Strategy and Implementation Consultants in Manufacturing

The Appleby Group team members are more experienced with providing hands on training, coaching, and mentoring and less experienced with providing reports and recommendations for you to struggle with on your own. So be prepared for a high level of engagement as leaders, managers, and associates. Everyone will be invited to participate, teachable methods will be employed, and better results will be enjoyed by all levels of your team.

What We Do

Our players are technical experts in all aspects of Operational Excellence and at the same time very skilled as change agents that have mastered the emotional side of change. Our individual years of experience are matched to your specific needs and the mountains you must climb over to reach that ideal state. Think of us as your Sherpa. We have climbed those mountains many times before. But you need to climb with us to gain the confidence and skills to repeat and sustain in the future.

Technical Consulting

Our team members have honed their skills to such a degree that they immediately recognize what their clients REALLY need and what they are already good at. We embrace the highest level of Operational Excellence skill sets and tools along with the best in class coaching techniques on how to organize, deploy, and use those tools with the resources you have within your organizations. If you can embrace the concept of driving these skills deep within your teams, then you can guarantee long term results, long after we depart.

Private Equity Teams

We have a unique focus aimed at filling a gap that most PE firms face. That is to truly understand the locked in potential of their potential “buys” and how to unlock that potential before they become “sells”. Our ability to quickly see the embedded losses within a company, both hard and soft, comes from years of coaching and mentoring hundreds of different companies. If it’s EVA you are looking to drive, you should consider involving The Appleby Group at the early stages of your acquisitions.

Supply Chain Optimization

2020 pushed everyone's Supply Chains to new levels of turmoil. We can help you to create customer centric value by focusing on improving reliability of your end to end processes. We employ a more agile and responsive approach that compliments today's changing demands. We start by understanding your business need and collaborating with your team to create a current state baseline. Then we align that with key stakeholders to develop a roadmap to overcome identified gaps and then coach or work directly with teams to execute that plan. Some examples of offerings include inventory optimization & PFEP development, scheduling, warehouse optimization, transportation and logistics improvement, value stream mapping for ideal state, planning, sourcing strategies and more.

Leading Change

If you research the failures out there you will see one common root cause, “The inability to manage the people side of change.” The Appleby team members are expert in guiding their clients with another set tools, those needed to optimize the emotional side of improvement. These tools are teachable and should also land deep within your team members just as rational improvement tools should.

We Train. We Coach. We Mentor.

Our past clients can explain their experiences much better than us — ask us for personal references.
