Results, Not Reports

Granite Bay Consulting, Inc. was launched in 1992 to help manufacturing plants become globally competitive through successful implementation of Best Manufacturing Practices.

Don Penkala, president of Granite Bay, has provided cost-effective solutions that have helped manufacturing plants on four continents revitalize their operations and improve productivity and profitability. He has led plant-wide initiatives that have cut manufacturing costs by 20%, quality defects by a third and customer lead times by half -- all while improving employee morale and commitment.

These are some of the characteristics that describe our approach:

COST-EFFECTIVE: Building world-class organizations should not require exhorbitant consulting fees. Our clients have reported that they are pleased with the value they receive for their consulting and training dollar. Bottom line: Our fees are reasonable, our results guaranteed.

RESULTS-ORIENTED: Don's focus is helping you to achieve measurable results. Results are guaranteed because we clarify quantitative objectives up front; we partner with all levels of your organization to ensure plant-wide buy-in; and we continue to work with you, for no additional fee, until the objectives are achieved.

EXPERIENCED: In various management positions with Kraft Foods, Don has implemented numerous plant-wide initiatives that have achieved world-class performance levels. He brings international consulting experience in numerous industries to help you successfully implement Best Practices with plant-wide involvement.

COMMITTED: Granite Bay is totally committed to building the capability and improving the productivity of your organization. Don works hands-on with all organizational levels, personally managing all phases of a project and conducting all workshops.
