Six month contract to set up lean manufacturing and stock control systems, ensuring that this business would go from strength to strength. An initial review of the business highlighted a need for an efficient stock control system that would also manage the production. After researching suitable options I recommended and helped to implement KanBan stock control.

An initial review of the business highlighted a need for an efficient stock control system that would also manage the production. After researching suitable options I recommended and helped to implement KanBan stock control. This has proved to be a highly successful system, enabling the factory to increase productivity in-line with demand, also helping to manage the seasonality of the business. Further to this a lean manufacturing survey was carried out and staff were trained to understand the value of lean working methodology. A variety of changes were made to the working practices, as a result of which these foundations have enabled manufacturing to support rapid sales growth. Since this period the company has showed 40% growth figures 2011, 2012 and on track 2013, as well as moved into a new, state of the art manufacturing unit. I believe this unique role, a far cry form aesthetics, enabled me to further develop business management skills, especially the ability to 'trouble shoot'. Show less

This period of time saw many changes and developments in the area of aesthetic treatments, and I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in this field. Over the years, as well as patient liaison, I was also involved in marketing, from both strategic planning and campaign design, clinic management, and clinical governance. This environment enabled me to be involved from beginning of the 'cosmetic surgery revolution' where it changed from being an exclusive resource for the few, to becoming accessible to a wide spectrum of the population. The time I have spent in this field to date has equipped me with a fairly unique insight into this field and has enabled me to develop a variety of skills that, combined with those more recently acquired, has led to the creation of Aesthetic Response.
