Industry Forum can provide a range of improvement solutions across your entire organisation. We don’t offer one single standard solution. Instead, our aerospace business consultants get to know your organisation, your people and the environment within which you operate before working with you to find an approach that is tailored to your requirements, meeting your needs and addressing your strategic challenges.
We implement training and consulting programmes, combining expertise across our four capability areas, in a format that matches your business context and resource constraints, delivering the impacts you need and the capability of your team to drive further improvement.
From design right through to implementation we pride ourselves on our ability to transfer the necessary skills to your people and to ensure that you benefit from tangible and sustainable improvements to your business.
We will help ensure your business becomes more agile and flexible in responding to requirements in terms of volume and mix and more able to develop and launch new products quickly, creating innovative and value added solutions. You’ll be much better placed to compete globally in terms of quality, cost and delivery, while managing consistency and offsetting supply chain risks.
Our consultancy is about helping clients be more competitive and as an affiliate of National Manufacturing Competitiveness Levels (NMCL), we can access funding you can spend on aerospace supply chain improvements through training, coaching and mentoring.
By working closely and collaboratively, Industry Forum will examine and evaluate your systems and processes with an expert and objective pair of eyes, finding the root of any problems which are frequently occurring. We will then implement new, lean strategies to optimise productivity and reduce waste by:
Adopting best practice operational methods such as 5S workplace organisation, Standard Work in relation to documentation and Line Balancing. This is applied to assembly lines to harness resources to ensure products are delivered on time
Using Value Stream Mapping to maintain profitability and improve productivity whilst streamlining inventory
Developing Lean Supply Chains through product flows in every direction, pooling shared data to reduce costs and waste in the system
Structured problem solving to resolve quality control and operational issues
Setting up and supporting new processes to manage quality standards
Upskilling your team leaders to become supervisors, giving them the insight and enthusiasm they need to identify and solve problems
