AMCG, a Boston-based operations efficiency engineering firm serving the air transportation, high technology and pharmaceutical sectors, today announced its entrance into the United States market. The company's first order of business will be to help improve the security and operational excellence of American airports.

"The air transportation industry is in a state of accelerated change, and that change is happening under the spotlight of the American media," said Ronen Hakimi, president of AMCG. "Based on our experience with the Israel Airports Authority and the Ben Gurion International Airport, we have developed a unique set of services that will help airlines and airports provide a dramatically safer, friendlier, and more efficient experience to all passengers."

AMCG's methodology, Bridging Management(TM) - Project Management Through the Eyes of Future Operations, is a unique set of consulting services designed to increase airport security, quality of service, and operational efficiency. The company's methodology enables airports and airlines to define needs and specifications for both current and future operations, identify required changes, and build an action plan for improving systems. AMCG has developed this comprehensive methodology based in part on its work with the Israel Airports Authority and Ben Gurion International Airport, one of the world's safest airports.

"AMCG offers a unique blend of traditional project management and management consulting services," said Bill Martorelli, vice president, e-Services and Sourcing at Hurwitz Group. "The company's extensive engineering experience enables it to provide the full range of support to customers, from the planning process through actual implementation."

AMCG's proprietary methodology is a blend of operations efficiency engineering and large-scale project management. AMCG, in effect, "bridges management" by working closely with organizations' decision-makers to evaluate and redesign existing and future operations to improve security, customer service, and overall operational efficiency.
