Sample Results:

Japanese Bio-Tech Firm – HQ asked - why did you wait so long? The Managing Director waited 12 years before engaging us.

Steel Recycling Plant – achieved 50% increase in throughput within 3 months by reorganizing the workflow thus helping the team consistently achieve throughput they had performed only three times before.

Sample Results:

Large Oil and Gas Upstream Producer – Saved $90 million over three years by reprocessing TurnArounds to use redundant equipment during shutdown.
Mid-West Paper Mill - Increased uptime by 3.5% by reducing unscheduled downtime.

Sample Results:

Plastics Raw Material Producer – Identified a 45% imbalance of indirect professionals showing a $23 million in annual savings.
East Coast Refinery Identified $12 million in annual savings in the maintenance department due to 92% passive management behavior, contributing to poor job coordination, resulting in time on tools of 28%. Results lead to a significant reduction in overtime, and a step forward leap in time on tools, and work order backlog reduction.

Approach Modern and Proven

In the 20-plus years of experience in transforming businesses and getting step-change results, a standard approach or method is not the best first step. Every site can be at very different levels of development.  For example, a metal plate recycling plant was sold to a private equity group from a Chinese company. Our approach identified huge variances in output over the previous year. We focused on reorganizing the workflow to the main furnace and were able to achieve a 30-35% increase in output consistently.

A biomedical plant in Ireland was always doing well. Systems, processes, improvement programs, etc., all state of the art. Japanese management techniques, all in place. It took 7 years before the site leader allowed us to look. The main results came from reducing unscheduled downtime of several pieces of high-speed equipment. The business being regulated requires tons of documentation. Because the Ops leader was so fastidious, so were his leads and supervisors. As a result, they weren’t readily available to troubleshoot, train, or properly plan. What unlocked the throughput for them was hiring and training two people to manage the documentation which freed up time for several layers of management. With additional management training and coaching effective management behaviors were ingrained and took root. The results were a natural outcome. The GM shared that leadership in Japan noticed the improvement and asked why he didn’t do this sooner.

If anything is a constant, it’s the need to step back and look at how the team executes. Not just seeing what is supposed to happen but how things actually get done.

Significant savings are being lost by inaction. The recycling plant recovered 11 million dollars in three months. Yearly almost one million a month. Waiting is always losing. Additionally, the amount of frustration and burnout caused by inaction is hard to financially quantify. Supporting your team with professionals will bring positive transformation and results.
