Services – Local Manufacturing Advisory Service

WE MEASURE IN VALUE ADDED AND NOT JUST IN COST SAVING; MANY BUSINESSES HAVE BENEFITTED FROM OUR EXPERIENCE FROM COMPLETE BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION TO SMALL PROJECTS

Business Support

What
Are you looking to take your business forwards but not sure how? LMAS works with business owners to develop a plan for change.

How
Every business is different and therefore using the same pre-determined set of tools may not be effective, we develop a tailored approach for your business. By focusing on the challenges manufacturers are facing daily LMAS will support you in creating a road map for change. Often, we will find businesses are faced with repeated patterns so our advisors will work alongside your production team to evaluate, re-map and introduce new methods to break this cycle. From achieving right first time to evaluating why staff retention is poor, there are many reasons for challenges being repeated, but together we can overcome these to support your growth.

Benefit
Gain external advice from highly experienced manufacturing advisors, who understand the workplace, we know and have experienced the high pressures and tensions of SME’s first hand.

MANUFACTURING CONSULTANCY

What
You want advice from people who understand your challenges. At LMAS we have a lifetime of experience working inside and running manufacturing sites, so we know the success and we also understand the challenges. Scars and tee shirts aside we can offer real advice and support to your issue.

How
To begin we start with a simple conversation, where we will discuss what you are facing; be this process re-engineering, production flow or supply chain.

Benefit
Get to the answers you need quickly. Our advice is practical, hands on and we will help your business solve some of the challenges you are too busy to deal with, or too close to spot how to overcome. This means you can keep growing and overcome the barriers to success.

Lean Transformation

What
Increase production capacity and save on labour. Manufacturing Lean is a methodology used to reduce waste in a manufacturing system without sacrificing productivity.

To unlock potential and maximise performance by helping people to learn, develop and grow. Demonstrating a commitment to help people make transitions in knowledge, work and thinking helps drive individual development leading to both increased performance and productivity throughout the business.

LEADERSHIP, COACHING & MENTORING

What
Anyone who has to lead people will have doubts and concerns, taking real life scenarios and engaging these with a coach or mentor is infinitely better than reading about it in a book!

This is much more commonplace in the USA and confident leaders understand it’s ok to ask for support where you need it. After all none of our us are expert at everything.

How
Working alongside the leader is a powerful way to develop your skills. It’s often said ‘it’s lonely at the top’. This is much more about decision making, after all who do you get to ask? With LMAS we’re here to help with the tough answers and our wealth of experience means that you don’t have to do this on your own.

Benefit
Genuine collaboration from an LMAS mentor quickly find answers from someone who has wider insights from other business, gain confidence in your decision making and make those vital decisions quicker to drive your business forward.
