Our Approach?

Sustainable Operational Profit Improvement
Expertise in Lean, Six Sigma, TPM, World Class Manufacturing and Constraint Theory, along with a range of in-house developed approaches, enables us to tailor our improvement model to the needs of the sector, and indeed each client.  We offer Advisory, Consultancy, Practitioning and Training.  Expertise in each means both understanding what improvement is achievable, and how to actually make it happen.  The knowledge from one feeds directly into the other – giving clarity on exactly what is required to achieve what result.  Practitioning programmes come with a guaranteed ROI (calculated during the opportunity assessment) with payback typically achieved in a few months.  We are very proud of our results – our projects consistently outperform other approaches – they deliver the most rapid improvement, and not only sustain results but also embed capability to continue an enhanced rate of improvement.
