I have utilized TECS in multiple manufacturing companies to resolve complex issues. TECS took a hands on approach to succinctly understand the issues, culture challenges and devised straightforward, measurable action plans. They demonstrated effective communication with the employees and management, achieved “buy in” from employees, supervisors and managers from an early stage and TECS tenacity was a key reason for the improvements achieved.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with TECS for 6 years. Introduced through mutual friends, TECS has had a profound impact on helping our management team at Green Applications. TECS quickly understood the entire manufacturing workflow and helped the company in implementing realistic actionable goals. TECS came on board when we were a 150 person company, just as we completed an acquisition of a larger company and began the move from New Jersey into a 200,000 square foot facility in Virginia. Under his guidance we successfully completed both major initiatives which ultimately led to a beneficial private equity deal for the company.  TECS has a rare ability to work throughout an entire company’s organizational structure and teach/encourage/mentor employees of all levels. I would highly recommend the TECS team to any company looking to create better manufacturing efficiency and implement strong manufacturing principles.

Reflecting on what I typically need when picking up the phone to call TECS, two simple words come to mind, “The Truth.”

Transformation is always challenging and I can think of no one with the depth of knowledge and experience of all aspects of manufacturing or supply chain transformation than TECS.

The team quickly and thoughtfully dissects complex issues and provides elegant assessment of the truth, an often times elusive commodity when I faced my most overwhelming operational challenges over the past 15 years.

As we were starting up a brand new large facility for manufacturing construction equipment, we knew that we wanted to establish a positive culture within the facility right from the start.  I worked with TECS, specifically Karl Eberle, very early on in the development of the facility to utilize his experience as another set of eyes and ears outside the organization who could be a trusted advisor.  TECS approach to talking with employees at all levels and developing a rapport with them over the course of a year provided excellent insight into the team dynamics, the culture we were creating, and gaps that needed to be fixed.  Their knowledge, experience, and insight helped me make decisions, some very difficult, to get the facility started up successfully, meeting all critical dates, and launching high quality products with a robust culture focused on teamwork and safety.

“Our company was facing challenges brought on by the need for massive, rapid growth.  We needed outside expertise to help us gut check our decisions and assumptions.  Someone who’d been there, done that.  Someone who could help us create a realistic strategy to accomplish our goals in a way that was actually doable.  TECS was that company.  Working with Karl Eberle and his team helped us make the right decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and above all to get realistic about how we were going to pull it off.”
