INCREASING THROUGHPUT, SALES, AND PROFITS

INCREASING THROUGHPUT, SALES, AND PROFITS

Obstacles—or, in theoretical terms, constraints—are of two types: external, when market research, marketing, or sales are stalled; or internal, when obstacles lie within the company’s projects or processes.

Quality, speed, and flow are the most important factors for any manufacturing business. Our consulting services are designed to ensure the desired quality, speed, and uninterrupted flow.

Although every company faces its own challenges—some struggle with inventory management, others have difficulty managing projects, and still others fail to secure a sufficient volume of orders—the challenge is essentially the same for all: how to ensure the greatest possible uninterrupted flow of products, money, or other resources in the shortest possible time.

VALUE OF CONSULTING:

We identify the bottleneck and where it lies—external or internal. If the bottleneck is internal, we determine whether the company operates in a process-oriented or project-oriented environment

Top and middle management receive recommendations and tools to implement the necessary changes, as well as support during implementation

The company, without committing to an employment relationship, gains the expertise of an experienced manager to accurately identify the problem and improve operations

THE SERVICE CONSISTS OF SEVERAL STEPS:

DIAGNOSIS

We diagnose the company’s actual problem: the obstacle hindering its growth

GOAL

Next, we define the goal—what the company wants to achieve or resolve

PLAN

A plan is developed to address the company’s primary constraint

CHANGES

With the consultant’s assistance, the company implements fundamental changes, improves its operations, and enhances its performance metrics

All business improvement methodologies have a lot in common: they drive change, require in-depth analysis and knowledge, have their own “buzzwords”—terminology unique to them—and, ultimately, they all claim to be the best! However, in reality, they all address the same thing—your company’s process management—they simply specialize in specific areas. Nevertheless, there is no single perfect methodology that has all the answers and can solve all your problems.

Agile, Adizes, TQM (Total Quality Management), TOC (Theory of Constraints), Lean, the Toyota Production System, Lean Six Sigma, Scrum, Kanban, the one-stop-shop principle, and other profit-boosting methodologies offer tools for specific areas.

Lean helps eliminate unnecessary elements from the workflow, thereby reducing waste. If Lean had a slogan, it might be “we don’t save, but we don’t waste.” The primary effect of implementing Lean is reduced cycle time. Six Sigma helps improve processes by reducing variation and deviations. This is most noticeable in manufacturing processes, where output becomes more consistent. This methodology ensures process stability. Finally, TOC helps identify bottlenecks—areas in production that need to be changed—and successfully manages constraints. As throughput increases, profits begin to grow.
