New global standards... LCSI receives Award from PMI for OPM3^tm development support.

Consulting, Seminars and Recruiting for Project/Program Management, Supply Chain and Quality Improvement.

"A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel." (Prov 1:5)

Our “no-nonsense” approach requires only three discrete steps:

Capture the “as-is” current state of a process and develop the “to-be” future state.
Quantify the operational “metrics” and establish internal targets to drive improvements.
Remove old obstacles and develop new procedures for “best-in-class” performance.

By looking beyond narrowly focused "traditional" supply-chain models, we are able to evaluate the impact of quality and development activities on Supply-Chain performance. Planning, sourcing, making, delivering, and return cycles are getting shorter with each new product. Rising expectations of most buyers and sellers in the global community require development of new practices that are more than mere replications of what your competitors are doing. Our record of providing creative solutions to our clients makes us a valuable addition to your Supply-Chain improvement team.
