We offer: Improvement leadership ● Coaching ● Technical mentoring ● New system design support ● Training delivery ● Instructional design ● Process mapping facilitation and training ● Value stream mapping facilitation and training ● Improvement event design and facilitation.
We are coaches who specialise in engineering and transactional process improvement. Our expertise comes from working in the international aerospace and marine industries. We've held senior improvement leadership roles: Lean Sensei, Six Sigma Master Black Belt and Robust Design Master Black Belt. We led global improvement and lean leadership programmes that delivered in excess of £10M in booked benefits and created enduring cultural change. We have developed people in the UK, Europe, the USA and India. We are proud of our ability to transfer our skills and knowledge, delivering independent improvement capability.
Lean Systems Thinking is a straightforward and practical approach for improving processes, products and systems. The people involved form a vital part of the activities. Lean Systems Thinking allows teams to develop a deep understanding of the current and required future states, remove waste and solve problems holistically. Working with the stakeholders produces sustainable changes and winning solutions. It enables better lean leadership, improved process flow and the ability to design new systems.
Improvement leadership begins with the right behaviours and skills. Lean leaders learn how to see waste, even when it's hidden inside the flow of electronic data. They become adept at taking the right actions. They operate as coaches, not taskmasters. They create a compelling vision and engage their teams with the improvement plans. Lean leaders develop a culture where teams welcome change and offer discretionary effort.
Lean processes are more efficient and effective. Teams who map processes together generate shared insight and agreement about the changes that need to be made. Problems are solved faster by working cooperatively with stakeholders to identify their root causes and implement solutions. Flow can be enhanced by creating systems and standards to manage and error-proof activities. Team continuous improvement practice can be embedded to improve everyone's daily life at work.
An organisation may need a new process, system or product to allow it to move ahead. Put the people involved at the centre of the system design process. Use systems thinking and robust design to identify the best all-round solution. Generate innovative concepts in partnership with the team's stakeholders. Identify what causes variation, and understand its impact. Model and analyse behaviour to improve design choices. Identify the robust optimal solution design. Verify its future performance in operation. Ensure that the real requirements and priorities have been met.
