TESTIMONIALS3

"Gene and Terry worked with us to develop key operational KPI's that pinpointed areas of opportunity within our supply chain and shipping and distribution operations. At the same time they were instrumental in the design, and build out of our new distribution center that was essential in addressing our amazing market growth and meeting customer demand."

Michael Begley, V.P. Operations, NYX Cosmetics

"Gene led us through the process of developing requirements, selecting vendors and software and assisting in managing the implementation process for a new Warehouse Management System. We improved many warehouse operations during the process. Gene was able to help us achieve a good result despite more than the usual amount of roadblocks which occur on these projects."

Bob Castle, CIO/COO Roland DGA

"Gene and his team have executed numerous projects for Ocean Spray over the years and have provided services in several of our plants. They were very early leaders in helping Ocean Spray apply SCADA, touchscreen, enhanced PLC controls and database technologies on our plant floor. Gene is very concerned about the details of operation and is always striving to help us improve product quality and plant efficiency. Their methods, tools and overall approach from project scope definition through project completion are second to none. I highly recommend Gene and any team he puts together for manufacturing and distribution projects."

Duane Petersen, Plant Engineering and Technical Services Manager, Ocean Spray Cranberries

"Gene and his team helped us with various technology and operations initiatives prior to our acquisition by Valeant Pharmaceuticals. Gene and his team are able to stay focused and get things done despite the many possible corporate distractions which abound in today's fast paced environment. I highly recommend them."

Al Hummel, CEO, Obagi Medical Products

"Gene provided services helping us implement our new corporate driven bar code data collection system. He worked hard to make sure our specific operations fit the technical solution and helped us become more operationally efficient. Gene also conducted training and provided user documentation for our crew, which has been of continuing use as we further optimize our operations.”

  • PerfOps can assess your supply chain operations, including technology, process, the team and how it all comes together to answer your specific challenges. This includes attention to systems/technologies, processes and the team. We not only address the operating efficiencies of supply chain operations, but also as well as the effectiveness, operation sustainability, level of optimization, and resilience to supply chain upsets and the ability of the organization to sustain operations. Our assessments include specific recommendations which can be implemented wholly by you or with our help.

  • PerfOps’ believes that Supply Chain optimization is an ongoing CI (Continuous Improvement) function. PerfOps can drive immediate change and then provide a future optimization roadmap to maintain optimum supply chain performance while developing your team to continue the effort. Where new technology is needed we can recommend, lead selection and implementation and ensure your team is ready to drive forward into continuous improvement.

  • Today’s supply chains operate so quickly that traditional human based methods cannot keep up. Today’s technologies are more agile, more flexible and more resilient. Automation eliminates administrative steps, providing the ability to operate closer to real-time. We can help you find and implement the right technology solution, then optimize and maintain it.

  • Like any other enterprise solution, Supply Chains need a roadmap which drives technology and process solutions that meets the business needs but is appropriate and sustainable for the company. We prefer rapid implementations with defined phases which yield positive results more quickly while reducing user learning curves. Roadmaps ensure sequenced implementations stay true to defined objectives. Our roadmapping techniques are tuned from over 30 years of continuous technology implementations and yet are practical and understandable accounting for operations and human impacts as well and not just technology.

  • PerfOps has adapted our enterprise, manufacturing and distribution technology and operations methods to meet supply chain challenges. PerfOps has adapted our enterprise, manufacturing and distribution technology and operations methods to meet supply chain challenges.

  • Optimized supply chain performance starts with demand planning. Demand Planning, in all its forms, is an area of core competency for PerfOps. PerfOps has the skills and resources to help you develop the optimum demand planning strategy and solution for your business.

  • Sales and Operations Planning is an artful blend of systems, process and human skills. The PerfOps team has the practical knowledge from actually managing S&OP functions as well as from many project implementations. We have started or evolved S&OP functions for many clients and can help you start or improve current methods.

  • PerfOps can develop requirements, drive selection and implementation for transforming your transportation management methods into modern digital solutions. From incremental solutions, such as stand alone load planning, to full TMS, we have the experience to help you fit the right transportation management solution into your business.

  • Our professionals work together because they prefer to and not because they happen to be employed by the same firm. PerfOps is a principled organization and our team members meet a high level of standards.

  • While our teams focus on each project’s goals, our team members must also demonstrate a commitment to achieving long-term results for clients beyond each project’s specific scope.

  • The PerfOps consortium is comprised of highly experienced individuals. Most team members exceed 10 years of continuous skills development in their chosen areas of work.

Solutions are the sum of People + Process + Technology. Any combination of these not in balance leads to sub-optimal results at best.  PerfOps’ methods have been optimized in this regard with the objective of leaving the client team better prepared to maintain and improve the solution for the long term.
