Who do we serve?

We target mid to large-sized manufacturing firms in the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan). Some clients have multiple plants, some do not. But they all have a substantial administrative support system. This varies, but typically includes engineering, sales, marketing, communications, customer service, purchasing, materials management, and the like.

Not a manufacturing company; not to worry! We also serve any business that has administration. This creates our ability to cross-pollenate tools and techniques between industries and adds to our value for you.

What problems do they have?

Most organizations seek help due to external pressures. Some of their pressures include:

• Their customers are not happy with the current level of service.
• Their customers want more... for less of course!
• Their competitors are getting faster, leaner and more flexible.
• They have more competitors in the new global marketplace.
• They want to grow, but don't necessarily want to add a similar amount of overhead against the potential profits

Many manufacturers have been making improvements in their manufacturing processes for several years. However, some have now realized the next biggest opportunities are in the office. In a number of companies, the factory improvements have even stalled because of the inefficient processes and policies in the office.

Who is our ideal client?

Clients that benefit from our services most can be described this way:

• They have some external pressure as noted above
• They have a strategic plan for their business
• Individuals throughout their organization have annual goals
• They believe that if you do the right things, and do things right, the results will follow
• They are willing to invest in change that brings positive results.
