Discover low cost and easy to use ideas to transform your business

Continuous improvement is a great strategy but one, for many businesses, that isn't... well, continuous! This website aims to make it a lot easier to use, manage and benefit from.

Tried and tested ideas

The ideas in my books, blog posts and courses are all based on real world results.

The ideas work regardless of your business sector; manufacturing, construction, services.

Inspiration and experience have come from working in a variety of roles; production engineer, production manager, business director and consultant.

If results are your thing...

What are you wanting to achieve?

Stripped lead times

Do you want to eliminate the delays in your business processes?

Taking 90% of the lead time out of a process isn't uncommon.

Improved OTIF

On Time In Full (OTIF) is a true measure of keeping your delivery promises to your customers.

Higher OTIF can mean more business.

Higher profits

Stop making mistakes that zap your profits, customer good will and staff morale.

Honest continuous improvement will do this.

Happier customers

Making it easier for them to do business with you is good business.

Fewer grumbles, better orders, easier days.

Increased capacity

Naturally raising your capacity is a direct outcome from continuous improvement.

It's cheaper than putting on overtime!

More business

Becoming the 'supplier of choice' for your customers is a great strategy to win new, and more profitable, business.

Continuous improvement is good route to achieve this.
