June 06, 2025Overhyped and Overpriced: APE Failed to Deliver
I'm extremely disappointed with the services provided by Advanced Productivity Engineering (APE). As the operations manager of a mid-sized manufacturing firm, I was expecting APE to bring significant improvements to our production line. Unfortunately, their 'expert' consultants seemed more interested in selling us pre-packaged solutions than actually understanding our unique challenges. The 'industrial engineering tools' they touted were nothing more than outdated techniques with fancy names. Facilities layout 'optimization' resulted in a 10% increase in material handling costs, and their 'labor standards development' led to a 15% decrease in employee morale. The 'simulation modeling' they performed was riddled with errors, causing us to waste valuable resources on incorrect assumptions. For a company that claims to focus on customer satisfaction, APE's team was surprisingly unresponsive to our concerns. Emails went unanswered for days, and phone calls were met with a 'we'll get back to you soon' that never came. The final bill was a staggering $250,000, with no discernible ROI. Unless you enjoy throwing money at problems without solving them, stay far, far away from APE. One star, and that's being generous.
