About the Company

Operations Management Consultants, Inc. offers consulting and implementation services that facilitate improved business profitability and cash generation. The depth of experience of our staff comes from their individual track records as leaders of change in industry. The experiential backgrounds of all our staff are from Operations and business management, not professional consulting or academia. 

Our experienced staff is knowledgeable in assessing and solving business management needs such as strategic planning, financial management, refinancing, and cash management for growth, cost accounting, and systems development. On the manufactured and distribution side of the business our staff has successfully implemented Lean Manufacturing concepts, TQM, robotics and automation, Theory of Constraints, cellular and team concepts, Kanbans, Integrated Pull and MRP planning systems, SMED concepts, and other Toyota Production System tools in a variety of industries. In addition, we have extensive experience in product design, Design for Manufacture, Value Engineering, and purchasing cost reduction as well as materials management and information systems. All of these tools were applied as needed to support improved productivity and profitability while reducing inventories, cash needs, and response time to the customer. 

We provide expertise and technical solutions to our clients in light of the following bottom line principles: 

  • Focus first on effectiveness, then on efficiency: We first insure that all business solutions are strategically sound. Implementation of any business or operational solution must nurture and enhance the long-term strategy and financial health of the business. Therefore we will create a long-range vision and direction and then support it with short-range implementation and deliverable schedules.
  • Create self-funding projects: We strive to provide a measurable benefit to our customer. If possible we will structure the project so that it will pay for itself as it progresses. In all consulting assignments, an overriding priority is to provide the client with high value - a rapid return on their investment in our services.
  • Provide practical and implementable solutions: Financial and organizational constraints are undeniable factors in inhibiting change in organizations. The consulting solutions we provide must be acceptable within the financial resources available and the culture of the business. 
  • Create organizational ownership in the change: In all steps of the process, we will work alongside the designated change agents of the organization. This process improves communication, change ownership and the project's rate of return. In addition, it allows the in-house change agents an opportunity to gain new leadership and project management skills.
  • Approach every project solution with an open mind: A hammer views every problem as a nail. We endeavor to not be single-minded in our approach. We apply a broad-based, cross-functional approach to problem solving. We use sound business principles and apply the latest business and operational concepts only as the business' needs demand it not necessarily because it is the latest "state-of-the-art" business solution. Our approach is to have our consulting solution fit the problem rather than try to have the implemented actions fit around a pre-determined resolution.
  • Be implementation oriented: Even the best ideas, if not implemented, will not solve the customer's needs. The professional experience of our staff comes from successfully implementing operational solutions in a variety of businesses and industries as organizational leaders. In all projects, we create management measurements and tracking tools to insure timely project completion as well as communicate the current status of the program.
