Industry

Manufacturing

Throughput, reliability and quality, taught to the people who actually run the line.

What makes this sector different

Improvement programmes stall when they are designed by staff functions and handed down. The capability has to sit with supervisors and operators, or it leaves with the consultant.

Case studies

GATI publishes a case study once a client has agreed to it being published. There are none for this sector yet, and inventing one would be the easiest thing on this page to get wrong.
