Who
We Serve
Do
any of these scenarios fit your
situation?
You've
implemented a variety of change/improvement
programs over the years with varying degrees of
success. Maybe a Lean campaign isn't
delivering what was expected, a Quality initiative
is failing or an Incentive program isn't generating
excitement -- or results.
Your
management team is committed to improving operating
performance, but you're having difficulty
bringing the entire organization on board. Maybe
there is a "disconnect" between management's
objectives and the day-to-day focus on the plant
floor.
Your customers
are demanding lower costs, faster delivery and
better quality and you need a strategy for
engaging the entire organization quickly - and
without a lot of hype, buzzwords and
flavor-of-the-month rhetoric that is wearing thin,
even for managers.
Or maybe you
are already an industry leader with a history of
successful improvement efforts. You have a
capable and committed work force and are looking
for some fresh ideas to sustain the gains and drive
continuous improvement to a higher
level.
If
you can relate to any of these situations, then
we'd like to talk to
you!
Granite
Bay offers practical, results-oriented training and
support for manufacturing plants
world-wide
Our clients
come from a wide variety of industries. From
high-tech processing plants to labor-intensive
assembly operations, our client base is broad. We
help both union and non-union plants, as well as
greenfield and brownfield sites.
Our clients
are big and small. Most of our clients tend to
be plants with between 50 and 500 employees. But we
have worked with a single department or an entire
facility of 3,500 associates. We help single-shift
facilities or continuous operations that run
24/7.
Our clients
span the globe. We've helped plants in the
Americas, Asia, Australia and the Middle East and
have conducted training workshops
world-wide.
Whatever their
situation, the commonality in all our clients is a
desire to become more
productive and profitable by successfully adopting
Best Manufacturing Practices in partnership with
their associates.
Our
Services Are Not for Everyone
Granite Bay does
not try to be all things to all people. We prefer
to remain small and select clients with whom we
feel we can achieve excellent results relatively
quickly. We are not interested in long-term,
multi-year engagements - and neither are our
clients.
Clients that are
most likely to succeed working with us share some
common traits:
They truly
value their people. While everyone agrees this
is important, we try to identify those who are
receptive to ideas from their people and willing to
invest in them through improving communication,
training, leadership and "walking the
talk."
They are
involved. Our clients know that achieving a
world-class operation is a responsibility that
cannot be outsourced. While an outside expert can
help guide efforts, our clients are willing - like
us - to work hands-on with their people, be visible
in the plant and show humility when
warranted.
They have a
continuous improvement mindset. All of our
clients recognize that they are on a never-ending
journey and that there is no "magic pill" that
will solve all problems and guarantee world-class
status. World-class manufacturing requires hard
work, a team spirit, common sense and continuous
training and development to be
sustainable.
They love what
they do. Enthusiasm and dedication are
contagious. We've seen that managers can achieve
amazing results when they bring a positive,
high-energy approach to their work. We like to work
with clients who are excited about improving
operations and developing their people - and who
love their work as much as we do.
If this sounds
like you, we'd like to talk. We may be able to
help you improve plant competitiveness quickly and
cost-effectively.
