to meet with the
Owner/CEO and Operations leader at
the factory site where the proposed project would take place.
A morning "get acquainted" meeting and plant tour is
usually sufficient to cover the above subjects and establish mutual
understanding of project objectives and expectations. If agreement
is reached and the project is approved, a project time schedule is
established.
If the factory site is in Southern California, there
is no charge for this meet-ing. If it is outside Southern California,
we ask that the potential client to budget for travel expenses.
Don't miss out,
Mike's availability is
limited...
