Our company…

was founded almost 20 years ago specialising in business improvement and strategic development, targeted primarily toward operations businesses – for both manufacturing and service sectors.

Founded in autumn 1999 winning our first two contracts with:

1. Hydrospin Inc (a subsidiary of Luxfer Gas Cylinders) in Huntington Beach, USA.  These projects were outstandingly successful resulting in:

• ~80% increase in output to meet exceptional demand for stainless re-breather cylinders
• Re-layout of main production facility from 3 buildings to one resulting in savings of approximately $1M p.a.

2. Alstom Transport Services UK. Facilitation of the development and deployment of the Alstom Maintenance System throughout their UK depots - mainline and underground.  Many successful projects were supported including:

• At Stratford Market (Jubilee Line) a ‘pit-stop’ approach was developed for nightly and weekly clean routines, with substantial savings in expensive cleaning fluids, and improvement in resulting cleanliness and productivity.
• The development and roll-out of ‘Process Maintenance’ employing the principles of ‘Lean’ and ‘Flow’ into scheduled maintenance tasks, resulting in substantial productivity improvements and error-proofing advantages.

Thereafter there have been many projects across a wide spectrum for both manufacturing and service organisations.

Some examples of special note:

1. The development & deployment of the Rolls Royce Production System - as an associate of the WCI Group.
   • A key member of the team responsible for the development of several Operations Modules
   • Facilitation of the subsequent deployment with great success in the Bergen Diesels facility in Norway - a project credited with C£2M p.a. savings.
2. The successful introduction of ‘flow’ and dedicated workstation pit-stops for Rail Carriage Renovation
   • 30% improvement in productivity
   • Reliable Customer Service (downtime)
