Welcome to the web site.
Improving operations brings many benefits but do you have the time or depth of resource to achieve change fully or effectively in house?
That sounds pretty obvious; improving any management system by definition must bring benefits. Looking back at my own experience the last thing I needed when fending off production or 'fire fighting' multiple breakdowns was someone saying "you shouldn't be in this situation in the first place".
I didn't like it because I knew it was true. I didn't have the time or spare expertise I could call upon to be able to stand back and see what really needed doing to achieve a 'step change' in performance. I could not do it myself; I was either patching things to keep going or defending my decisions to the boss who "wouldn't have done it that way".
I needed time and resource to be able to look at the overall picture without getting dragged into the 'nitty gritty'. Through long days and grabbing any quiet time, I started making changes and as if by magic; the reliability of the machines and processes started to improve and I found I had more time and resource for more improvements and so it went on.
Gradually, senior managers and directors started noticing the improvement and I was asked to look around other parts of the organisation as the 'spare' resource or expert I had so wanted myself. I still do it and have recruited a number of similarly minded and experienced associates to help. We; as Colin Sanders Associates now have many years experience in helping leading companies across the UK and Ireland to achieve real change and some outstanding benefits.
As well as operations and maintenance advice and support we also provide management system reviews and evaluation, develop system improvements, mentor, train and most importantly help implement solutions. This includes; risk based management systems, work flows, work instructions and targeted preventive and planned maintenance schedules; we do all this to recognised 'Lean' philosophies.
And just because we haven't mentioned it here; ask. If we don't know how to help or it's not within our areas of expertise we will tell you, chances are though that we might just be the people you are after.
