Client Comments

"Our site modification team finished the contract ahead of schedule and $2M under budget and achieved outstanding customer quality ratings. They improved customer relations, implemented self-directed work teams and had employees training employees in team skills with the full and enthusiastic support of the UAW Union. Within one year, they were selected as the 'Outstanding Team' of the year in the entire Rockwell organization."

This operation was non-competitive internally and externally in cost, quality, and delivery, and was on the verge of closing. Through redesign, they moved from a failing cost center to a viable profit center, realizing 100% improvements in quality and delivery, reducing costs from 15% above competition to 15% below the competition. They retrained an alienated workforce into multi-skilled work teams and reduced headcount by 15% with full support and involvement of employees and the local union. Today they compete head to head with any outside machine shop, earn high customer ratings and are looking for ways to get even better.

'Rocky' is an environmental testing lab of analytical chemists. By implementing several self-managing mini-labs (under the guidance of The Center) they improved productivity by 50% in the first 18 months, increased profit margins by 20-25%, reduced turn-around time from 28 to 14 days (and in special cases 24 hours) and reduced internal handoffs between departments by 500%. Quality is currently at an all time high.
