Improve efficiency, productivity & service

Operations Excellence

We assist executives in improving on-time delivery, lead times, inventory turns, throughput, and overall performance by systematically implementing principles and tools through step change projects that enhance organisational efficiency and foster a culture of operational excellence.

 

Drive a step change in performance

Operations Transformation

We work with executives to transform their operations function into an efficient, effective, value creating and agile organisation by reviewing the operations operating model, processes, assets, systems, culture and capability, then transforming it to drive corporate value and resilience.  

 

Engaging the organisation 

Continuous Improvement

Our continuous improvement approach focuses on creating a capability of ongoing ‘continuous improvement’ within teams, enabling organisations to systematically identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, and enhance productivity performance across all levels while making the most of data, digital, and automation. 

 

Resolve poor performance

Operations Rapid Intervention

Our rapid intervention approach tackles bottlenecks, declining throughput, and digital implementation setbacks, delivering immediate, measurable results. Using proven tools and expert guidance, we stabilise operations, boost efficiency, and restore performance with minimal disruption.

 

Operations Capability Development

Operations Capability Development

We assess, design and build teams and blended learning pathways that are tailored to your operational needs. This includes developing skills frameworks and customised continuous improvement programmes to enhance business performance and build team capabilities for long-term success.

 

minimise environmental, ethical, and social impact

Sustainable Operations

We help organisations design and implement sustainable business strategies and operational processes that reduce waste, optimise the use of ethical resources, and enhance energy efficiency.

 

Achieve faster time-to-market

Product Lifecycle Management

We empower organisations to achieve faster time-to-market and deliver greater customer value at lower cost, while ensuring sustainability, quality and compliance targets are met through the effective configuration and change management and new product introduction processes.

 

Reduce waste and losses

Conversion Cost Analysis

Our conversion cost analysis approach enables senior leaders and executive to quantify production losses, linking them to operational costs, and driving prioritisation of improvement activities by implementing a quantitively focused cross functional approach across the end-to-end operations / production process.
