Better business decisions by identifying better choices
Our goal is to help companies enhance their competitiveness by thoroughly evaluating their business goals alongside their capabilities. Uniquely, we begin with your business goals by asking important questions to clearly define your specific situation. We assess your organization’s strengths and capacities; we build team commitment to ensure your projects have a long term view. Drawing on our extensive experience and tools, we then explore scenarios combining improvement solutions in process, people and capital assets. This allows us to optimize your returns from investments in time, labor and technology. We believe each business is unique and a customized approach is the most efficient and effective way to achieve your business goals.
All of our services can be used to support new system development, system modification or process improvement needs. We utilize principles of Lean and Six Sigma and are deeply skilled in:
- front-end analysis and system requirements definition that help clients refine and de-risk their business case
- project planning and implementation management
- operational readiness and training coordination services that help clients with the challenges of new process and technology adoption
- organization design and development
We help focus company resources on business objectives by assisting in identifying critical issues and results areas. We then structure plans to achieve your desired endpoints. We build on existing company strengths and enhance your ability to recognize new opportunities and solve problems.
Benefits
The best solutions typically address a combination of opportunities with
people, processes and machinery. We have achieved increased efficiencies,
increased capacity, lower cost of goods, and inventory reduction that
have all been optimally aligned with business goals.
Our primary value is the ability to improve the profitability, productivity,
and effectiveness of your organization.
PCA is a logical alternative to permanent staffing as companies reduce
overhead and streamline operations. We provide management teams with sustaining
skills and systems to improve business results… without adding permanent
overhead cost.
PCA also offers a fresh alternative to the traditional engineering consulting
approach. We adapt our tools and methodologies to fit and enhance those
of the client rather than forcing the customer to adapt to ours.
