The assessment PS56 made of our production line has proved to be very useful and informative. Using the model to test various changes and seeing the impact before making the investment has helped us enormously, we will definitely be implementing the recommendations made by the team at PS56
Production Support 56 were brought in late to the project and quickly produced an accurate simulation of our design which was run with the client historic production data. They proved the design met all our clients’ requirements and helped us optimise and removed significant costs. The client loved the model demonstration and subsequent what-if games.
Production Support 56 have helped us create an accurate, visual representation of our production line. They have used our data and created a model to help us see where there are any restrictions or bottle-necks. We used this data to help us make value-adding decisions to improve the production process, saving valuable resources. The model… can also be enhanced to provide further insights with regards to other costs and how proposed changes would impact the current setup. Computer Modelling is a valuable tool, not usually available to smaller businesses, and generally quite misunderstood. Mike & James made gathering the data simple and easy. They are friendly and are genuinely interested in assisting companies to add value. The project was a real joy to work with, it has left us with a lot of ideas. We hope to work with them again in the future. Read more “Making the most out of your resources”
The guys at PS56 made some cracking procedures which we use all the time especially with the new staff. It means I’m not on the shop floor every 10 minutes and I’ve got more time to deal with my big clients. They also helped smarten up the way we organise work so everybody knows what… they are doing and things work a lot smoother. They have really helped my business and I’m looking forward to working with them again. Read more “Saved the business 140 hours per month”
We engaged PS56 as consultants as we were working with a number of clients needing specialist production support. The modelling software enabled the businesses to make educated choices prior to undertaking costly production moves and also gave valuable supporting evidence for capex approval. The process was extremely well organised, it happened in a timely manner… and they produced legible, fact based results. I would highly recommend the PS56 team and look forward to working with them on more projects in the future. Read more “Extremely well Organised, fact based results”
Production Support 56 delivered an engaging Lean Six Sigma training program for our staff at PPS Midlands across various teams in sales, production and finance. All the team members thoroughly enjoyed the course which gave each department a clear understanding of Lean concepts and a host of ready to use tools. The course was delivered… very precisely with great enthusiasm and fun team working exercises which helped to demonstrate some of the trickier concepts of variation and inconsistency and how these can be improved using Lean and Six Sigma tools Read more “Delivered Precisely with great enthusiasm”
