aynard® is an international consulting, software, and training business dedicated to providing innovative solutions to improve workforce performance and eliminate waste. Formed in 1934 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company is recognized as a leader in the areas of industrial engineering and productivity management.

Maynard serves a variety of industries in the retail, manufacturing, distribution, utility, and service sectors. Since the disciplines presented in our Maynard Workforce Performance Model impact any type of organization, we have not limited the industries we serve.

We have helped clients successfully improve workforce performance in offices, distribution centers, retail stores, banks, and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to all types of traditional manufacturing and assembly operations.

Our core offerings align with the nine disciplines of the Maynard Workforce Performance Model™. These disciplines include: 5-S, Work Flow Design, Best Methods, Setup Reduction, Engineered Standards, Workforce Training, Staffing and Reporting, Wage Alignment and Managing Performance. In support of each discipline we offer training courses, software applications, and consulting assistance.

We are proud to have partnered with so many excellent companies. We serve hundreds of established and new clients each year. Our client list includes many Fortune 500 companies, but also a number of small and medium-sized businesses. Our average annual repeat business is over 60%. We sincerely enjoy the win-win relationships we have with our clients.

Unlike many traditional consulting firms consisting of individual experts developing a number of independent practice groups, we are a team of professionals striving to be value-centered, business-like, and mission-driven. We work together to serve our clients and to develop innovative new offerings to continuously increase the value we bring to them.

Our people are at the heart of our success. We have established a comprehensive recruiting strategy to ensure that we hire the best candidates. We invest significant time and money in training to continuously enhance the technical, managerial and leadership capabilities of our staff. We all agree with and live by a set of core values that guide us in all that we do.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Maynard is our commitment to practicing what we preach. We firmly believe that the Maynard Workforce Performance Model™ applies to all types of organizations, including ours.

A tour of our offices will quickly reveal our practice of the disciplines of a Lean Workplace. A review of our operating procedures will demonstrate our approach to Standard Work. And, a study of our communication systems and management approach will show how we use the disciplines in managing performance.

Internationally, our software and training products are represented by a network of distributors.
