Downturn Readiness Review

Lean into the downturn

Cut costs and release cash

Lean manufacturing is proven to cut down on waste, reduce production lead times, improve stock levels to free up vital cash flow and reduce exposure to debts. It could be the perfect antidote to the credit crunch.

Through the adoption of lean practices you can be sure that everything is working efficiently for you, from cash and equipment right through to your suppliers and stock levels.

MAS provides a free and impartial review of your business and current manufacturing processes to identify opportunities to reduce waste and release cash.

‘MAS has been invaluable in taking the business forward. Lean is being used to great effect. Our production levels are now much more consistent and customer lead times have been improved by 20%, along with a five per cent increase in gross margin. This means we have the capacity to expand.’

Francis Russell,
Managing Director, Francis Russell Designs

‘We have made a great deal of really positive improvements working with the MAS specialist. The MAS process was key to galvanising the team. Productivity has since risen by nearly 30% and we have made over £90k in savings as well as seeing a big difference to team morale.’

Richard Miller,
Managing Director, Halstock Cabinet Makers

‘The MAS’ strategic review of our business has proved extremely helpful in focusing our thoughts. With their support, we have been able to look at our business afresh and choose the best routes for sales growth. Thanks to MAS’ help, we are now on course to increase our turnover by 400% by the end of this year.’
