At Clear Point Group, we are experienced in helping aerospace and defense companies make the best use of information to improve their operations. Our consultants assist companies in strategy development, forecasting, management, production efficiency and product timing issues.
The consultants of Clear Point Group are experienced at helping science-based companies reduce product time to market, enhance commercialization efforts, effectively manage personnel and improve logistics. Companies that make gains in these areas successfully handle the cyclical nature of government spending and increase profit margins.
Time to market: Clear Point Group knows that moving from concept to product in science-based companies can take decades. Leaders need to effectively use information and adapt their information systems to speed time to market. Clear Point Group can help you reduce time to market through better application of information systems, improved new product planning and overall process improvements.
Commercialization: Clear Point Group understands that companies must deal with cyclical federal spending. Our experienced consultants can help you develop strategies to maintain continuity of work and growth. We also can help you make wise choices about diversifying inventions to ensure both military and commercial value.
Personnel management: Clear Point Group recognizes that security concerns coupled with increasing system complexity has made personnel management a vital concern. We can help you forecast hiring needs, effectively redeploy human capital, quickly recruit highly trained and specialized employees, and retain a talented workforce.
Manufacturing and Logistics: Clear Point Group appreciates the complexities that aerospace and defense contractors face in the manufacturing and logistics arenas. We can help you maximize your procurement processes, capacity utilization and manufacturing practices to increase profit margins and reduce delays. We also can assess your Quality and Health & Safety organizations to ensure proper staffing levels, roles and responsibilities.
The principals at Clear Point Group have served government agencies for more than 20 years. Our consultants assist departments in strategy development, budget efficiency, management, and personnel relations.
Some of our recent government project examples include:
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration -- conducted nationwide surveys and interviews to determine the latest trends and practices in HIV case management
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service -- performed an analysis and evaluation of the non-frontline worker organization, programs, services, and budget spending
While the "greening" of business and government is a hot topic, environmental stewardship is not a fad -- it's an imperative. Clear Point Group has a variety of services to assist clients in toward this end.
We excel in helping you achieve operational excellence in the following areas:
Project Management: Leading teams to execute on extraordinarily large and complex renewable projects, such as utility-scale solar plant engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC).
Product Design: Developing products that optimize energy usage, reduce or eliminate hazardous components and materials, conserve resources, and advance sustainability are vital.
Business Operations: Using extensive engineering experience, we can help you evaluate and optimize each aspect of your operations. This includes conservation plans and actions.
Compliance and Audit: Having a "green" plan is not enough. It is important to develop systems allowing you to monitor, track, document, and continuously improve upon environmental actions.
Environmental Positioning: While pushing "green" initiatives are critical, such efforts are also highly-sought after in the marketplace. Our services can help you differentiate and position your company and its products, further increasing the value delivered to your stakeholders.
