For every step of your improvement journey…
When it comes to implementing improvement programmes, we use Practitioners, not Consultants. This means you don’t get someone who became a consultant straight out of university. Our Practitioners have all managed a factory, or a significant part of one, and have a track record of success from within business before joining Lauras International. They have then gone though an extensive training process to make them experts in their chosen specialism of improvement. They will then work with you and your personnel, training, getting involved in meetings, and on the shop floor in the way only true operational professionals can. Only in this way have we been able to guarantee the success of our programmes…
1. Opportunity Assessment
Detailed onsite review of operations
Are you building the right improvement plan? Going after all you could – or concerned there’s a big prize being missed? You know your losses, but do you have the right systems/behaviours in place to sustain improvement? Maybe you just want confirmation your plan isn’t too aggressive. Opportunity Assessments define your site’s maturity towards improvement, outline the areas of greatest opportunity, and determine the right improvement model for your business. Read more…
