Scott-Grant Limited

Scott-Grant The home of knowledge and expertise in improving productivity. This is where you need to be for everything to do with work measurement and improving performance. We provide trained Industrial Engineers who will accurately measure and assemble BSI Standard times for all your processes, and we can even formally train your people if preferred. https://scott-grant.co.uk/study-productivity/ Work measurement, or the application of ‘time & motion’ practices is a technique to create “standard” time measures. It’s the foundation for understanding your challenges and opportunities. Measurement of machine cycle times, process lead times and bottlenecks are also key elements. Embarking upon productivity improvement or operational excellence programmes based on incorrect baseline measures can be costly. It leaves big opportunities potentially overlooked. Creating a “standard” measure (how long a task should take working at an optimum level), is crucial to the basis for process or performance improvement. Measurement is the foundation for operational excellence. It is where the level of “nonvalue” adding tasks are identified and targets (KPIs) are defined. Measures form a critical part of process improvement initiatives using DMAIC specifically at the Measure and Improve phases. Scott-Grant has the skill and resources to go further with you if you are embarking on your own operational excellence journey. This may include, Identifying and quantifying operational pain points Identifying waste and developing lean concepts Reducing lead times Process mapping including value stream mapping (VSM) Developing statistical measures Facilitation of process improvement workshops (PIW) Developing / presenting KPIs to enhance performance. We are currently working with many customers across all key sectors helping them to progress their productivity initiatives and address market challenges.
