What if you could increase employee productivity by 57%?
A family run point of sale manufacturer struggled to earn a decent profit. This was despite earning an average turnover of £11 million. Then came a recession in their sector. After a problem trading-year, sales dropped to £9.9 million. The result was a hefty loss of £913,000. What was urgently needed was rapid productivity growth and turnaround to stave off insolvency.
As a countermeasure the directors adopted a Hoshin Kanri improvement programme. The first step in this initiative was a comprehensive Business Health Check This extensive feedback exercise revealed hundreds of problems that needed addressing. The follow-up team based improvement workshops involved extensive and meticulous improvement planning. Within a couple of weeks the team was working 50 plus improvement projects, all of which collectively turned the situation around.
Rapid productivity growth and turnaround
The outcome for the following year was a 57% increase in productivity which helped convert the the £913,000 loss into a £320,000 profit.
