| Industry:Heavy Engineering |
| Client:VSEL |
| Location:UK |
| Nature of work:Shipbuilding |
| Problem:Loss of market share, losing in competitive bidding being undercut on both price and delivery by lower skill based rivals. Employees being laid off at the rate of 500 every six months. |
| Solution:Company wide Hoshin Kanri programme integrated with TQM |
Benefits: From being in a very weak position in the market place, the company transformed in less than 2 years to becoming the winner of a very high profile contract providing more than 10 years work against severe competition from a consortium involving some of the UKs largest organisations. Through the pplication of the methods taught by us, they also manged to save a major Government contract from severe loss and penalties for late delivery to a nett profit situation and delivery to time and cost. There were also very significant cost savings on many other projects. Significant reductions in the time tand cost to delivery on a wide range of work. |
