What do you want to achieve?

  • Reduce machine or process set-up time? We are specialists in cutting the time taken to set machines up, or get ready for the important work your customers want doing. The method we use (Single Minute Exchange of Dies - SMED) was pioneered by Shigeo Shingo and at Toyota and typically yields a 50-75% reduction in non-productive time.
  • Improve Quality? Every defect, customer complaint, or warranty return you can avoid goes straight to the company's bottom line. We use practical, hands-on methods to help your people make improvements that identify the root causes of problems, and eliminate them for good.
  • Slash you Lead Times? Your competitors may be cheeper, but are they as quick? By helping organisaitons to understand their process flow, we can help them see the dead space between their value-adding activities. Eliminate these, and production really flies - typical improvements are around a 75% reduction in lead time, coupled with a 45% reduction in costs.
