Are these your questions?

If one of them keeps coming back, it is time to review your company's performance.

💰
Rising costs

Why do our costs rise while our profit margin does not?

⚙️
Recurring bottlenecks

Why does work stall at the same points every time?

♻️
Unmeasured waste

How much time, scrap and rework do we lose without knowing?

What is the program?

Economic uncertainty, tougher competition and fast-paced innovation make it vital to review your company’s performance regularly. Could you be more efficient? Do you need to upgrade? The Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) resolves bottlenecks, reduces cost and helps you reach productivity goals. It is not just about reporting tools. It is about efficiency, and about how to improve your results.

It can be applied to a single process, a department, a division, a process chain or the whole company, and supports every level, from technicians and managers to managing directors and owners.

Our work is finished when the improvement works inside your company, not when the report is delivered.

What do you walk away with?

Not a report that sits in a drawer, but four outputs that work inside your company.

✓

A clear diagnosis

Bottlenecks and improvement areas identified from data and observation.

✓

Alternative solutions

Options to raise productivity and cut costs, and the choice between them is yours.

✓

An action plan

Who does what and when, the investment required, and how it is rolled out.

✓

A trained team

Your team trained, with follow-up to confirm the improvements work as intended.

A four-step process

It takes you from your needs to an implemented solution. Its length depends on the project.

1

Define

A productivity team identifies bottlenecks and areas for improvement and compiles data from observation and existing documents. We present the results and continue with your approval.

2

Design & recommend

After analysing the results, the team proposes alternative solutions for higher productivity and lower cost in the targeted areas.

3

Validate

We test and verify the preferred solutions with you, and provide a full report as the basis for your decision, with time for you to review and request changes.

4

Deploy

Together we build a detailed plan: who does what and when, what investment is needed, and how the roll-out is carried out. We train your people and follow up to make sure the improvements work as intended.

Note: implementation is quoted separately from the diagnostic report.

How we begin

Every collaboration starts with a clear diagnosis, not a ready-made offer.

1

Self-check

The brochure includes a twelve-point self-check. Note what applies to your company and bring it to the first conversation.

2

Advisory hour

A focused session on the decision or problem in front of you. Requested from the “Work With Me” page.

3

Diagnosis and scoping

We agree on scope, duration and fees before any further work. Fees depend on the size and complexity of the project.

4

Program or mentoring

We run the program, or you choose mentoring and contract advisory, or writing services such as business plans.

Frequently asked questions

How is PIP different from an ordinary consulting report?

Our work ends when the improvement works inside your company, not when the report is delivered. The program runs from diagnosis through implementation, training and follow-up.

Is it suitable for a single process or a small company?

Yes. It can be applied to one process, a department, a sector, a chain of processes or the whole company, at every level from technicians to business owners.

Which track should I choose?

"Business & Management" covers strategy, management, operations, finance, marketing and HR. "Manufacturing & Production" covers waste, setup time, equipment efficiency and capacity planning. If you are unsure, start with the self-check or contact me.

How long does it take and what are the fees?

Duration and fees depend on the size and complexity of the project. We agree the scope, duration and fees before any further work.

Is implementation included in the diagnosis report?

No. Implementation is priced separately from the diagnosis report, and after the report you decide whether to proceed.

What should I bring to the first session?

The brochure includes a twelve-item self-check. Note what applies to your company and bring it to the first conversation.
