What separates us from other lean consulting and training organizations is that we provide our clients with exactly what they need to be successful. We're not interested in becoming permanent fixtures at our clients' facilities; we're interested in helping our clients become self-sufficient lean organizations.
We've based our entire business on creating value for you. Every proposal you receive from us will focus on the value we will create for your organization and the return you will receive on your investment. Our projects are always based on measurable, mutually agreed upon objectives. Most consulting firms fall into two categories:
Very large firms that send out inexperienced, recent college graduates to solve your organization s problems using one-size-fits-all methodologies.
Small firms consisting of part-time consultants, who are either from academia or are retired.
EMS Consulting Group consists of full-time lean consultants with industry-diverse experience. While we do use industry proven lean manufacturing principles and methodologies, we tailor these to fit your organization s specific needs. A unique combination of manufacturing experience, business and financial expertise, and a "hands-on" approach creates a recipe for our clients' success. We not only identify and prioritize opportunities to add significantly to your bottom line; we develop and help our clients implement a plan for exploiting those opportunities to achieve financially measurable success.
