Create, Distribute, Improve!

Inefficiency can quickly reduce profit margins for manufacturing and distribution businesses. Whether it’s from still using three-part carbon forms or misplacing proof of delivery documents to taking advantage of early pay discounts from your vendors, Workflow Strategies identify inefficiencies, promotes standardization in your back office processes and ultimately increase your bottom line. With our vast experience and knowledge in this industry, let us help you reduce paper processing to increase operational efficiency, customer service and corporate accountability.

Lean Management Techniques

Taking your organization to the next level is not a destination, it is a mindset of continuous improvement.

Many of our consulting techniques and software solutions will require immediate changes to your processes in order to maximize a rapid return on your investment.  Nonetheless, we also spend time focusing on how Lean Management techniques can continue to improve your business processes with a long term approach.

Small incremental changes in processes can improve efficiency and quality just as effectively as a big overhauls.  We understand the impact of these changes and we work with your organization to create plans for implementing small changes, and evaluating periodically to discover new ways to improve.

Supply Chain Efficiency

The backbone of any great manufacturing and distribution company is a strong supply chain.  Workflow Strategies understands this concept, and we know how to eliminate waste and improve your supply chain processes with technology.

Our business automation platform eliminates manual processing, speeding the vendor review and selection process. By allowing users to manage related information across the supply chain, our platform enables benchmarking activities that strengthen the entire process with increased speed and accuracy. We also offer online self-service user portals, providing vendors with instant access to needed information like order forms, records of previous transactions and images of shipping labels. With one place for vendors to find everything they need, employees have more time to focus on strengthening important vendor relationships.

In the words of Paul Meyer, “Productivity is never an accident.  It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and a focused effort.”  We fully believe in this philosophy and are committed to increasing efficiencies and decreasing costs departmentally.
