Our experience with Supply Velocity was one of the best values we have ever had from a consulting project. Just as importantly, our team now has the knowledge and process competencies to address other business improvement opportunities going forward." Mike Howard President & CEO ASPEQ Holdings, Inc. 425 Hanley Industrial Court St. Louis, MO 63144 "Supply Velocity, and specifically Cyril Narishkin, were instrumental to helping make waste in our sheet-metal operation more visible. There efforts and training have been an important component of our LEAN initiative, and have contributed to any success we have enjoyed to-date. In particular, our sheet-metal group very much appreciates that they are no longer known as "the bottleneck" in our operations. Rather, they are perceived as customer centric and constantly striving to provide a higher quality product, on time, to their internal customers. Thanks again for the help."
