To help you navigate the site, we've separated our consulting services into seven distinct areas of business:

Lean Enterprise
Sometimes your biggest problem relates to product design, or equipment usage, or maintenance, or process problems, or ...fill in the blank.  Heck, you can't pick up an industry publication these days without hearing about ways to become lean and mean, shortening the production cycle, and minimizing wastes.  All of these methods are central to the principles of Lean Enterprise, and umbrella of practices and techniques that, when implemented, will have you discovering profits that you never knew existed.  Want to learn more about how Lean can benefit your company?  Check out the technical assistance provided by our crack staff of engineers and consultants.

Process Improvement Assistance
NEPIRC has designed several innovative approaches to helping your company identify and resolve the root cause of production inefficiencies, thus reducing throughput times, lead times and production wastes. NEPIRC’s staff of experts can perform time and performance studies, team meetings, data analyses, process mapping and other technical analyses to help your company bolster its productivity while also improving employee morale, customer satisfaction, product quality and workplace safety. NEPIRC’s flexible scheduling allows our Engineers to be at your facility when you need them and at a frequency that allows them to address your most pressing needs in a timely manner without otherwise impinging upon production.

Business Growth
Companies face issues today that transcend shop floor productivity problems.  You want to develop new markets, increase sales, strategically plan for the future, and get a bead on product costs too.  Capital and technological investments are required to make most high-impact improvements in processes. This can put a significant financial strain on your company.  NEPIRC recognizes this painful fact, and has a variety of resources such as low-interest loans public sector partners that can provide
you with relief. To respond to our mission of being a total solution provider for manufacturers, NEPIRC provides talent that can help you with these non-production related challenges as well.

ISO & Quality Improvement
High product quality no longer separates you from the pack of competitors that you have.  It is expected in everything you do.  If you don't have exceptional product quality, prepare for extinction.  Part of the quality demand is to have a quality system that ensures product performance, be it ISO 9000 or another TQM (total quality management) tool. NEPIRC will help you develop and document that system.

e-Business & IT
Computers will play an increasing role in your business in the years ahead, regardless of what business you're in.  Suppliers are going online, customers want convenience in purchasing over the Internet, and companies are managing their entire material planning requirements with modern ERP systems.  NEPIRC will help you assess and implement the technology that you need to gain the competitive edge.

Human Resources
More and more companies need to concentrate on their Human Resource needs. Employees can be a company’s greatest asset and a decisive competitive advantage; what is their level of job knowledge . . . is it specific to your company and it’s needs; how well do you do at obtaining and retaining the best employees . . . or do they leave to work for the competition; do you have a work environment that offers challenge, personal growth, and qualities that keep employees motivated? Whether or not your company utilizes the best human resource practices to the fullest extent possible can either make your staff an asset or a deficit to the company. Getting expert advise on your employment practices is always a good investment.

Workforce/Training
