Process Improvement Services at MRA

What have MRA’s process improvement experts done lately? Here is a sampling of projects completed this past year:

  • Assisted a financial services firm with improvements to a monthly investment analysis process, saving more than 40 hours of unnecessary work in a month;
  • Helped a Fortune 1000 company develop an on-line Lean Sigma training course;
  • Facilitated three team-based 5S projects resulting in a six-figure dollar improvement in labor and processing costs at a medium-sized manufacturer;
  • Provided lean tools and team building training to more than fifty process improvement team members at a mid-sized specialty construction services firm in the midst of launching eight projects worth a potential seven-figure cost improvement. 

MRA’s consultants do not believe in a one size fits all solution. We will work with you to achieve the results you seek. Your business is unique, and the solution needs to fit. MRA’s process improvement consultants each have more than 20 years of experience in a variety of manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. That breadth of experience provides you with access to consultants who know how to achieve successful outcomes.

Testimonials

“MRA’s Lean expert has been an incredible resource for Baptista's. She has helped us define, refine and document our processes to provide excellent training documents for our people—while making us better in the process. Most importantly, though, MRA’s expert resource has done such with patience, grace and a sense of humor which makes working with her a joy.”
