Global Productivity Solutions

GPS is a consulting firm in Metro Detroit serving clients in both the private and public sector by navigating their journey toward Operational Excellence. We were founded by a pioneer in Six Sigma and have evolved to become a leader in operations productivity, supply chain optimization and business turnaround. Our team of subject matter experts is comprised of engineers – chemical, industrial and mechanical – with masters and doctorate degrees but who also have business acumen to complement their technical skills and practical experience. Most importantly, GPS consultants have demonstrated their ability to engage people to get sustainable results. We have a diverse client base from small cap companies to Fortune 50 corporations in various industries including food and consumer products, automotive, chemical and other industrial sectors, healthcare, and private equity as well as public sectors at the federal, state and municipal level. WHAT WE DO GPS is the best in the industry at implementing business and process improvement solutions to achieve breakthrough productivity. Our proven model quickly determines baseline business process capability, exposing losses and identifying performance gaps and quantifies the financial opportunity of closing those gaps. We then get to work on the operational improvements to deliver breakthrough results within 90 days and create a self-funding plan to execute the longer-term business improvement strategy. GPS doesn't subscribe to the latest management fads but adapts to our clients' culture, whether we are providing interim resources to create momentum or delivering specific tool training and certification to enhance organizational capability.
