Meliora Partners: ESC's Sister Company

Get Started

Two Companies, One Shared Purpose:

To Leverage Your Greatest Asset

 

ESC’s sister company, Meliora Partners, is a continuous improvement firm that has invested in an experienced team of experts, created an extensive training program, and developed an internal improvement system so that you don’t have to.   Our data-driven, people-centered approach engages your internal experts to create efficient and effective processes that can grow and evolve with your business. The result is improved business processes that increase capacity, enhance margin, and remove organizational risks.

Project Execution

When solving complex problems, making impactful decisions, and fixing broken processes, employing a systematic approach will ensure solutions that address root cause and deliver sustainable outcomes.

Strategy Deployment

Time is a limited resource.  To make the most of any improvement, it is crucial to prioritize properly, act efficiently, and reduce waste and re-work.  Meliora will lead and facilitate strategy deployment sessions to create a roadmap for success.

  • Prioritize improvement needs
  • Create actionable projects with defined metrics and anticipated outcomes
  • Develop resourcing and timing plan

What Our Clients Say

The basis for a good partnership is ethics and results, in that order. Meliora through a refined and deliberate approach will create value through people and process assets, that stick. There is nothing about the approach that Meliora brings that isn’t linked to sustainable process improvement. The Lean essentials/Green/Black Belt training for team members is a life tool. The Triage process is potentially a company saving activity that creates massive improvement in a short window, and long-term coaching of strategic projects deliver lasting results. What’s the catch? A leadership team that will endorse and support this method of improvement process. This isn’t top down, authoritative methods but rather a trustful support of people to deliver results. Leadership endorsements of this process will support the value creation process., and in my experience, I promise results! I am on my third deployment in the manufacturing turn around space and I won’t work with anyone else!"
