Service
Manufacturing Excellence, Costing and CAPEX Consulting
Most factory improvement programmes fail not because the analysis is wrong, but because it stops at the diagnosis. We work from the process data and the shop floor to a costed, owned implementation plan.
The situation
A line runs below its rated capacity. The OEE report blames changeover, the operators blame the tooling, and the capital request to fix it has been rejected twice for lack of evidence. Resolving that needs measurement, a bottleneck model and a business case that a finance director will sign.
Typical assignments
- Process mapping, time study and cycle-time benchmarking
- OEE, downtime and capacity analysis
- Line balancing, manning and material-flow studies
- CAPEX option development and investment phasing
- Clean-sheet and should-cost analysis

- Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen and waste reduction
- Supplier process audits and industrialisation support
Typical deliverables
