Industrials and manufacturing

Manufacturers make their margin on the floor, in procurement, and in the discipline of pricing and quality. We work on all of it, and on the working capital tied up in the business.
Where the work concentrates

The work in industrials and manufacturing.

Plant productivity

We work on the throughput, uptime, and labour of the plant, where a manufacturer's cost is set.

Procurement

We work on sourcing and supplier terms, usually the largest single cost the business carries.

Quality and reliability

We work on quality and reliability, and the cost of getting them wrong.

Pricing and working capital

We work on pricing, and on the cash tied up in inventory and receivables.

Our approach

On the floor, and in the numbers.

We work on the floor, where the cost is made, and on the procurement and pricing that decide the margin around it. We measure what is actually happening before we change it, and we build the improvement into how the plant is run and measured, so it holds after we leave.
