Cut down on manufacturing costs and turn inefficiencies into real productivity. Our high-performance operations consultancy uncovers constraints and delivers remarkable data-driven gains without the need for capital expenditure as part of our cost savings services.
Potential reimagined
Increasingly competitive markets and ever demanding business conditions mean that manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce costs, boost efficiency and improve profitability.
During an initial assessment, our zero-loss approach shows the full magnitude of potential cost saving opportunities. These often reveal remarkable potential gains, far larger than what was previously thought possible.
In the following launch phase, our consultants work with your teams to recover the value revealed during the initial scan. The causes of the largest losses are systematically targeted with actions implemented to reduce and eliminate weak points.
We consistently help manufacturers reduce materials costs by 10-20%, alongside labor costs which lead to 20-40% improvements in efficiency. Working capital and utilities costs are also effectively lowered, leading to direct financial savings as well as further clarity for the shop floor and team leaders.

Alongside technically and tactically identifying opportunities, our project management experience allows us to make fundamental changes to your organization in a matter of weeks helping to meet cost savings goals.

Beyond Chartwell
By achieving sustainable results and implementing impactful solutions, our interventions are designed to remain effective long after the project or deployment is complete. But much of this depends on your team, and their ability to contribute to lasting improvement. As a result, we have developed a series of tailored workshops, toolkits and methodologies, which help you learn our approach, overcome constraints, and deliver improvements without us being on site.
