Supply Chain & Operations

Inventory Excellence focuses on four areas: inventory strategy, excess stock = frozen money, wasted costs and effort, and identifying problems in other departments. Using various tools, we map current inventory, costs and metrics. We then review inventory policies and reduce excess stock. Finally, we ensure new management systems are embedded, monitored and improved.

Operational Due Diligence (ODD) improves business results by optimising operations. ODD provides critical insight into how bottlenecks in production can be identified and resolved to increase throughput, streamline inventory management and optimise operating costs for better EBITDA.

Maintenance Excellence proposition transforms your maintenance approach, aligning departments, saving costs and pursuing strategic goals. Our approach reduces downtime, transforms maintenance from cost- to value-based, manages deteriorated assets and optimises resources. Our hands-on methodology is based on ISO 55000 and the Maintenance Excellence framework and delivers measurable results for key metrics.

Increasing capacity at the bottleneck, reducing operational costs or improving service levels can quickly get bogged down in theoretical and academic analysis when what is needed is rapid improvement and action. With a practical and structured approach, we focus and guide the organisation in identifying key losses by exploring what is already available regarding data, knowledge and discussions.
