SCHEDULE A CALL
Adapting to new technologies and processes, whether management and operational, has many implications so it is important to have clear delineations around what these implications mean “do” for each individual impacted by them.
From work content to processes and workflows, we work side-by-side with the people in organizations, detailing specific changes to individual job functions, coaching them through new processes, including them as integral players of the change process and ensuring their full understanding and buy-in of the change measures.
This is complete change adoption through rigorous execution.

Client Testimonials

“Universal had crucial influence on our ability to significantly improve Freudenberg revenues, by improving productivity and minimizing the capital requirements of our production locations.”
“UMS is the most powerful management tool a CEO can have - and one whose power actually grows, the longer a company uses it.”
“Universal’s Lean Performance Management System is the most effective management/accountability tool I’ve ever witnessed. It is for this reason that I’ve utilized Universal over and over for the past 5 years.”
“... Universal far exceeded what they indicated they could do. At our recent HQ review the annualized savings realized through November was $26 million and if we continue the programs through the end of 1999 (which we plan to do), the total annualized savings will be $44 million! What is even better is that our employees want to continue the Lean processes and are very positive about our Lean manufacturing culture/mindset! Congratulations to Universal and their consultants for a stupendous, spectacular job.”
