To whom it may concern;

Re; Management Training & Process Mapping ( S.M.A.R.T. Business Consulting )

Tiltran Services and Lizco Sales contracted S.M.A.R.T. Consulting to provide Managers and Supervisors with basic Management skills. When the Management training was complete we contracted them to provide and assist us with Process Mapping.

The outcome of the training was very positive and has created an awareness of the need to train key staff. All of the participants gained valuable tools and knowledge that enabled them to perform more effectively.

Our Management team was struggling with developing Process Mapping. Anselm and Jeff were very effective at assisting us with a Mapping system that identified our gaps. The results of our process mapping allow us to develop new and improved methods of dealing with procedures and operational methods.

Anselm and Jeff are a unique training team that was able to keep the attention of the participants but still manage to make the training interesting and beneficial.

I have no problem recommending S.M.A.R.T. Consulting for your training needs. The training for our company was done exclusively by Anselm and Jeff Almeida.

It is with pleasure that I am able to tell you that we have achieved ISO registration without a single non conformance. The auditor has provided us with a list of only 4 Opportunities for Improvement. He was impressed with the knowledge of all staff and their grasp of the processes that are in place to make our company a world class pool company.

Without everyone's help and without your 'buying into the idea' we would not have achieved the level of success at which we find ourselves. Thank you very much for your efforts and I look forward to our continued improvement in our Quality Management System. We will receive an ISO banner and other promotional materials that we will use in our marketing efforts. As well we now have a schedule of Internal Audits (one per month) for the next year. This will help keep the ISO system in the forefront of our daily efforts. Again...Thanks for your help and participation!

Environmental Engineers Get Efficient

Like ERA, Hetek Solutions helps its clients increase efficiency and reduce costs. It does so by providing energy, water and environmental solutions that detect and eliminate waste. Hetek is an engineering company that's been dedicated to the conservation and efficient use of natural resources for 50 years. It's so dedicated in fact, that according to Director and CEO Wayne Hennigar, "We were so focused and committed to increasing efficiencies for our clients, we were ignoring our own internal processes."

The company decided to seek third party expertise to review its indirect costs and associated processes. It selected ERA, partly due to a previous association with Len Silverstein, ERA's Associate in London, Ontario. Len was well respected for his dedication to service and his network of fellow Associates.

The engagement covered several cost areas. In those that have been reviewed to date, the savings are significant: 35% on courier/freight costs; 26% on office supplies; 18% on telecommunications; and 20% on vehicle leasing.

Len and his industry experts also introduced process improvements, where appropriate: they upgraded Hetek's courier software for faster, easier order processing; they improved reporting on courier services and office supplies to cut administration time; and they suggested a hassle-free service for fleet vehicle maintenance.

Wayne Hennigar is confident of his company's success as it moves into its sixth decade. He said, "ERA helped us through this transition to greater internal efficiencies. The bottom line is improved profits through effective expense control. With assistance from agencies such as ERA, our viability is assured." ERA will continue to provide expertise in all cost areas when required, and is currently reviewing Hetek's WSIB rates.
