OPS
Operations Diagnostic
Production planning, throughput, labour deployment and cost control on the factory or farm floor — where the line actually loses time, as opposed to where the OEE report says it does.
Duration:
5–8 weeks
Category:
Cost and working capital
You are probably here because:
What you get
A cost-per-unit model built from your own data, at a level of detail your accounts do not currently reach, and one your team can maintain after I have gone. A constraint map showing where output is genuinely lost, with hours and money against each point. A ranked list of interventions with estimated value and payback, separated into what costs nothing, what costs management attention, and what costs capital. An implementation plan your own managers can run, with the items that need outside help marked as such.
Who it is for
Site and operations directors, and owner-managers of production businesses, where unit cost is the number under pressure and the cause is contested rather than obvious.
