“Wow, I wish we had brought Adonis in years ago! The Value Stream Mapping (VSM) week we just completed was incredibly valuable to our team. Being an entrepreneur who is highly skeptical of consultants and b-school fads, I engaged Adonis with caution. From day one of the planning process Travis proved this was not going to be about fads or a feel-good week. He dug in, quickly understood our business model, and our current challenges. The actual VSM week was an appropriate mix of us learning time tested principals (10%) and digging into our actual business and process (90%). Led by Travis, our team unearthed the root causes of our most significant issues and more importantly committed to address them soon. The success of this week will be determined in the coming months and years; however, I am confident this is one of the best investments Ceterus has ever made.”
“The assistance we received from our associate at Adonis was essential to us taking our institutional project across the finish line. With just months to ‘go-live’, our Adonis’ consultant stepped right into the project and was up to speed and making critical contributions from her first day on the job and that continued day-in and day-out through the rest of the engagement. The consultant brought every bit of her significant professional experience to bear, whenever and wherever she was needed. More than once, senior members of the Adonis Team came together to help me and my team address some project-related issue or another. Throughout our time working together, we had confidence in our Adonis partners, and were certain that they had our backs.”
“Aviat worked with Adonis Partners to implement an in house Lean Six Sigma program from the ground up. We could not have chosen a better group to work with and we started to deliver tangible results within the first 6 months of launch.”
“Based on an earlier experience with one of the Adonis Partners, I brought them in for a Design of Experiments training course. Their quick response, solid product, and outstanding delivery made it a borderline religious experience for some members of my team (according to them). For the data-driven people out there . . . Adonis’ Net Promoter Score for the course was 100% at 65% response rate.”
“Working with Adonis Partners over the last few months on a Project within our Sales department has been one of the most successful projects I have ever worked on at Vicwest. Travis and Ron are true professionals that quickly integrated to our company philosophies and worked with us to develop plans, changes and strategies that we could continue to move forward with and build on in the future. Adonis Partners backgrounds, knowledge and insight proved them to be real value-added players within our business.”
I have leveraged Lean Six Sigma for the past 11 years, and of all the talent I have had the opportunity to work with, Travis Ratnam rises to the top. He has consistently identified and recruited strong talent to his organization and delivers service with a focus on quality and value. Adonis Partners are true believers in delivering sustainable business results through the development of talent. Their passion for talent development is evident in their teaching style which leads to strong engagement from those they work with. I have received input from leaders at all levels in the organization that Adonis are among most effective coaches and trainers they have learned from. I plan to continue to leverage Adonis as an accelerator for business results.”
“Adonis Partners came into to help us resolve a chronic quality issue we were struggling with for over six months. They quickly understood the issues, facilitated getting to primary root causes and helped us correct the main problem in less than two months. Their structured process, data-driven approach, effective people skills (working will all levels of employees from senior management to shop floor associates) and ability to facilitate alignment across different functions was key to our success.”
“Working with Adonis consultants enabled us to create $2M+ of impact as well as identify future opportunities for improvement. They functioned as part of the team, working hand in hand with associates to develop action plans and execution strategies. Overall, an amazing experience and high return on investment, will definitely work with Adonis again in the future.”
This was not a capability that we had in house, and... Adonis bringing those resources to bear for us was super helpful. I would definitely recommend Adonis Partners.
Through our... kaizen events and line balancing efforts, we've improved our labor productivity by 25%, cost of quality loss by over 70%.
Because it was such a success, because we're seeing the engagement increase, we're seeing the efficiency lift. It's a no-brainer to move this across other portfolio companies and just generally recommend Adonis and this experience.
We were able to improve on-time-in-full shipping performance by over 33%. We saw a 7% improvement in our overall equipment effectiveness over the course of the last year.
We have several transition projects that have achieved multi-million dollar savings.
People at Adonis were just different. They weren't like consultants. We found a lot of wasted time and we cut that down, and it saves us a ton of money. I strongly recommend Adonis to come in and work with any group. They really... rolled the sleeves up.
My experience was very positive. It was very engaging... a lot of great discussion... and eye-opening experiences for all the participants. The expected outcome is to at least, at minimum, cut our customer complaints in half.
Our experience working with Adonis Partners was transformative.
We selected Adonis for two primary reasons... their expertise in this area, specifically around waste reduction, and... their hands-on approach. The experience working with Adonis was very good. I felt like we had a partner, someone working with us, not just trying to collect the paycheck and tell us what to do. We're actually part of the process. Our entire team felt that they were working with someone that was part of us and not an outsider.
To other companies who are looking at doing Lean Six Sigma training, I would highly encourage it. It... will help drive engagement of your teams, [and] build their capabilities, which can help with secondary benefits like retention.
