Manufacturing case studies

The case studies below demonstrate our capabilities in sectors such as packaging, engineering, construction products and medical devices.

Don't change for lean's sake: Lean manufacturing
There is no doubt that lean thinking is driving massive changes in manufacturing processes worldwide.  It lies at the heart of measurable improvements in quality, reliability and performance. What lean is not, however, is a magic formula that solves manufacturing issues in one easy application. 

The backbone of a better business: IT integration
IT integration is not a luxury. Growth by acquisition has resulted in a mass of disparate systems for many major manufacturers.  The situation is usually manageable when member companies operate autonomously.  When, however, the group wants to move forward as a unified whole, common financial reporting is simply not enough. 

The secrets of swift and successful acquisition: Mergers & Aquisition
Today, the M&A climate is undoubtedly difficult.  The recent disposal of a large, diverse plastics and packaging company proves, however, that it is still possible to complete major transactions fast and efficiently while satisfying the priorities of both the shareholders and the businesses involved. 

Strengthening the supply chain: Supply Chain Management
Optimising the supply chain is one of today’s hot topics.  Supply chain inefficiency is a key cause of unnecessary costs and poor delivery performance.  There is no doubt, however, that far-reaching, end-to-end projects demand a complex blend of process, IT and financial skills and involve people at virtually every level.
