"Broke through a list of past-due shipments"
“Art helped a business break through a list of past due shipments and a long lead time for new products. Art observed the operation and identified the potential causes of both problems. He mobilized a cross-functional problem-solving team that very quickly confirmed the obstacles and implemented corrective action. Past dues were practically eliminated, and the business saw a significant reduction in lead times for new work. Art is really good at identifying workflow issues and getting the folks actually doing the work enthusiastically involved and buying into a fix. He has demonstrated on numerous occasions a real ability to expeditiously upgrade process and make an immediate, positive impact on the bottom line.”

"Increased the number of daily shipments"
“We needed to increase the number of daily shipments to catch up to a spike in orders in a distribution business we just acquired. Our commitment is to next day shipment. Art helped us solve this issue. In two weeks, Art and our team shipped the backlog and increased daily shipment capacity by 50% from 300 to 450 orders per day. While production continued to run during the day, Art engaged the team to design and reconstruct the packing and shipping area on off hours. They designed the areas to fit the operators, utilizing every inch of space, locating the many box sizes and packing materials within reach. Art taught the team how to save every second and make each solution easily workable for the operators. We saved the overtime costs, kept current on shipments, and added capacity.”
