4. ... Our Customer Value Proposition

5. . . . don’t leave it to chance
The current economic climate is extremely challenging;
businesses must continually reinvent themselves to stay ahead
of their competition. Change is never easy, but is entirely
necessary in today’s operating environment. Sadly, many
change programmes and improvement initiates are
unsuccessful, with the main cause often cited as ‘people’ or
‘culture’. . .
Turneround Consultancy Ltd. has the winning formula which will transform your
business, helping you make the right changes happen quickly and effectively
allowing you to successfully transform both your people and processes.
Naturally products and services must be tailored to each individual client’s requirements, however
typically we will help you to map the ‘current state’ and then facilitate the creation of an
improvement plan which is, of course, highly ambitious, but also realistic and achievable within the
desired time frame. Following this, Turneround can offer further facilitation / project management
service packages to manage all or part of the improvement plan through to fruition as well as
delivering bespoke development and training modules as required.

6. ... A new chapter

7. ... A new chapter
The world of manufacturing has progressed significantly since the mid 1900s when Taiichi Ohno first
created the Toyota Production System and laid the foundations of the modern Lean manufacturing
movement. Many ‘textbook’ lean systems fail to achieve their potential as the theory has not been
adapted sufficiently to accommodate the unique context for a given product / process or to meet
modern legislative requirements. Too many organisations who have worked hard to make the ‘lean
transition’ add significant cost and time by revisiting / re-engineering their process to mitigate safety ,
quality and environmental issues, ultimately leading to a compromised system.
Today's manufacturing organisations require an all-encompassing system which embraces the lean
philosophy but applies it pragmatically and has a greater emphasis on improving safety and
quality whilst reducing environmental impact . . .

people return to previous practices. Turneround can help you to ‘make it stick’ by empowering and
developing teams to not only safeguard each improvement increment but to actively drive further
improvement as part of their daily routine.
