Our expertise includes ownership of several manufacturing companies. Key industry experience and operational knowledge are essential in providing organic growth for companies, whether in sales or operations; but most important in increasing profits.
We are roll-up-our-sleeves operations management consultants. We are great in the classroom, BUT we prefer to get in there and work side-by-side with your team. We work well whether it's in the front office, back office or right out on the production floor.
We will be there for you ever step of the way, including before, during and after the project. Our assistance includes both providing recommendations and assisting you with implementation.

From Chief Coach & Mentor, Owner Ben Hershey
My name is Ben Hershey and thank you for visiting our site.
With more than 135 years of experience, the 4Ward team can provide you with top level advice. Each of the individuals involved at 4Ward Consulting have varying backgrounds, but have specific experience in building components, setting up operations, and other aspects. I was a part of my father's company at an early age, including the building of roofs and floor trusses, wall panels and providing modular components in the Chicago market. I have also been a part of several industry committees to establish working best practices. My direct experience spans more than 30 years.
