What We Do
If you are looking to improve your organization’s performance, we can help.
Our primary focus is Management Consulting for small to medium sized businesses.
We have deep expertise across the entire manufacturing value chain: from developing or honing your Strategy; to optimizing your organizational structure; to improving your engineering, quality, materials planning and production processes; to analyzing your metrics and finances; we know how identify opportunities and deliver business results.
At ValueFlo Consulting, we take a holistic view of your manufacturing business and the markets you serve. We will never offer you a ‘cookie cutter’ solution; each engagement is as unique as you are.
In addition to Management Consulting, we also offer a full complement of progressive management techniques and approaches including Lean Training, Value Stream Mapping, 5S, Kaizen Event Planning, Facilitation & Follow-up, Interim Executive Leadership, and Lean Transformation Services.
We Meet You Where You Are Now
We know your business is not sitting still. Every day the work you and your team do is focused on better serving the needs of your customers. You work cross-functionally, plan and complete projects, and use data and facts to make decisions.
And even if you are not an expert in all things related to ‘Continuous Improvement’, you are likely at least familiar with, have considered or used such methods including Lean, Six Sigma, Quality Management Systems or others.
At ValueFlo Consulting, we are not dogmatic in our approaches to improvement. We believe it is important for us to meet you where you are right now.
So if you don’t have consistent processes and systems in place, we can help you create them. And, if you do have them, we will work with what you have in order to make them work better.
If you are experiencing any of the following common business challenges:
Your results are inconsistent, or after initial improvements, results backslide.
Your improvements and changes don’t stick.
Your organization is ineffective, stagnant, overburdened, or disengaged.
You are struggling with problems that seem unsolvable, such as long lead-times, too much Inventory (or not the ‘right’ Inventory at the ‘right’ time), poor profitability, excessive equipment downtime, poor safety performance, high warranty costs or quality concerns.
You Are Not Alone!
The fact is, experts estimate that between 50% and 90% of Business Transformations fail.
You do not have to be a part of that failure rate.
We know how to leverage what you are already doing and identify the things you are missing to get the results your efforts deserve.
Why You Should Work with Us
Wherever you are currently, we have been there.
Maybe you are just getting started and aren’t quite sure what to do first. Or maybe you are well underway, but are not getting the results you hoped for despite doing the ‘right’ things.
At ValueFlo Consulting, we are not your typical ‘consultants’ or ‘academics’. We are Practitioners and Leaders first.
What sets us apart from our competitors is the depth and breadth of our experience. For over three decades we have been applying strategy and progressive business tools, techniques and philosophies in the hands-on applications in the Management of Manufacturing Plants. We have successfully implemented solutions and turned around business performance across several industries and organizations.
The fact is, when it comes to business, experience is much more important than ‘expertise’.
We have experienced the pitfalls that change initiatives face. And while we have won more than we have lost, we are not afraid to acknowledge that we have seen and experienced failure, too.
We learned by doing. You should learn the same way.
However, no one is going to wait thirty years for your organization to develop all the skills required to get the business results you want. To shorten your learning curve you should leverage the experience of practitioners who have ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt’… which is where real expertise comes from.
Even if you have not gotten the results you wanted in the past, ValueFlo Consulting would love to help you quickly develop the skills you need to get the results your efforts deserve.
