Our professionals are generally seasoned managers. Many have held a supervisory or manager position for a minimum of 5 - 10 years in their career.

Will the AMS Group Consultants manage our department or operations?

No. We do not mange your business for you. We work with your supervisors and management team in their day to day work environment. Our interaction and coaching is on-the-floor, where the work takes place and at mid-level management where key decisions need to be made to drive operational excellence.

Assessments

How long does the assessment last?

The assessment process lasts approximately 3-5 weeks. Some of the factors that determine the time frame are the size of the operation, number of managers and supervisors and the number of facilities/locations.

What is the charge for the Assessment?

We provide the Assessment at our cost – our experience has shown us the value of The AMS Group AND the client mutually investing in this critical activity.

How much time will be required by my people during the assessment and during a project?

During the assessment, supervisors and managers ARE NOT required to make changes to their daily routines. The AMS Group personnel will be observers in the operation with supervisors as they conduct their day to day activities. Interaction is limited to those conversations, which ensure we are gathering the information to provide a well-rounded perspective on the improvement opportunities and the value potential for us to work together.
