We are often approached by clients who need to find extra capacity within their existing operations, or need to improve performance rapidly to capitalise on a market opportunity, without the need for capital, extra footprint or lengthy engineering projects to achieve this.

We have a wealth of manufacturing experience and bring this to bear to find significant operational and financial opportunity where there initially appears to be little or none.

We work with the site team to conduct a zero-based loss analysis to identify all opportunities for improvement and prioritise those that will deliver rapid and sustainable operational and financial results.

Routinely we help the site team to discover opportunities for 10% to 50% improvement in critical KPIs, where existing measures show little opportunity. After prioritisation, there is usually a plan to deliver 10% to 25% – rapidly, sustainably and without capital expenditure.

We conduct assessments to not only help you to discover the true operational and financial potential, we also assess the processes and tiered management systems necessary to sustain results and drive and support ongoing improvement.

In addition, we help you assess the technical, managerial, supervisory and leadership capabilities required to deliver the results and build a plan to train, coach and support all team members to achieve their potential and ensure the site is set up not only to deliver exceptional results, but also to sustain them.

“I apologised to John when I first showed him this area of the plant as he seemed a nice guy and I didn’t think there was any opportunity to be found. Now it’s running 42% more output, without capital!”Continuous Improvement Manager, USA
