Our client was looking to increase overall manufacturing output by updating operating processes and procedures without jeopardising responsiveness to customer orders and demands – considered to be their competitive advantage.

We drew on our extensive experience in the automotive and manufacturing sectors to develop a world-class quality and manufacturing system to sustainably grow operations. Over 26 weeks, we implemented a lean manufacturing improvement program to increase performance across a number of specific project streams, including labour productivity, equipment productivity, inventory management and plant management.
RESULT
We delivered a 500% increase in output per week, a 77% reduction in average lead time from work order to pack, and ISO 9001 system implementation and certification.
