We’ll spend a few weeks getting to know you and your business. After much conversation and interviews, site visits, data analysis and more, we’ll map out your operations with absolute clarity – backed up with hard data, and free of biases or blind spots. Wherever the inefficiencies and opportunities are hiding, we’ll find them using our battle-tested, scientific approach. Our assessment ends with a full breakdown of what we’re confident we can deliver. We’ll tell you how much you’re losing from the inefficiencies we’ve found, how much of it we can recover for you and how big a commitment any improvement project will be.
After our assessment, we’ll partner up with you to pinpoint the precise cause of each issue and implement the right solutions. We’ll take you through all the practical methods (such as split solving) we use to find and eliminate the kinds of issues – like 1mm discrepancies in the wear on crucial valves, or 0.2s delays in cycle times on your bottleneck machine – that can build up to a big, and negative impact on your PnL. This is usually a 6-18 month process of making operational improvements and seeing them all the way through to the bottom line.
Our projects finish, but our partnerships don’t. You can always give us a call or drop us an email whenever you need support. Little tweaks to the work we’ve done together, coaching team members, strategic advice – we’re here for anything that helps to sustain our positive results into the future.
We’ll look absolutely everywhere for the millions of pounds of savings that can be hiding behind assumptions and complexities. But the most common improvements we make involve:
1. Maximising machine efficiency using PCM and Technical Problem Solving
2. Line balancing to minimise cost per unit
3. Improving planning for production, materials and labour
4. Optimising any trade off between stock levels, EBQ and OEE
5. Increasing levels of control around planning, ordering and deploying labour
6. Cutting waste and increasing process yield
7. Getting a clearer understanding of planning and commercial costings
8. Making sure investments deliver ROI
You’d usually have one partner for consultancy and others for software and hardware. We love finding inefficiencies, and this sounds like an inefficiency to us. Majaco is very proud to partner with both Fighting Fish and Lineview. Fighting Fish helps us produce Continuous Improvement Dashboards and ReportingTools that perfectly complement our on-site delivery. Lineview is our go-to partner when we need rapid deployment of a system to capture and analyse real-time production data.
