How much cash do we waste by poor planning?

"It was obvious we couldn't move machines in once the

ducts were installed -- but no-one warned the ducting

contractor! It cost £15,000 to dismantle the ductwork

and re-erect it after the machines were in place."
 

"After a two-week delay, they admitted they couldn't get

low-loader transport for the new machine. Our start-up

was over a month late, and cost us £30,000 in lost sales."
 

How much do we lose annually by inefficiency?
 

"The new fettling machine will never achieve its rated

speed -- but we'd paid up before we found out. Now

they've gone bankrupt, we're stuck with the

situation; our entire plant throughput is down by 20%."

How many time-bombs are ticking in our plant?
 

"The new equipment works well -- but you can't see

what's happening from the control desk. It's an accident

just waiting to happen..."
  

What have we got to lose by approaching you?
 

That's a very good question. You have absolutely

nothing to lose by arranging an exploratory discussion;

you can only gain from our experience.
