Beating The Recession

With so much change during 2008, it is difficult to predict what will happen in 2009. The experience of past recessions suggests that when things stabilise "business as usual" will look different than it did in 2008. To survive and prosper organisations will need to be responsive to new trends and business models.

To stack the odds in your favour we have developed a100 day profit improvement programme guide (Click here) containing a 10 point organisational health check and 10 low cost or no cost projects to improve profitability, cash flow, release time and focus the organisation on improving performance in key areas.

The content is based on our experience of helping well known and award winning organisations to achieve long term year on year improvement in performance. The web site also contains details of how such organisations are able to engage their organisation with the improvement process (Click here).

The guide is completely free and you are under no obligation to use our services but we can offer a flexible package of support if you need it Click here to find out more.

Lean TPM

The 100 day programme above provides an excellent foundation for applying Lean TPM improvement tools to deliver best in class performance. No matter where your organisation is on its journey to operational excellence, Lean TPM improvement templates will help your organisation to:

  • improve asset reliability and support progress towards zero breakdowns and beyond;
  • support business process improvement and the reduction of non value adding activities;
  • build front line team capability to improve performance, establish and refine best practices;
  • Improve the pace of delivery of new products, equipment, processes or systems;
  • Develop Innovative/step out products and services.

Click on the blue text to fInd out about how Lean TPM provides an enterprise wide improvement route map based on the lessons learned by organisations who have achieved long term award winning levels of performance and market leading capability.
