Operational Improvements

5S (commonly known as Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain) is a method of organising the workplace from improved safety and efficiency. We can support with developing a robust 5S strategy for your work area (including offices) which doesn't just improve your housekeeping but also your operating efficiency. 

The majority of processes must 'changeover' between products or services to meet varying customer demands. This is usually one of the 6 big downtime losses within a business. We can provide changeover analysis based on the Single Minute Exchange of Die analysis and support improvements by developing a clear action plan.

Process analysis involves reviewing the process in multiple different ways, such as process mapping, line studies and analysis of bottlenecks. We can provide these services through developing your employees capabilities or through direct improvements providing significant improvements to your business. 

Value stream mapping helps organisations visualise, analyse, and optimise their processes to eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and deliver greater value to customers. We can support with facilitating VSM sessions and support with building action plans.

Capacity planning is the process of ensuring that an organisation has the right resources in place to meet current and future demand efficiently and cost-effectively. We can support with developing models to manage resource effectively and how they link to business' wider Sales and Operations processes.

KPIs are essential for tracking progress, optimising performance, and achieving business goals. We can support organisations develop their KPIs to help provide actionable insights, drive accountability, and help stay competitive by making informed, data-driven decisions for long-term success.
