Our 3-Stage Strategy Development Proposition & Progressive Transformation Process is designed to address the 21st Century strategic challenges head-on by:

Developing and implementing people-centric corporate/business strategy process (putting people at the centre of strategy development process)

Ensuring logical/rational relationships, integration and engagement between people across the organization

Setting in motion the true integration of corporate/business strategy and business processes

Our proposition is strategically-focused – developing/creating core competences, strategies and “Centres-of-Excellence” fit for the knowledge-based “Built-to-Last Culture”.

Our aim is to give your organisation the route-map to become a Strategic Intelligent Enterprise; one that can adapt to changing circumstances by 'Learning-at-Speed' and stay ahead of the competition by a process of continuous improvement & constant regeneration.

Why have Processes?

The term "process" captures the firm's strategic intent and its continuous learning into business activities that are strategically focused, efficiently conducted and dynamically adjustable

Processes are the key enabler for improving business productivity and profitability. They do so by enabling the firm to perform its business activities much more efficiently and responsively, and at a much lower transaction and operational cost, than if those business activities are performed on an ad-hoc basis without using well defined & engineered Business Processes

Toyota has identified eight major types of “non-value-adding” waste in its business operations, which are briefly described below for reference (“The Toyota Way”, Jeffrey Liker, 2004).

According to Fujio Cho, President of Toyota Motors, many good American companies have respect for individuals, and practice 'Kaizen' (the Japanese Continuous Improvement System) and other TPS & Lean Production tools/methods. He goes on to argue, however, that what propels Toyota to the top, above its all competitors, is having all the business elements together as a fully “end-to-end” integrated business system. Mr Cho insists that to maintain this advantage, it is essential that Toyota's business system is continually adhered to in a consistent and concrete way. The only way that Toyota can ensure this happens each & every day is through designing & deploying fully integrated “end-to-end” business & operational processes.

Over Production

producing items for which there are no orders; in the process generating other forms of waste including over-staffing, additional storage and transportation requirements and extra capital costs (excess inventory etc).

Waiting (Time-on-Hand)

workers merely serving to watch an automated machine or having to stand around (waiting for the next processing step, tools, supply parts, etc.) or simply having no work to do at all because of stock-outs, processing delays, equipment down-time and capacity bottlenecks.

Unnecessary Transport or Conveyance

carrying work-in-process (WIP) long distances or moving materials, parts, finished-goods into or out of storage between processes.

Over Processing or incorrect Processing

taking unneeded steps to process the tasks; inefficiently processing due to poor tools and product design, causing unnecessary motion and producing defects; generating waste by providing higher-quality products than necessary

Excess Inventory

excess raw material, or overly stockpiled finished goods, resulting in longer lead-times, risks of obsolescence and damage, additional transportation and storage costs and delays. Excess inventory also hides problems such as production imbalance, late deliveries from suppliers, defects, equipment down-time, and long set-up times.

Unnecessary Work effort

any wasted work employees perform during the course of their working-hours. This might include looking for things and information, reaching for things and information or tools, and unnecessary communication.

Defects

anything that requires unnecessary duplication or re-work effort to correct problems in products or services results in a waste of resources, a decline in productivity, additional capital costs, a de-motivated and demoralized workforce, and dissatisfied customers resulting in “loss-of-potential-business” opportunities.

Unused Employee Creativity

losing time, ideas, skills, capabilities, potential improvements and learning opportunities by not engaging or listening to your employees.
