I love to work with manufacturing and service companies to solve their problems and make them more profitable. I do this by helping them identify and eliminate waste and variation in their processes. My clients see large improvements in productivity, efficiency, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction.
The techniques are very basic and simple for employees to understand. I have them concentrate on identifying and eliminating the 7 forms of waste and reducing process variation due to the 6Ms, i.e., Man, Machine, Material, Method, Measurement, and Mother Nature.
My clients, all over the world, have achieved outstanding results which can be seen by looking at some of the projects listed below.
If you have a need, or just want to discuss some possibilities, please give me a call at 330.307.7995 or you can send me an email at jim@jlodom.com.
On a personal note, my wife and I like to travel and enjoy visiting our four beautiful granddaughters in Indianapolis and Columbia, MO.
