SUCCESS STORY

Empowering leaders to achieve material and operation improvements

  • A global leader in industrial mortars and construction chemicals, with approximately 10,000 employees and operations in over 63 countries.

our impact

Acquisitions always bring about changes that can either boost a company or trip it up, depending on how those changes are managed.

In this case, the instructor course that the Henkan team designed in collaboration with the client not only yielded significant operational and material gains but also resulted in promotions for over half of those who participated.

the Business challenge

Henkan was engaged to assist the parent company in navigating significant challenges integrating a newly acquired brand with an established World Class Manufacturing (WCM) programme. Key issues included aligning existing WCM practices with the new brand’s strategic objectives and ensuring consistency across all operational sites.

Our Approach

Improved yield by 40% andOver 50% of participants were promoted

We designed a tailored leadership course to align with the business’ strategic objectives, values and mission, ensuring comprehensive operational and financial improvements

Increased Overall Equipment Effectiveness by 15% and manpower efficiency by 20%

Achieved ISO 45001 certification

With Henkan’s help we designed a bespoke instructor course. I would definitely recommend it for any continuous improvement programme but particularly for a business that’s new to such a programme or is struggling to gain traction in driving forward transformational change.
