Lean Training
Our bespoke Lean training is tailored to your specific requirements. This is a great starting position to bridge the knowing and doing gap.
Coaching for Leaders
Working closely, on a 1×1 basis, with Leaders we transfer knowledge and skills to help successfully deliver business improvement programmes.
Managing Lean Projects
We work with your Leaders, staff and change agents to develop plans and deliver sustainable change, right first time.
Operational excellence. For manufacturing and healthcare.
MANAGING FLOW
Healthcare: Perhaps the most critical element in reducing length of stay. Applied effectively, Lean principles significantly cut delays and improve patient flow.
Manufacturing: Flow drives lead time and WIP. We cut lead time from 2 weeks to 14 minutes and reduced WIP by 65% — freeing up floor space and cash tied up in stock.
PROCESS REDESIGN
Healthcare: Working with clinicians and non-clinicians, pathways are redesigned to improve patient experience, cut waiting times and eliminate waste.
Manufacturing: The same applies to production processes and value streams. We cut distance travelled by 55% and reduced parts in arrears to zero through process redesign.
MANAGING CHANGE
We are experienced with managing large and small scale transformation projects. There are three key questions that need to be answered.
1. Where are we now? (operationally and strategically)
2. Where do we need to be? (where are we heading)
3. What is my specific role in this? (from a staff view)
CAPACITY & UTILISATION
Healthcare: Improving clinical utilisation, minimising empty slots and reducing DNAs is achievable using process mapping, problem solving and other key Lean tools.
Manufacturing: The same tools apply to machine and cell utilisation. We delivered a 65% set-up time reduction and implemented TPM to cut unplanned downtime.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Developing in-house improvement capability is a cost-effective way to improve overall organisation performance across quality, lead times and cost.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
A critical element of any change programme is the importance of knowing who to include, when, how and in what way. We can help you develop a robust plan to succeed with your transformation projects.

For Sustainable, Measurable Improvement
With years of hands-on delivery experience across manufacturing and healthcare, we know how to find the problem, fix it properly and make the change stick.
- Feeling the pressure to improve productivity but not sure where to start?
- Know something needs to change but not sure how to make it happen?
- Ready to improve — but need someone who’s done it before, not just talked about it?
