Helping you resolve your stubborn business challenges
previewing some of the main services that Greybeard Academy are famous for....
Product or Process Quality problems
We have particular strengths in applying analytical techniques to understand and then permanently eliminate quality problems. We can design and deploy quality performance metrics for use in the various stages of your processes, visually model your performance trends and characteristics and where necessary use statistics, 6 Sigma or root cause analysis to define and then eliminate the issues within your processes
Need more Capacity?
We can help you get more from less; with the facilities that you already own. Whilst capital investments can provide their own benefits, we can often release you the same increases in capacity or improvements in capability through developing the performance of your existing plant and equipment
On-time Delivery Problems
We have a particularly strong and practical grasp of how volume of work, batching rules, organisation of workflow and prioritization affect lead-times. We can quickly and easily determine the scale of improvements available and develop and then deliver practical actions for speeding up the flow of work
Equipment Reliability Problems
The design and establishment of an effective suite of Maintenance processes, as part of an effective Total Productive Maintenance approach, is one of our areas of specialism. We can provide invaluable guidance on moving towards 1st line Maintance, 5S Systems, Condition Monitoring, Planned Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, Spares Management and the delivery of reliability enhancement improvements. All this is generally overseen by an effective suite of performance measures to enable the optimisation of site Maintenance
Establish local Continuous Imrovement Approach
The deployment of meaningful performance measures and targets within operational and functional departments is the foundation of effective, sustainable business improvement. We can then establish performance management & improvement routines to provide teams with a simple Continuous improvement mechanism and the basic Lean Tools & Techniques to empower them to achieve their local performance challenges
Struggling with that New Product Introduction
We have a supurb track record in helping client companies through major New Product Introduction programmes. We can either develop effective, in-house APQP and PPAP processes for you and train your staff in the intricacies of successful deployment or we can provide interim Leadership support to guide you through the process on-site until you have developped enough capability and confidence to fly solo.
