Business
and Management
MTES provides a full range of business and management
assistance to give your company the edge in competing
in today's markets. These encompass such things as
broad business assessments and strategic planning facilitation
down to specific and narrow topics like improving inventory
or accounts receivable turns and developing shop rates.
A partial list of assistance areas is given below.
BUSINESS PLANNING
The Small Business Administration has since its inception,
said that the two primary reasons for business failure
are lack of planning and under-capitalization. While
MTES cannot provide funds for your company, it can and
has provided invaluable assistance in developing strategic,
operational (tactical), marketing and business plans.
This service engages the management team in a series
of facilitated, in-house sessions leading to the development
of the desired outcome and the ability of the management
team to continue the process in the future without
outside assistance.
BUSINESS ASSESSMENT
Do you ever wonder how your business compares with
others in your industry or of the same size and maturity?
Would you like to know what your employees believe
are wasteful or non-value added activities or policies
that inhibit their performance? Would you like some
recommendations to improve the overall company or individual
departmental performance? These and other key ingredients
are included in an assessment of your company and you
will receive a confidential report outlining the findings
and recommendations for improvement. Conducted on-site,
these assessments are normally free for small to medium
sized companies.
NEW
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE
MTES won't design your product, but will assist you
in the product development process. Learn how your
company's process can include concurrent engineering,
design for manufacture/assembly, design to cost and
rapid prototyping. Should you need expert opinions
or laboratory testing of preliminary designs, we can
put you in touch with faculty at state universities
and scientists at federal laboratories.
PROCESS
ANLYSIS AND DESIGN
Whether you are interested in Business Process Re-Engineering
for your entire organization, alignment of system implementation
goals with overall business objectives or simply want
to improve your order entry process, we help our clients
with the full spectrum of process analysis and change
management.
COST
AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Is your financial system giving you the information
you need to manage your business (managerial
accounting) or does it simply fulfill the needs of
your banker and the IRS (financial and tax accounting)?
Do you know what your true product or job costs are?
Are you interested in reducing your working capital
requirements? Do you need to develop a budgeting process?
We can help you understand your financial statements,
assist you with decreasing your cash operating cycle
and get a better handle on your costs.
