If you have had less than enchanting experiences with consultants in the past, we understand your reservations. Perhaps you got limited results for a hefty price. Perhaps the ideas presented looked better on paper than they did in reality. Perhaps you got cookie-cutter recommendations that were either too big for your operation or too small to be effective. Or perhaps the consultants sent your way had even less real-world experience than you! We've heard all the horror stories. A number of our clients have even called us to "fix the fixes" recommended by other consultants.

You should know that our advisory and counseling services are designed to support you and your unique requirements, whether you are a Fortune 1000, Inc. 500, or a small entrepreneurial firm. You will receive hands-on recommendations from proven practitioners, each of whom has more than 30 years of logistics and supply chain management experience. We know how to integrate the knowledge gained by that experience with the most up-to-date theories and leading-edge practices available. Additionally, we can help you bring our recommendations into reality; our associates are available to assist your staff with implementation through effective coaching and tailored training.

We're with you every step of the way. CATTAN always meets with clients before submitting a proposal, so we have a complete understanding of your plans, goals, strategies, and objectives-from start to finish. If you need help defining these areas, we can help in that regard as well.

Here are some of the types of consulting services we can provide:

• Identify, analyze, and validate the real problem
• Recommend a solution, based on both operational and human resource factors
• Prepare an action plan and assist in implementation
• Analyze software and technology functional system requirements
• Assist in selling your project to higher level management
• Train, develop, and coach your staff to improve successful implementation
• Integrate material and information flow for productivity improvement
• Act as a catalyst for organizational change

Whether you simply need to identify areas where productivity can be improved or whether you require a start-from-scratch cost reduction strategy for your operation, CATTAN can conduct an audit or assessment to show you exactly what's needed. We're experts in targeting the specific obstacles that may be impeding your progress and can recommend a specific course of action to navigate past them. We'll match the type of assistance to your unique situation, whether it is in the form of short-term, periodic, or retainer consulting. Coaching to a successful implementation is also a service we provide.

Let our hands-on approach lead you to successful results!
