Ultron Lift
Michael Militello, Owner

We enlisted Effective Solutions Group to address our late deliveries and manufacturing inefficiencies. After Effective Solutions performed an assessment they convinced management that the initial focus should be on a material inventory and replenishment system. I was skeptical at first on the "Lean Philosophy" that ESG was proposing but it became readily apparent that their manufacturing experience, business and financial expertise along with their "hands on" approach was definitely the way to go. Thanks to Effective Solutions Group, things improved rapidly within 6 months our inventory was reduced by $1.5 million, parts shortages were virtually eliminated, deliveries to promises exceeds 95% and lead time was reduced to 5 days vs. 3 weeks from a year ago. Effective Solutions Group can be successful in assisting through the challenging issues all companies face in today's economy. We couldn't have done it without their support.

 

Praxis Companies, LLC
Scott Stonecipher, Co-Owner

My team and I have been involved with The Effective Solutions Group on ten different projects involving areas from customer service, production processes, shipping and warehouse management. Each of those ten projects have resulted in substantial process flow improvements, elimination of waste and layout optimization the company was able to reduce costs and process time as well as an a quicker response to customer demand. In addition, the byproducts of the improvement that were not expected or predicted during the "Kaizen Events" have saved equally as much as the primary intent of the events. Their approach of listening, observing and asking questions, as well as their strong work ethic has assisted in removing all barriers between our team members; creating a trusting exchange. It is that trust that provided the format for change and growth in our company. I can sincerely say that our company's continued success can be attributed to the services provided by Effective Solutions Group.
