Reduce Costs
Our discovery & design process provides a clear picture of your organisation’s environment and culture. We use this insight to create a customised implementation plan that engages your people in meaningful change.
At the core of our approach are eight cost reduction levers. We tailor the right mix of these levers to address key operational challenges while embedding a culture of sustained improvement.
Cost deployment identifies and prioritises cost drivers of production or maintenance losses. By focusing on operational realities, it enables targeted initiatives to reduce waste and enhance profitability.
- Our approach: We perform a data-driven analysis of operational losses and map them to cost structures. By prioritising key areas and implementing targeted interventions, we eliminate inefficiencies and focus on high-impact areas for rapid cost savings.
- Cost impact: Cost deployment is highly focused on identifying and addressing specific cost drivers, enabling quick wins and significant cost savings by reducing waste and streamlining resource allocation.
Value Stream Analysis maps the end-to-end flow of materials and information to eliminate inefficiencies and optimise costs.
- Our approach: We use a systematic mapping process to identify value-added and non-value-added activities, visualising and pinpointing opportunities for cost reductions. This includes mapping variation flows, decision-making criteria, IT systems and platforms, and resources.
- Cost impact: Value stream analysis effectively targets bottlenecks, failure demand, and critical process steps to reduce cycle times and improve quality, enabling quick improvements in operational efficiency. It achieves cost savings by optimising resource allocation, minimising inventory holding costs, reducing rework, and reducing lead times.
Waste Reduction Kaizen targets and eliminates workflow inefficiencies to minimise costs and improve operational efficiency.
- Our approach: We conduct rapid improvement events to engage frontline teams in identifying and eliminating waste through structured problem-solving routines. Immediate changes are implemented as ‘tests of change’ to streamline processes, focusing on the seven types of waste (overproduction, waiting, transport, extra processing, inventory, motion, and defects). At the same time, we design longer-term interventions that require more planning or decision-making prior to implementation.
- Cost impact: Waste reduction Kaizen delivers quick wins by rapidly reducing inefficiencies. It achieves cost savings through enhanced productivity, reduced cycle times, and optimised resource utilisation.
Cost of Poor Quality Analysis (COPQ) quantifies hidden costs of defects and rework, driving corrective actions to reduce financial impact.
- Our approach: Our data-driven approach begins by identifying process and asset failure modes, then measuring the costs associated with poor quality, including rework, scrap, warranty claims, and customer dissatisfaction. We conduct root cause analysis to identify ‘points of cause’ and use implementation assessments to prioritise preventive measures that eliminate recurring quality issues.
- Cost impact: COPQ Analysis reduces hidden costs by identifying and removing sources of quality loss, preventing defects, and minimising rework. It achieves cost savings through improved product reliability, reduced quality control efforts, warranty claims, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
Lean Manufacturing streamlines production processes to minimise waste, reduce costs, and increase profitability.
- Our approach: We integrate lean principles and tools, such as Just-in-Time (JIT), Error Proofing, Kanban, Visual Management, and 5S, to improve flow, eliminate waste, and optimise resource utilisation over a production or manufacturing value stream. We develop routines and capabilities that foster a culture of continuous improvement by empowering employees to identify and eliminate inefficiencies.
- Cost impact: Lean manufacturing achieves significant cost savings by minimising waste and friction in the process, reducing inventory holding costs, and enhancing resource utilisation. It also improves productivity and profitability through streamlined operations.
TPM-Zero Loss Journey (including autonomous maintenance and preventive maintenance) reduces equipment-related costs by proactively preventing breakdowns and optimising maintenance practices involving operator engagement and development.
- Our approach: By combining operator-led autonomous maintenance with preventive strategies, we help maximise equipment uptime and reliability.
