Manufacturing Performance Challenge
This involves an opportunity to review the cost efficiency of the whole
manufacturing base with a view to establishing a programme or series of
projects to be tackled in turn to change plants from laggards to as near
leadership as possible. Independent benchmarking support provided if appropriate.
Product and Process Technology Strategy studies.
A thorough study of the current range of products and their manufacturing
processes will lead to an assessment of their competitivity and potential.
An assessment of the R&D programme, resources, skills and risks will
result in a clear view on its ability to deliver the business result needed
from this with an understanding of the gaps which need to be filled.
Technology Transfer (in and out).
Licensing can be expensive (selling as well as buying) but experience
can help achieve the objectives. Hulatt Consulting's expertise in defining
requirements, stipulating those to the licensor and in negotiating them
can make a significant difference to project profitability. Never do it
on your own.
Hulatt Consulting can help you set up a cost effective licensing activity
to avoid excessive internal cost while enhancing sales potential.
If you have something worth selling, technology exchange can be an extremely
effective way of increasing capability at low cost but suspicion can prevent
successful exchange. Independent arbiters can significantly increase the
chances of success.
Technology Evaluation and Development.
Technical teams too often lack the business input to evaluate technology
and focus its development to maximum business effect. Often there is no
appropriate process to control (or stop) its development. Hulatt Consulting
can provide support or leadership to specific developments and can install
a step by step approach to such developments for maximum efficiency and
effective input to projects as appropriate.
The Next STEP (Shaping Teams for Exceptional
Performance).
The Next STEP provides a formal process for identifying problems within
teams, for obtaining buy in to solve them and for managing the change.
It can also be used specifically to target changes needed to ensure delivery
of exceptional performance whether it be in a project or general context.
