SCMEP uses a strategic, hands-on, partnering approach to help South Carolina companies improve their competitiveness, performance and profitability.
Our Key Principles
- Do what is best for each individual client.
- Quickly identify and leverage improvement opportunities, shortening the “time-to-value” of projects, delivering the most bottom-line savings and/or top-line growth in the shortest time possible.
- Strategically coach clients, providing them the training and tools to work independently instead of becoming consultant dependent.
Our Methodology
1. Analyze
Complete a No Cost One Day Competitiveness Review.
The Competitiveness Review enables us to take a comprehensive look at your business without demanding a lot of your valuable time. We look for the major factors limiting your success in order to identify your most urgent and important needs.
2. Plan
Define a customized action plan for your highest priority improvement areas.
The strategies and solutions we recommend have immediate impact on your results and boost your company to a higher performance level.
3. Implement
Roll up the sleeves and get to work.
No matter what business or technical challenges you’re facing, if you do not have the internal capabilities to take them on, we provide them. SCMEP’s Manufacturing Specialists average more than 20 years of experience, much of it on the factory floor. Plus, we’re able to tap a plentiful supply of outside experts and resources.
4. Review
Measure and verify the results.
We’ll evaluate the success of the project, calculate the impact, and make sure you’re completely satisfied. Then we work with you to outline a strategic and tactical path for future success.
