The Capstan Group provides long-term solutions that save companies millions of dollars year after year.

The Capstan Group (TCG) implements workforce management solutions for clients across a variety of industries. Based on shift schedule research initially conducted at Stanford University in the late 1970's and early 1980's, TCG consultants pioneered new concepts and strategies to redeploy workforces around the world. In 2004, TCG conducted extensive executive interviews and an intense review of past projects. In almost every case, the results revealed that schedule changes had resulted in millions of dollars in savings and provided positive returns. Over time, however, the implemented solutions often fell short as organizations changed to respond to market and customer demands.

To address this problem, our professionals reformed as The Capstan Group. We are leading the way with workforce deployment strategies that meet an organization's current needs and that also provide long-term solutions as the organization or marketplace changes. Our services include implementation of operations, maintenance, and service level best practices and performance management, as well as traditional schedule implementation. By utilizing a number of software tools and extensive management training, Capstan customers are able to monitor their operations, maintenance, and service practices, thus guaranteeing that the maximum results will be achieved year in and year out. When things change, as they almost always do, Capstan customers are able to flex their most important asset – their people. The result is lower costs and higher profits. Involving the workforce in the process of creating flexibility, whether it is schedule related or operational changes, allows companies to also best meet the needs of their employees.

Why the Capstan? Because a capstan has always been used to leverage power to move formidable objects. For centuries sailors have used capstans to raise their anchors. At TCG we are all about leveraging your most important asset – your people.
