Business Sectors We Work With
Manufacturing
For Australian manufacturers to compete effectively against overseas labour they must adopt sound leadership and productivity methodologies. We have helped many manufacturers to minimise waste, shorten lead times, increase capacity, improve quality and reduce downtime. Our facilitators include some of Australia’s most experienced lean-six sigma practitioners with experience across all types of manufacturing including FMCG, Food and Beverage, Jobbing Shops and General Manufacturing.
Logistics & Warehousing
Organisations with sales, warehousing, picking and distribution at the core of their operations have always been a large part of our customer base. Our expertise in warehouse management, kanban replenishment, pull methodologies and staging of shipments has helped many businesses to organise and streamline their operations, reducing stockouts, increasing productivity and improving safety and morale.
Federal, State & Local Government
Budgets are always constrained and the need to do more with the sane or fewer resources remains an ongoing challenge for government agencies. The potential benefits of applying lean thinking to government processes has been proved beyond doubt across Australian Government. Improvements we can support include engaging teams and aligning them to departmental goals, creating a culture of process ownership, simplifying complex processes, speeding up work flow and improving quality of outcomesPast clients include The ATO, The Australian Federal Police, The Victoria Police, The Edward River Council and The Department of Immigration to name just a few.
Financial Services & Banking
Lean-Six Sigma tools have been benefiting financial services for many years and it is widely accepted that good process equals competitiveness and profits in this process driven sector. We assist teams to gain insights into how work and information flow across a business and how to identify improvement opportunities. We also help to embed standard work practices, visualise KPIs, and simplify complex processes.Typical results are reduced process lead time, elimination of unnecessary process steps, aligning of processes to sound governance and improved quality of outcomes.
