Our Approach            

LRM  begins by performing a preliminary study at no cost.  From this study, we are able to tell what your operating  cost per mile should be for the age, description, and  condition of your fleet.  We determine if your organization is using the best mix of vehicles, software, labor, and  material handling tools to realize your requirements.  We then submit a proposal identifying potential savings and opportunities.

Upon completion of the preliminary study, LRM will present a detailed analysis of any potential 'in-system'  improvement and cost reductions.  Should this information  be of value to you, we would then prepare a proposal  outlining the significant areas including an action plan,  goals/objectives, timelines and any associated fees.

As a client, we then delve more deeply into your operation.  Task-related time lines are followed.  Periodic status reports and recommendations are  delivered.  We implement our recommendations in concert with your management.  At the end of our  engagement, LRM  presents a final, comprehensive  report of our findings, recommendations, and implementations.  Our offering is without risk, yet  could yield very significant rewards for your company.

 R    How many vehicles  does our company or agency really need?

 R    Is there a better way to distribute  our product(s)?

 R    Can we lower our full service leasing costs ?

 R    What new technology  should our organization be utilizing?

 R    Can we improve the productivity and service level  of our warehouse?

 R    Should we use private, for-hire, rail carriage, or a combination?  

Our Associates

Many companies have personnel who are fully capable of performing some of these tasks quite effectively.  Rare is the company, however, that employs those  individuals with 'top-notch' expertise in all of these areas.  

Our success is due in great measure to the wide varied qualifications of our associates, who, collectively, have amassed just such broad operational experience.  Some of our associates have worked with leaders in the equipment leasing and maintenance industry and include companies such as Ryder Systems, U.P.S., Rollins  National Lease, Penske Common Carrier Association to name a few.  Other associates have gained extensive experience in fleet design, distribution, warehousing and  administration while affiliated with such major industrial corporations as Champion International Corporation,  Yellow Freight Systems, Comdata Corporation, U.S.  Surgical  Corporation, Coca Cola, Atlantic Richfield Corporation, U.P.S., and the Stop and Shop Stores.   As LRM  grows, we continue to add additional expertise in all areas of supply chain management activities, further broadening the scope of LRM s  services.

Our associates are all seasoned professionals with a vast array of executive management experience.  LRM  is a quantum leap ahead of other consulting firms in its professional ability to not only make the recommendations, but to implement them as well.
