Rapidly Achieve Value-Added Certification
as a Result of Increased Productivity and Profits

The primary focus of 4aBetterBusiness is increasing productivity and supporting the growth of your business. This includes developing employee buy-in to participating and contributing to change, implementing flexible, scalable processes, eliminating issues that waste time and money – and (if desired) achieving certification as a by-product of your improved productivity and profits.

Core Principles that Guide our Work

  • 90% of the issues that waste time and money and produce poor results in a company are embedded in how the company’s processes and interactions work – with the caveat that these often work differently than documented or expected
  • Employees are the world’s experts at knowing what they actually do every day – their local processes

First Time I have seen ISO in a Positive Light 

(raised on-time delivery from 50% to 96% while reducing inventory 22%)

All of this would not have been possible without your help and guidance.  I have told many people that this is the first time where I have seen ISO in a positive light as opposed to just a necessary evil that has to be done.  The fact is that the business, process, and operational changes that were done to bring ICM up to the level of excellence it is today were done because they were the right thing to do, not just to meet some standard.  The neat part is all of these changes for the better also tick all of the boxes needed for the certification.  

              Thanks again!      – Ken Kemerer, COO, ICM Products / CHT
