Using a structured approach to improve performance
We focus on delivering solutions that benefit your bottom line, helping you make decisions based on thorough data analysis to improve quality, cost and delivery. We target the non-value adding activity in your business (Transport, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Over-Production, Over-Processing, Defects) to improve customer lead time and increase cash flow.
Understand the current state
They say half of solving any problem is a clear understanding of it! Establishing the business performance today ‘warts and all’, using techniques such as Value Stream Mapping will uncover all the wasteful activities taking place.
Design the future state
Before you embark on any journey, you need to know where you’re going! Understanding what the business wants to achieve and how you will measure success is key to making the right changes for your business. Having an agreed future state will align everyone and using SMART objectives to track progress towards your goal will let you know if changes need to be made along the way.
Make the change
If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got! Making changes is key to improving, it can be difficult because it involves people and no-one likes ‘doing it somebody else’s way’! The key to effective change is guiding your teams to see the issues and change it for the better themselves. Getting them to work smarter and not harder, because no-one likes working harder.
Sustain the improvement
Old habits die hard! How do we make the new way the old habit? By getting your teams to say, “I can’t believe we used to do it like that!”. But it doesn’t stop there, throughout the process your teams will be trained, coached and mentored in improvement and change practices, all you need to do is empower them to carry on!
