Finely-tuned Methodologies for each Sector

We specialise in FMCG manufacture, with a very strong track record in Food & Drink, but our first client was in Iron & Steel and we’ve also worked across Paper, Packaging & Printing, and the Chemical & Pharmaceutical sectors. Each sector has a different asset base and set of base assumptions – and our success has been in tailoring our approach prioritised according to key financial ratios such as ‘Depreciation per FTE’ and ‘Raw Material to Total Product Cost’.

LEAN FOR FMCGS

Highly Skilled Practitioners

We use highly-skilled Practitioners to implement our programmes – not Consultants. Our Practitioners have all managed a factory, or a significant part of one, and are dedicated to working with your teams to improve productivity by training, getting involved in meetings, and working with the shopfloor – in the way only true operational professionals can.

 

Forefront of Manufacturing Innovation

With decades of broad operational experience at the forefront of manufacturing, our team is well equipped to build and/or review Operational Strategy, knowledgeable about the technologies and run strategies available to manufacturers, and the relative merits of different approaches to improvement. As such, we are able to provide professional consultancy services to support your organisational capability towards improvement – including Operational Due Diligence, Operational Strategy, and Lean Manufacturing Audit compliance, and more…
