Vick, Inc. was founded in 1987 with the sole purpose of helping client companies
produce products better and faster. This is done by employing the techniques of
Shigeo Shingo and the latest technology that makes sense. Some of the technology
employed is very low cost. It is amazing what you can do with a limit switch
that cost around $30.

Vick, Inc. is an independent consultant. From time to time contractors will be
employed on a larger projects but for the most part, the organization consists
of just me. Why? So, I can stay focused on improving your operation as opposed
to having the same problems you have, such as people, accounting, finance,
customers, etc.
Some
organizations are better off by employing a team of consultants to help them
with their desire to "make change." However, many of you out there
don't need the seven digit help. The larger consulting firms take up a lot of
precious time from your organization and much of that effort is fragmented. Most
of the large consulting firms help S&P500 clients. Why? That is their target
and they can afford their bills.
But,
the S&P500 stock market index lags that of the mid-cap and small-cap
indexes. So, why pay seven digit money for bottom of the heap performance?
James
Vick, Inc. can work at the corporate level or he can work at the plant level.
The plant level is where the money is made and typically where the largest
benefits accrue. My career started out as a rough neck in the oil patch. After a
year of that, I worked in the largest CNC factory in the world as a tester,
machinist, inspector, and lab technician. At night I went to school and
graduated after eight years of college. There is little that I have not seen in
the supply chain from the nitty-gritty detail to the strategic planning of it
all.
So,
if you have a manufacturing or supply chain operation that needs improvement, please call or email. The
numbers are on the bottom of each page in this web site. If I am unavailable, I
know of several small consulting firms who do an outstanding job. If you think
the job is too big for one man, call me anyway for an assessment of who you are
going to use and how they will be used.
