Operational Performance Improvement for your Business
 The current economic climate has placed increased pressure on all types of enterprise. No sector is immune: the public sector; the private sector and ‘not for profit’ organisations have all been challenged to reduce costs, increase efficiency and maximise value of their processes for their customers.
Our expertise
As Business Technologists we believe that the greatest progress is made when people and technology are brought together. We specialise in deploying effective tools and methodologies to support your improvement initiative from the shop floor to the board room, from a single process to an entire enterprise.
We have a complete portfolio of proven approaches that can be tailored to meet your specific operational performance improvement requirements and ensure high quality, sustainable improvement:
- Whole Systems Analysis: A systems thinking approach to enterprise improvement that brings your business strategy to life, based upon delivering organisational priorities and eliminating constraints that prevent their achievement. The foundation of a lean transformation programme
- Lean Cost Reduction: Understanding the organisational challenges to delivering a lower cost business. Robust tools for identifying cash savings that can be implemented with minimal impact whilst maximising value for customers
- Value Stream Redesign: A proven and flexible approach that identifies the end to end process for the delivery of a product or service and optimises the process through a series of iterative steps to maximise value, minimise cost through waste elimination
- Lean Six Sigma: a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses statistical analysis to measure process performance and drive process performance and variability reduction
- Rapid Improvement Events: Focussed, interventional change activity that provides rapid improvement in specific processes or teams that is identified, developed, implemented and owned by the workforce, giving a step change in performance
- Workplace Lean Deployment: working with a team, department or function and transforming the organisation through implementation of simple yet robust tools that integrate with the process to define a new way of working centred on continuous improvement
- Internal Capability: We offer a comprehensive programme of training tailored to your business that develops capability from awareness through to improvement expert to create a critical mass of change agents to deliver a sustainable improvement
In our experience these approaches need to be coupled with robust change management, benefits monitoring and a strong governance structure, to ensure a sustainable programme. We offer more than interventional change; we can help to build a Lean culture, leaving you with a legacy of empowered operational performance improvement experts.
