EMG Consulting Clients

The following are some of the companies for whom EMG partners have provided consulting services over their careers:



The partners of EMG Consulting have delivered a number of significant projects in the Consumer Packaged Goods arena. Starting in the early 1990's we developed leading edge methodologies and approaches to help synchronize the product supply system to consumer / customer demand. We have incorporated into our approach the application of demand analysis and process variation analysis to allow our clients to develop predictable and sustainable manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution process capabilities. These capabilities allow our clients to become "Lean" and "Agile" to minimize costs and increase customer satisfaction.

Some of the Consumer Products clients for whom we have provided services are:

  • Procter & Gamble (various business groups)
  • Gillette (now Procter & Gamble)
  • Gillette

  • Tippmann Pneumatics (paintball guns)
  • The Boppy Company (baby support pillows)

Medical Products Companies

EMG Consulting understands the unique manufacturing and distribution requirements of the medical device and pharmaceutical industry. We know how to ensure that supply chain improvements are properly managed and integrated into the GMP requirements. We know the strict need for materials tracking, for ensuring that process owners are properly certified, and for capturing, controlling, and reporting data.
We have performed a variety of services for clients in this area to include Information Technology Strategies, Lean Manufacturing / Agile Manufacturing, Activity Based Management, Demand Planning, and Supply Chain Synchronization.
We have found that, for the device products in particular, one key to minimizing costs, lowering cycle times, and improving responsiveness to the various buying groups is to determine the appropriate level in the product structure for planning, producing, and storing. For one client which was trying to forecast end items that had over 39,000 possible configurations, we determined that building to a replenishment schedule only about 130 major components, then assembling to order, would satisfy over 80 percent of the end product demand. By making these major components in a set routine, the client was able to free capacity and become much more responsive to the unique, and unpredictable items that customers ordered.

Some of the Medical Products clients for whom the EMG Consulting partners have provided services are:

  • Ethicon Endo-Surgery (a Johnson & Johnson company producing minimally invasive surgery products)
  • ETHICON (a Johnson & Johnson company providing sutures and wound management)

Our Lean Manufacturing services have significantly reduced cycle times for order processing, production, and distribution. By facilitating Six Sigma teams, we have helped our clients identify and eliminate wasteful activities that increased costs and hindered responsiveness.
From an information systems perspective, it is very important to be able to estimate, plan, track, and costs jobs accurately. We have helped several of the large and medium size printing companies select and implement new software and other technology to manage jobs and customer relations better.
