TSR Leadership were asked to assess factories in the UK and Europe by a multinational food company

the assessment identified the scale of the opportunity for operational improvements across the manufacturing sites

TSR Leadership's approach for operational excellence was adopted within a UK factory and a European factory to demonstrate proof of concept and pilot the operational changes

within a single area of one of the company's factories an extra 367 production hours of capacity were released through improvements using operational excellence

this capacity increase was translated into top line sales growth

in total, 36 manufacturing sites adopted the operational excellence approach to release available capacity that had previously been wasted with machinery breakdowns, product changeovers, frequent short stops and quality defects

the reliability and consistency of the improved supply chain allowed the business to make strategic decisions to ensure its continued profitability, to investment in new products and to make necessary transformations to continue delivering quality products to customers at optimum prices
