About Us
Access Process Solutions (APS) is an expanding consulting firm with offices in Central Illinois and in Chicago. Our management team has over 45 years’ collective process experience. We run dozens and dozens of process projects. We advise numerous management teams about current process methodologies and strategies, focusing on those of Six Sigma and APS' own derivatives. By that, we employ APS strategies to help companies design their own process methodology. APS strategies serve as models that provide informative ways for companies to determine all the appropriate "pieces" to meet each individual company's one-of-a-kind set of needs. This unique construction builds upon a strong process foundation, one common to all successful businesses.
Just Business: This foundation holds the key. Does your company want to learn about or adopt Six Sigma? Does it want to establish a process-focused environment, strongly tied to customers' ever-changing needs? Does it want to ensure that it's measuring the right things at the right time? Does it prefer to go its own way to earn Six Sigma-like results? APS strategies address the people-side of business activity as well, which is often lost in the process, pun intended. Ask about our Community of Communication (TM). It is powerful. We have the know-how and the experience to help your company reach its goals. Whether a company wants process education, practice, strategy, or guidance, we deliver.

Beyond Just Business: However, we have four more reason to use APS.

1) In this day and age of outsourcing, we differ from other consultancies in that we focus with determination on bringing in and grooming local talent.

2) The ultimate goal of our efforts with a company is to leave the company after imparting industry best practices. We don’t usually engage a client in process work longer than 5 years at most, because we are no longer needed. The expertise is in the house!

3) It’s not just about business. As just mentioned, we operate in a manner that slowly and steadily transfers industry knowledge, skills, and practices to in-house experts. It's a very healthy blend that is appreciated by both a company's managers and employees.

4) Finally, most of the talent is local and remains local, which may even lead to a slightly more process savvy labor force in your community. That can serve us all in several ways.

Background: APS executives have worked in IT, manufacturing, and distribution businesses, where they have been pioneers in helping advance these companies toward their goals more effectively and efficiently. APS has developed several process-oriented training programs and written several articles, including one, titled Defining Standards in a Corporate Environment and another , titled Using FMEA for Testing Software.
