The X-RAY Collaboration
Looking for a pathway to improved Growth and Profitability?
Are you required to increase your Sustainability performance?
Our team of business advisors has a unique solution that can take an X-RAY snapshot of your business, and tailor solutions to target improvement in your priority areas.
About X-RAY
X-RAY provides a unique capability to review and optimise the performance of your business from four key productivity perspectives; supply chain & logistics, lean & continuous improvement, data management & business systems, and circular economy & sustainability. The service utilises a collaboration of highly experienced industry advisors who are specialists in these key elements of sustainable growth and profitability.
This is a service that pays for itself many times over. Significant returns above the investment are typically realised within the first 12 months.
How it works.
Our team follows a proven roadmap that begins with a thorough business assessment across your key functional areas. We use value stream mapping as a methodology to document and visualise how work and information flow across your organisation and identify where the key improvement opportunities lie. Our advisors then meet with your subject matter experts to delve deeper into specific issues to expand on these opportunities.
These opportunities are galvanised into a report and improvement plan that can be implemented by project teams with our support and guidance.
What X-RAY Delivers
-
Shorter Lead Times | Increased Capacity
Lean Process Improvements can release your hidden factory, shortening lead times and speeding up throughput, often without adding additional resources. This is particularly relevant in the current environment of constrained labour supply.
-
Better Quality
Defects and other quality problems are massively wasteful, causing reduced throughput, damaged client relationships and wasted resources. Implementing a successful quality system minimises these losses and enables your team to get it right first time, every time.
-
Improved Supply Chain Performance
Running out of inventory will kill your output quickly. Carrying too much inventory will kill your bottom line. Our unique solutions for optimising your supply chain can match your demand forecast to your supply plan to ensure that you have the resources you need when you need them.
-
Optimised Data Performance
Streamlining your business systems and managing data effectively can transform raw data into insightful business dashboards that enable faster, smarter decisions. X-RAY helps you to harness, manage, and optimise your data and improve the reporting of KPI’s.
-
Identify sustainability and circularity objectives
Transitioning towards a circular economy involves designing products with durability, recyclability, and reuse in mind. Encourage product design teams to explore sustainable materials, implement take-back programs for end-of-life products, and establish partnerships with recycling and refurbishment organizations. This shift towards circularity can create cost savings, reduce waste, and enhance resource efficiency.
-
Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Align with the compliance requirements of your major clients, and prepare for future regulatory frameworks around sustainability and Circular Economics. Reduce the risk of penalties, legal issues, reputational damage associated with non-compliance and mitigate the risks associated with resource scarcity and price volatility, ensuring long-term business stability.
