Veterans Day is a reminder that freedom comes at a price, a price borne by our servicemen and women who have stood on the front lines, ensuring our safety and security. These remarkable individuals embody values and principles that are deeply ingrained in our company's culture. As said by Johnny Rojas, our founder and VP of Operations, "As a veteran, I can truly appreciate the values of dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment. I'm proud and grateful to say that these qualities, highly upheld in our armed forces, have been deeply embedded within the very fabric of our team through the numerous veterans who have come to join it. Our veterans' service is a never-ending source of inspiration to us all."

Thank you to all the veterans for your service and Happy Veterans Day.
And to those who serve or served in the Marine Corps, we say, Semper Fi, devil dogs! Happy Birthday!

In the midst of uncertainty and economic challenges, EPIC Consultants faced a pivotal moment that tested resilience and adaptability. It was the year 2008, and the world was grappling with the recession. While we had some loyal customers, it was a time when many businesses contemplated giving up and Johnny Rojas, wasn’t different. “It was a very challenging time and I asked myself if we should continue.”However, EPIC chose a different path—to stay open to new possibilities.

Their story shifted when a late-night call from a General at "Point Blank Solutions," renowned for producing government bulletproof vests, affirmed their path. This company, grappling with its own challenges, sought to implement a quality management system. Johnny recalls, "The phone rang. We talked briefly, and suddenly the General asked, 'Why are you taking this call past 7 pm?' I replied, 'That's what we do! We're always available to our customers.’ I believe this played a crucial role in securing the project, a commitment we continue to uphold."

EPIC, always up for a challenge, initiated an ISO Implementation project with Point Blank Solutions. The general's unwavering determination to see the project through was a testament to the trust they had in EPIC's capabilities, as they tackled this demanding task with non-negotiable deadlines, navigating the complexities of an unconventional partnership. EPIC had to navigate through the complexities of working with a company that was unlike any they had encountered before.

Amidst a changing world, EPIC thrived on uncertainty, seizing opportunities. This partnership showcased EPIC’s adaptability and ability to turn challenges into triumphs. It was a reminder that even in the most challenging times, embracing new possibilities can yield remarkable results.

Celebrating two decades of EPIC success, let this story testify to resilience and change. Here's to more adventures, where EPIC thrives on opportunities, conquers obstacles, and leaves a lasting project mark. Share your stories with us and let's inspire each other to keep pushing boundaries.

Lesson #4 – Nurture Relationships

Amidst the success of EPIC's training sessions, new opportunities arose, cementing our path to success.

Our journey into continuous improvement immersed us in Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, unveiling a demand for comprehensive training. From Lean Systems, we expanded to include Lean Six Sigma green belt, Black belt courses, supply chain management, and more.

Johnny recounted a funny story where students started asking for snacks during class and a tradition began. Alfredo chimed in with a laugh, "We used to have this blue cooler, like the beach cooler with a handle. And before every class, we would go buy cheap pastries, like cupcakes, not even the good cupcakes, two-liter Coke, and a three-liter bottle of Pepsi." “It was embarrassing”, Johnny said.

But it’s not all about food. From the beginning, our training was different. Our classes presented concepts curated by practical experience. Participants left each session with tools and answers they could immediately implement. All that was done in a friendly and engaging way.

EPIC's courses began to gain popularity, people started to take notice, and classes grew in size. By 2006, EPIC was offering several courses with as many as 25 participants each, a testament to their success.

Over the years, we've expanded our training from South Florida to Colombia, Brazil, and Nicaragua, introduced Project Management, Agile, among others, and unified our programs into a unique integrated solution. This delivers customized professional development, team building, and instant results for groups of varying sizes and industries.

As we celebrate two decades of EPIC achievements, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who played a role in our journey where we've not only nurtured relationships but also managed to keep our students well-fed, one snack run at a time! Here's to many more exciting adventures ahead, filled with knowledge, camaraderie, and perhaps a few better cupcakes along the way! Share your catering suggestions with us, and let's continue building meaningful connections.

Celebrating 2 Decades of Excellence! Join us on our journey through EPIC history.

# 3 Stay connected to your roots.

EPIC’s journey was shaped by the connections it nurtured over the years. One pivotal figure in this journey was Dr. Shig-Ming Lee, former Chairman of the Industrial Engineering Department at FIU’s Center for Engineering and Computing. His wisdom and guidance opened doors and laid the foundation for EPIC’s success.

Johnny and Alfredo ventured deeper into the world of continuous improvement and decided to return to FIU-CEC to talk to former professors Mario Sanches and Dr. Lee, both of whom became great allies.

Dr. Lee, as the director of FIU’s Department of External Programs, seized the chance to introduce a Lean Management class. Johnny and Alfredo swiftly developed the program, enlisting the assistance of MEPs Phil Centoze, Gil Lugo, and Ernesto Castano, resulting in its immediate success.

Around that time, J’s brother, Gubiath Rojas was working at Caterpillar and was heavily involved in their Six Sigma program, giving him great expertise very early on. Johnny saw the opportunity and worked with Gubiath in the design of EPIC’s first lean six sigma green belt.

EPIC’s commitment to build meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships extended beyond the classroom. A weekend course with Bright Star led to a significant project and the introduction of another important name in EPIC’s history: Marcos Rossi, a Supply Chain Director at Bright Star who later developed and taught EPIC-FIU's Supply Chain Management class.

“And it all goes back to that guy.” - remembers Alfredo. “Always smiling and willing to help, there’s just so much we owe to Dr. Lee and to FIU.”

As EPIC celebrates two decades of excellence, we express great gratitude to Dr. Lee and all the FIU-CEC team who helped shape this remarkable journey.

Celebrating 2 Decades of Excellence! It's been an EPIC journey indeed! This year marks 20 years of innovation, collaboration, and growth at EPIC. To celebrate, we will share short stories and lessons from our incredible journey.


#2 – Create your Opportunities

EPIC Consultants was established in 2003, but our journey actually began in 1999, when Johnny and Alfredo met. Johnny, a Navy veteran and FIU graduate in Industrial and System Engineering, joined Alfredo at the US Foundry. They immediately hit it off!

Early on, we learned that success required pursuing our goals and forging opportunities. Our quest for alliances led Alfredo to meet Phil Centoze, Gil Lugo, and Ernesto Castano from the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP). MEP supported local manufacturers with process improvement, sponsored by the State of Florida. Alfredo showcased our capabilities, leading to EPIC's first contract—a small project with a vitamins and supplements manufacturer.

Around that time, Alfredo met with a friend, Jorge Garcia, a Sales and Marketing professional who had established ODM Performance Solutions. “When he saw our material, he said we needed to ‘structure ourselves a little better’ (he probably said something a lot more direct than that)” Alfredo remembers, laughing. So, we invested all the money from our first project to hire ODM to help us with EPIC’s first strategic plan. This move led to our first major project with Caribbean Star and Caribbean Sun Airlines (World Atlantic Airlines). Johnny recalls, “It was a long project that took us all over the Caribbean”, remembers Johnny. “We were really excited, but it was rough! We would leave early in the morning and come back late at night. We were beat up!”

Jorge remained a vital part of our journey, supporting us through numerous projects. As we celebrate two decades of EPIC achievements, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the team from MEP and to Jorge Garcia, who gave us our initial push, the thrust that got this EPIC wheel in motion.

Here's to 20 years of EPIC success, and to many more exciting adventures ahead! Share your memories with us!
