Who are our clients? Why do they come to us?
“This is a tremendous achievement and results from excellent team working within your area”
Rolls-Royce Aerospace Project Director
Our clients are major manufacturing, distribution, retail and service organisations in the UK, Europe and across the world. They come from a broad range of industries each with their unique
challenges and cultures, and seeking help from a ‘no fads’ company with proven success and expertise.
We take the lean ideas used in volume industries and apply them to more challenging environments; to businesses with volatile markets, broader product ranges, make-to-order production or less reliable suppliers.
The result is a better market share, a happier team, and a healthier bottom line… and also
improved efficiency and responsiveness for the long term.
Projects have ranged from design and implementation on a single site to large-scale
programmes for major organisations.
Joint working and transfer of learning to the in-house team are always an essential part.
We are experts in optimising supply chain for customer service, inventory, and operating costs. We do this by improving supply-chain processes, guiding the implementation of new tools, and ensuring your people have the knowledge to maintain and run them.
