About Bruce Zarembka

Bruce R. Zarembka - b••••••••@gmail.com - Cell 40••••••21 - Office 40••••••83 Increase profits or cut costs? Chances are people are in business to make a profit. More often than not, when problems arise, business owners/operators look to cut costs, thinking it’s the remedy to what ails their business. Instead of making drastic decisions that may affect the quality of their program, more focus and energy should be spent on identifying, and eliminating, the root of the problem(s). This can be achieved, by simply looking deeper. I help businesses maximize profit potential by identifying deficiencies, developing operating efficiency, utilizing marketing initiatives, and yes, cost analysis. With twenty plus years of Supply Chain and Operations Management, I introduce owners and operators to a new way of running their business. Throughout my experiences in purchasing and operations, I\'ve spent my career servicing the needs of customers. I value integrity and doing what is right. I appreciate the importance of working together as a team, utilizing relationships and communication to reach a common goal. Ultimately, my passion and goal are one in the same, to help people succeed. If you would like to learn more about what I do or how I can help, please, feel free to contact me. Reach out to me at b••••••••@gmail.com. If I can’t be of service, I may know others who can. I’d be happy to help you find a solution either way.
