Teamwork and Partners

We provide our services by contracting and teaming with our customers, utilizing the skills they have, teaching the skills they want, building the solutions they need. If additional resources are needed, we can find them by utilizing our network of independent experts and relationships with other experienced solution providers.

 What follows is a partial list of the resources avaialble for our project team. 

We help people make real money. Real money as the kind you can take to the bank -- as opposed to the imaginary gains produced by so many improvement initiatives. Many times changes are not reflected in the profit and loss statement.

At Chesapeake we are passionately focused on helping our clients reap real bottom-line benefits. We do that by concentrating changes at the few leverage points in their organization that make a difference in productivity and profits.

Q MARK, located in Birmingham, Alabama, was founded in early 1998 by Kirstin Huettner-Tong, based on the principles of her iterative approach to supply chain design. She developed this approach during her doctoral research at the University of Alabama as part of a project to design the inbound supply chain for a new automobile plant in the area. Since its founding, QMARK has provided supply chain engineering work primarily to the automotive industry. In recent years our supply chain work led us to smaller manufactures who are facing the same market pressures as large automotive OEMs but whose operations are not set up to cope with the constantly changing demand and high (low/) cost pressures. Newer manufacturing philosophies such as JIT,TQM and TOC adopted by large companies have not filtered down to smaller manufacturers. QMark is bringing these bold manufacturing philosophies to smaller manufacturers via an affordable, cost-effective service.
