More Effective Consulting

Success Stories for More Effective

“Thank you for your contributions in 2006. We accomplished more than I could have asked for!

Our continual improvement of greater than 30 inventory turns, 20% cycle time reduction and increased capacity by 33% were significantly contributed by More Effective Consulting. 90% of our employees were trained in Lean principles and 1/3 were involved in Kaizen events. We now have an internal Lean Champion who was trained by MEC.

MEC also assisted in developing a simulation exercise that will be used for training VS in Lean Principals. I look forward to using More Effective Consulting expertise in years to come to help further develop our most valuable resource (our employees) and improve our overall operating effectiveness."

“More Effective Consulting, and specifically Matt Morrissette, has been in partnership with us for nearly 1.5 years and there is a definite improvement noticed in the manufacturing process. Changeover times have been reduced by nearly 50% on multiple manufacturing lines. Processes that we thought were already Lean were improved even further and production scrap levels have dropped to record lows.

MEC has impressed us with their objectivity and willingness to understand our process before trying to implement change. Matt challenges us to create our own solutions while offering guidance using his breadth of industry knowledge. I would recommend his expertise to any manufacturing company."

“Matt Morrissette worked with our plant to help us drive improvements in our material handling management systems, improve product yields, improve planning and scheduling tools, and implement an improvement process (Lean Manufacturing).

Matt brings with him not just great experience but also brings a high level of energy, great rapport with all levels of the organization, and a creative approach to solving problems. He uses fun and interactive tools to help people better understand the problem and the value of the solution. He is an absolute pleasure to work with – his energy is contagious!"

"I loved your lean simulated workshop. It's terrific. People love participative activities, the "learning by doing" approach; really gets them involved and comprehending the key concepts. I wouldn’t change one thing about your workshop."

Business Manager

Carr Tool Company, Inc.

"The VT/NH HFMA chapter pioneered a joint venture with this group and found it to be a positive experience. The speakers were engaging and professional. Using experiential and dynamic activities, including Lean ED, they introduced new concepts for creating efficiencies within healthcare organizations. Feedback from attendees was very positive."

"I thought it was great! And I'll reinforce what I said.....the people got so "into" the exercise that they wanted to "solve" the problem rather than focus on the tools being demonstrated."

Director of Quality

Exeter Hospital

"It went well. We transferred the Vision Map information to the Value Stream Map format, so we actually had both. Six teams, so quite a bit of mapping was done…. 1,000 people, with electric and acoustic guitars, amps and strings."

Lean Facilitator

“More Effective Consulting assisted the Medical Center in implementing new tools and techniques in performance improvement. Their Vision Map product has been very useful in facilitating team collaboration and identifying wasted steps in work processes.”

“I’ve used your Lean E.D. simulation as a starting point to create my own customized simulation training workshop! We ran the simulation once, then I gave them the lean training. We ran the simulation two more times and each time they improved. On the first run, it took them 52 minutes to complete 50 pages and on the third run they got it down to 20 minutes. All in all, it went very well. Lean E.D. was very helpful.”
