We are an execution-focused consulting company. Our work does not end with a large diagnostics report and a long list of recommended actions. We believe in having skin in the game! So we will be with you to see through the implementation and delivery of results. And a large part of our fee is directly linked to the results produced.
We collaborate with you to increase sales and profits by an order of magnitude through the application of Theory of Constraints. Our expertise is in changing & aligning measurements, shrinking lead time and working capital, crashing cash to cash cycle time, and most importantly increasing prices. In most cases, significant results are visible in the first 100 days.
Our Engagement process – The TOC Way
TOC solutions are inherently simple, yet implementing them is often not easy. In fact, they are very powerful due largely to the fact that they challenge basic assumptions, measurements, and policies that may have underpinned the organizations for years.
What to Expect
Each TOC Implementation Project is specifically tailored to improve the financial performance of the organization based upon it’s ambitions and needs. This is usually achieved by increasing the top line or by reducing working capital requirements such as inventory and bills receivable (never by cutting costs). We achieve breakthrough results by addressing one or more critical operational issue such as:
- Ensuring on-time customer delivery
- Eliminating stock-outs
- Controlling inventory
- Crashing cycle times
- Aggressive collection follow-up
- Expanding plant capacity
- Project delivery/scope/budget acceleration
- Premium pricing for defined segments
- Expanding plant capacity while avoiding major capital investments
- Growing sales volume
TOC implementation involves significant changes to various core processes such as scheduling and production control, procurement, finance, HR, IT, marketing, sales, and/or distribution (as applicable). It also requires aligning key measurements from the top down.
To achieve the desired results, the senior management must be fully committed to modifying their existing way of working as required to cause the change in their organization. Is your organization ready to take on the challenge?
