Graham has returned from his break. 
If you want to see the pictures of his walks go to http://walk.bredhurstchurch.org.uk.

Debbie Hughes is now managing 1PF's commercial activities, accounts, etc., leaving Graham free to enjoy doing plant visits.

Marilyn is somewhat recovered from her illness and will progressively take over leadership of the Big Society projects from Graham.

We are fully booked for factory consultancy work through till next January but may be able to find the odd few days for a really interesting project, especially one in the UK.  Please contact DebbieHughes for this or any other queries.

Beth has "graduated" to a charity in London

Welcome to Jo Grant who joins us for the Big Society projects.  A midwife by profession, Jo's later career took her into pharmaceutical sales.  Jo will be delivering courses and working with Sarah on the Family Matters project.

Graham is taking a short break from work to deal with a family illness and then to do some study.  He returns at the end of March.  Whilst booked through most of the subsequent months he does have some availability, please contact DebbieHughes for this or any other queries.

 

4 November 2011

The first Volunteer Management course was very well received, with every mark on every feedback as "outstanding".  We will be running more of these; please contact Sarahfor more details.

More new customers mean that we are very busy.  Our partners at Orbital Training and Consultancy are searching for experienced Lean Senseis to work with us; please contact Debbieif you're interested.

 

 

Questions we can help you answer:

 

Do you really think Six Sigma will solve all your problems?  It might but we can teach you much simpler and faster techniques that can be learnt and used by anyone, not just a few specialists.  One recent solution took 15 minutes to eliminate a 2 year old 40% rework rate on an assembly line. 

 

Think you're Lean?  Spend a day with us and learn to really see the waste in your process and the opportunity for improvement.

 

Who's the most important person in your organisation.  OK, the correct answer is "the team member" but the truth is that the success of your operation depends almost entirely on the calibre of your operations managers - the people who actually run the factories, the departments, the wards, the shops, the warehouses, etc.  Get this right and you won't need an army of bureaucrats to measure and pester them.  Get it wrong and you're out of business.  We can mentor and develop your key people without subjecting them to hours of wasteful classroom "training".

 

How do you set up a network of 30 pre-primary schools in East Africa with a budget of less than £5000?  That's £5000 in total.  We can show you and you can learn how to apply the lessons learned to your organisation.
