Reduce waste and unlock capacity. We'll help your team achieve both.
Bottlenecks, rework, capability gaps. We come in, work alongside your team on the floor, and stay until the change sticks on its own.
Four stages, six to twelve months, on your site.
Discovery
We walk the floor, talk to you, talk to the people doing the work and find where the time and money are actually going. Month 1 to 2.
Design
We build the plan with you and your team, not for them, so you're happy we're working on the right things. They helped write it, so they own it. Month 1 to 2.
Implement
We're on site working the projects with your people, training as we go. Month 3 to 9.
Sustain
We step back gradually and check it sticks without us. Month 10 to 12.
We're on the floor
Embedded in your facility alongside your team. Not a classroom, not a video call, not a typical consultant. All of our team are from operations backgrounds.
We only do SMEs
Businesses of 15 to 500 people in manufacturing, food, service and local government. We know what that constraint feels like. We don't wear the shiny shoes or the flash suits. We get in and get our hands dirty.
We agree the number first
Every engagement targets something you can measure. Revenue, cost, speed or retention. You pick it, we're held to it.
Six weeks to turn around a major customer order, and customers were noticing. We rebuilt the flow and the capability around it.
Accuracy and turnaround decide who wins the job, and setups were eating the day. Coaching plus work-based learning on the shop floor.
Short monthly sessions with real improvement projects as homework, plus structured toolbox meetings and visual boards.
Every engagement is different. The cost depends on how deep the discovery goes, how many projects we run and how much training sits inside it.
We'll give you a clear price after the first conversation, before anything starts. If the budget isn't there right now, say so and we'll point you at the training programmes instead, or at what you could do yourself first.
Most engagements run six to twelve months. Shorter than that and the change usually doesn't stick.
Tell us your challengeWe've had consultants in here before and it didn't work. Why is this different?
Most programmes stop at the workshop. We work with you and your team on the floor to make sure that the changes stick.
How much of my team's time does this take?
We plan around production. Most of the work happens on the job, not in a classroom, so time away from the floor is minimal.
Can you work with the systems we already have?
Yes. We start with how your business works now and improve from there. One of our key mottos is: don't break what's already working.
How do you decide what success looks like?
We agree it with you before we start. It is usually a number you already care about: output, cost, turnaround, quality or retention. And if you don't know, we'll help you define it.
Tell us what's not working.
One conversation, no charge, no pitch. If we can help we'll say how. If we can't we'll say that too.
