Industrial Manufacturing

"IPA was something that our company has needed for a long time. The IPA consultant has made us realize that you can take what you have, add hands on computer software, job descriptions and structured organization to make a small business goal oriented to become a larger more profitable business. She has given us the tools to pursue tasks on an individual basis knowing that we can succeed. We have accomplished a great deal in such a short period of time."

"The IPA consultant has developed what I consider a job costing system that works for our company. In that I mean he has identified our need for simplicity on our small projects, while designing the system with enough capacity to handle our larger more complex projects. All without having to learn and manage two completely separate systems. With our consultants coaching abilities he has empowered my project managers and out entire staff with the necessary tools to establish, track and manage job cost budgets."

Manufacturing

"I recently purchased a 23-year-old company with no operating procedures, complacent management that was growing over 30% per year, but profits were leaking away. Fortunately, I did not give in to my ego and invited IPA to bring in some consultants.

In just six short weeks, I gained a thorough understanding of my business and my employee and my company's strengths and weaknesses. I was empowered and taught how to develop procedures, build a functional organization, implement new problem solving skills, operate customized financial reports, understand what I should expect from my employees, but most of all, training on how to be the president and make a profit. Thank you for sharing your consultants, program and secrets to success. I look forward to seeing the IPA team on my next purchase when we hit the $15-20 million dollar level and need some fine tuning."

His gentle, but persuasive manner of presenting and explaining concepts of business management and efficiency, which were new to us, has resulted in a change of heart and attitude in this small company. My consultant has integrated many changes into our organization in a short period of time, all of which were consistent with optimizing the performance of my company."
