Industry
Energy Management – Landis+Gyr, Smart Gas Metering
Support Level
3 consultants, 9 months
Objective
To assess potential and find ways to increase output and quality rapidly, without further capital expenditure.
Results
- Output was increased by 72%
- Unit scrap costs were more than halved
- £3.4m of cost over-runs were recovered
- Order backlog with existing customers was cleared
Why was Chartwell brought on board?
The UK leader in Smart Gas Metering required a four-fold increase in output over a 2 year period. The client had already improved significantly and had a capital plan in place, but this would still be insufficient to meet demand during 2016 and 2017.
