Bourke Consulting Associates is a manufacturing consulting and education organization of seasoned consultants with extensive experience in manufacturing systems planning, implementation, and education. We address a full spectrum of strategies, disciplines, and Information Technologies (IT) required to meet the fundamental challenges facing all manufacturing companies: growth, quality, and profitability.

In today's fast-paced, ever accelerating environment, company management expects to use the latest strategies and methods to ensure a strong competitive posture. Expectations for improved performance often strains the existing staff - usually hard pressed to keep up at today's frenetic pace. Manufacturing companies frequently seek the assistance of seasoned professionals who "have been there, done that" - for prompt diagnosis and swift, intelligent identification of specific solutions for a company's situation.

Our approach is to capitalize on the expertise and track records of our consultants to provide the exact mix of experience needed to assist your company in developing tailored and lasting solutions. As appropriate, we can present one consultant or a team of qualified professionals who can address client's specific requirements. For a particular assignment, we present the qualifications of our associate consultants, with their requisite skill sets, to the client for approval before any services are undertaken. Bourke Consulting Associate's teaming strategy ensures clients of timely, high-quality results at reasonable fees.
