Initial Assessment: Discover Hidden Opportunities

If you're looking for new ideas for improving Cost Quality and Delivery, Granite Bay provides a cost-effective preliminary on-site assessment. We spend a day or two looking at your operations and understanding your objectives to identify opportunities for increasing plant competitiveness utilizing proven Best Manufacturing Practices.

For example, we showed one plant how to eliminate costly weekend work while increasing output by 4.5% -- with no hiring or capital investment. We helped another to reduce customer lead time by 50% in less than 6 months by creating high-performance manufacturing cells and establishing a continuous improvement system plant-wide. Let us help you find hidden improvement opportunities at your facility.

During the visit, Granite Bay conducts a brief assessment of plant operations, talks to people on the shop floor and identifies some practical, cost-effective improvement opportunties. We then meet with the management team to discuss initial findings and recommendations and conduct a presentation on successful implementation of those Best Manufacturing Practices most relevant to your current situation. We are usually able to determine rough cost savings/profit improvement potential! Finally, we can help you ensure success by assisting with execution or providing guidance while you self-implement.

Managers have told us that they are pleased with the value they receive for their consulting and training dollar. Previous clients include BASF, Benjamin-Moore, Eaton, ExxonMobil, FMC, Lexamar, Medex and U.S. Motors.

If you'd like to become leaner and more competitive while improving employee job satisfaction, give us a call and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. We will ask you to fill out and submit the Operations Scorecard and Initial Information Questionnaire. We will review them and call you to discuss possible dates.
