Supplemental Health Care

Our organization has traditionally embraced change and encouraged process improvements where possible so when we were first introduced to Effective Solutions Group our plan was simply to partner with them to map out some processes, memorialize them and assist us with change management. It was quickly evident that their expertise could take us much further than we had initially anticipated. They were able to help us identify and subsequently implement changes that have led us to impact results in the areas of waste reduction, improved process efficiencies and quality improvements. It became evident to us that even with a culture that is committed to consistently evolving and improving, their proficiency in value stream mapping and process improvement would be instrumental in our ongoing success. We are already planning our next few projects with ESG and look forward to blending our culture and their process expertise in order to ensure ongoing success from a steady stream of improvements implemented within our organization.

Praxis Companies, LLC

As with most people I was cautiously optimistic about hiring a consulting firm to assist with our needs in customer service. But, unlike many experiences I have read about, Effective Solutions Group more than delivered on their promises. I was most impressed with their genuine commitment to making sure that their clients succeed in improving. They require 100% participation and fully immerse you in their process. Success is not anecdotal you are able to measure the rise in the level of your competency and confidence in your employees. Our Customer Service department realized 66% increase in productivity without adding additional resources. The one caveat I would add, only contact Karen and Susan if you are 100% dedicated to succeeding, as they will expect nothing less. If you are committed you need to make the call.

Over the past twenty years I have many opportunities to employ Effective Solutions in a wide variety of businesses. The experience that Sue and Karen brought to each assignment resulted in significant improvements in the operations of every company involved. The hands on approach, coupled with excellent interpersonal skills really did result in “effective solutions”.

NeoGenomics Laboratories

When our business decided to transform into a Lean organization, we looked to Effective Solutions to support and guide us through the implementation. Karen and Sue worked with leadership to define our top opportunities, identified an approach, and facilitated and trained our employees through Kaizen events. Effective Solutions is very organized, ask tough questions and hold people accountable to obtain results. In our first year, we completed multiple projects resulting in a Lean facility design, significant cost savings and empowered employees. With Effective Solutions’ mentoring and guidance, we now independently perform Kaizens as we continue the Lean journey. Thank you, Karen and Sue!

Ultron Lift

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.

American Bath Group, LLC

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.

Dancing Deer

Dancing Deer was fast approaching the holiday season, which means high customer demand and short lead times. We recognized that a seasonal work force, manufacturing inefficiencies and a congested layout would be the company’s demise. Effective Solutions group was enlisted to join our organization as interim Plant Manager throughout the season. By developing standardized line layouts, production rates and staffing requirements we were able not only meet the customer demand but also at the same time have one of the company’s most profitable Fulfillment Seasons. Seasonal labor was reduced by 75%, on time delivery was at an all time high of 98%, floor space reduced by 55% and established a 30 man team to handle all non-seasonal work in an eight hour shift.

Karen & Sue worked with us teaching and assisting in establishing tools we were able to continue to use. This experience provided me the skill sets and opportunity to transition into the full time Plant Manager position. I highly recommend their services and know they will cultivate an organization with their great initiative and positive attitude.
