Consumer Products & Durable Goods

Lead Your Market with a Partner Who Understands Excellence.

As consumer products and CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) experts, we know how tough it can be to keep up with rising costs, shifting consumer demands, and the constant need to innovate. Our goal is to leverage your operations to drive competitive advantage and fuel growth. Whether improving quality, managing talent, optimizing assets, fine-tuning inventory, or strengthening supplier relationships, we work alongside you to turn these challenges into opportunities.

Ensuring Excellence from Design to Production

Your customers expect top quality, and we’re here to help you deliver. Even a minor defect can have a significant impact, from losing customers to damaging your brand’s reputation. That’s why we focus on getting it right early on, starting at the design phase all the way to production. With our continuous improvement approach, we’ll help you implement Quality Management Systems (QMS) and lean practises that tackle the root causes of quality issues, which means fewer defects, more consistency, and a level of quality that keeps your customers coming back for more.

Building a Winning Team

Finding and keeping good people can be a challenge. High turnover and a shortage of skilled labour can slow you down and drive up costs – especially when talent needs change from season-to-season. We work with you to build flexible staffing strategies that will attract top talent and keep them engaged and motivated. By reducing turnover and boosting your company culture, we help you create a committed, productive, and ready team to drive your business forward.

Your Equipment Is the Backbone of Your Operations

When your equipment it’s not running efficiently, everything else can cripple production. We understand how frustrating unplanned downtime can be — and how much it can cost you. We assist you in transitioning from reactive to preventive and predictive maintenance, shifting from merely addressing issues to proactively avoiding them. By incorporating maintenance early in major capital projects, leaders can design maintenance and training programmes that enhance equipment effectiveness, availability, and overall equipment efficiency (OEE). Our approach will provide valuable insights into equipment selection, lifecycle planning, and retiring outdated equipment.

Optimising Stock and Enhancing Cash Flow

Managing inventory can feel like walking a tightrope — too much and you’ve got cash tied up, too little and you can’t meet demand. We know how challenging it is to find that perfect balance. Our inventory management solutions are all about helping you navigate cyclical trends, seasonal fluctuations, or unpredictable consumer behaviour. We focus on modelling to pinpoint the ideal safety stock levels, improving demand forecasting, and optimising inventory turns to free up working capital, improve cash flow, and keep you ready to meet market needs at a moment’s notice.

Optimising Supplier Relationships

We help you define and operationalise a sourcing strategy that mitigates global supply chain risk. Rising costs, availability, logistics, quality, and packaging challenges can all eat into your margins. We qualify and audit suppliers, manage relationships and performance, and implement targeted supplier improvements. We work with suppliers to increase in-bound supply chain visibility and keep you ahead of disruptions to protected profit margins and create a supply chain that’s ready to support your business goals.

Maximising Efficiency in Packaging, Printing & Labelling

The optimization of packaging, printing, and labeling processes involves a comprehensive strategy aimed at minimizing costs, enhancing product quality, and improving overall yield by optimizing changeovers, reducing defects, improving yield, reducing external rejects, reducing reclaim/regrind, and reducing energy consumption.

Case Study

To accommodate sales growth, in addition to extra inventory, the private equity-owned business had added extra shifts and expanded operations from five to seven days. Despite these moves, on-time delivery was abysmal. Productivity was undermined by machine downtime, high scrap, and low staffing levels. All of which made hourly and daily output completely unpredictable.
