Why Choose EMS?
"EMS has been an excellent partner in our Lean Manufacturing Journey, providing both insight and support. Matching their approach to our goals, they have supported our Assessment, Training, and initial Lean Activities. EMS delivered a sustainable program, teaching our team the needed skills to make continuous improvement part of our culture. I highly recommend Darren Dolcemascolo and EMS Consulting Group." - Dave Mowry, Former President of Worldwide Neurovascular, ev3 Inc. (now Chief Operating Officer, Tornier, Inc.)
"(EMS Consulting Group Sr. Partner) Darren Dolcemascolo did a great
job helping us develop and execute a plan to integrate Lean
Manufacturing / Operational Excellence into our culture. He worked
extremely well with Gen-Probe team, training people from multiple
sites around the globe in Lean Tools and Techniques, and was
instrumental in ensuring that we had the skills to move forward on
our own. I would highly recommend him to an organization who needs a
Lean educator and coach.” - Jorgine Ellerbrock, Sr. Vice President,
Operations, Gen-Probe Incorporated
"I’ve used EMS to implement Lean concepts at two different companies
and they have always provided exceptional service. They supported my
companies by conducting Lean evaluations, train-the-trainer, general
employee training, implementation of 5s, and facilitating Kaizen
events (both manufacturing and service). What makes them unique is
that they are willing to tailor their Lean approach and material to
any company or situation. It’s not your typical “canned-Lean
presentation” and, unlike several Lean consultants, they do not
pressure for additional work. EMS will only provide the services
that you need to be successful. They have never disappointed to
provide results." - Kermit Stott, Sr. Vice President, Operations,
Alphatec Spine -
