BT Squared and WMEP Join Forces

 

BT Squared, Inc. has teamed with Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership (WMEP) to enhance profitable sustainability for industry.

Though many companies have already reduced their energy costs and environmental impacts to improve the bottom line, a substantial number of state firms aren't in the game. The results of the Wisconsin Next Generation Manufacturing Study revealed that more than half of the 500 respondents were making little or no progress on sustainability. Yet, a 2009 study by global research firm IDC Manufacturing Insights Reports that "going green" is a catalyst for cost savings and revenue growth. How can Wisconsin manufacturing overcome the obstacles associated with sustainability?

This is where BT Squared and WMEP can help. Our team is devoted to helping companies achieve big results by integrating best practices into areas such as:

• Energy management
• Environmental efficiencies (air, water, waste, land use)
• Safety and training
• Sustainability strategies and planning
• Lean manufacturing
• Supply chain improvements
• Quality systems

"It makes perfect sense to leverage our technical and management skills with WMEP's deep bench of manufacturing experts, toward a common goal of helping Wisconsin industries achieve world-class status," says Ray Tierney, a founding partner of BT Squared.

"Sustainability is a competitive advantage that will allow state manufacturers to build a strong foundation for future growth," said Michael Klonsinski, executive director for WMEP. "Sustainability is no longer an option, it's a business imperative in today's global marketplace."
