ABOUT US
“Work harder, not smarter” seems to be the real concept for most organizations.
L
RICKS ASSOCIATES was established in 1985 in Austin, TX with the focus
on “work smarter, not harder” mentality. With years of “in
the trenches” experience with process improvement - cost reduction
- yield enhancement programs (consumer electronics, aerospace, and high
tech), it was time to launch a venture into productivity engineering and
help organizations such as yours.
From this concept, L RICKS ASSOCIATES has assisted companies from “low tech” to “high tech.” The methodology is completely transferable, regardless of the technology. The founder, Rick Hauenstein, is a registered professional engineer with over 35 years experience as both individual contributor and consultant. His efforts in work place analysis, cash flow analysis, and contamination control have been referenced in seminars, worldwide.
In
mid-2004, L RICKS ASSOCIATES uprooted to move to the northeast corner
of Illinois, where the abundance of small, low-tech assembly companies
call home. Although some clients are the giants of the industry, such
as Motorola, Texas Instruments, Advanced Micro Devices, Lockheed-Martin,
and Applied Materials, other clients, such as Surface Mount Taping, Banderacom,
and Reedholm Instruments were given the same professional service.
L RICKS ASSOCIATES is an "equal technology" company. We do not discriminate based on technology, corporate image or size.
Another concept, “the job isn’t finished until the paperwork is done,” lead L RICKS ASSOCIATES to create both the technical documentation and web design offerings. With our engineering resources, who is better equipped to transfer technical documentation from the design or manufacturing areas to the end user or to the web?
Two
future online programs which will be included on the L RICKS ASSOCIATES
web site are “Predominant Use Study” guide and comprehensive,
interactive “Cash Flow Analysis” program for capital appropriations
requests.
