Our highly-skilled team of practitioners and lean specialists

In recent years Tim’s interests have focused on the implementation of Value Stream Maps. He has successfully assisted customers to eliminate waste by improving flow, implementing pull systems, providing the stability of quality principles, and preventing overproduction and waste. These have been applied in both greenfield and brownfield sites.

During his career, Tim was responsible for major operational changes including complex multi-site amalgamations, ERP system implementations, plant relocations and integrating mergers and acquisitions. He was also responsible for establishing and refining complex international supply chains.

Since establishing TXM he has built a strong reputation for high-quality project management and his extensive lean supply chain expertise.

As a Graduate Engineer at the Ford Motor Company, Anthony was initially taught standardised work using yamazumi by Japanese-based Mazda engineers. This project won the President’s Award for innovative tooling. After numerous line re-layouts at Ford in Australia, Anthony received further training from the US-based Toyota Sensei and worked with automotive suppliers to reduce costs.

He was also mentored in Australia and the USA by a highly respected Toyota Lean Sensei’s (Teacher). Since partnering with TXM in 2007, Anthony has worked with a range of customers including Schuetz DSL, Rosebank Engineering, Agilent Technologies, Ferguson Plarre, Branach Engineering, Jeff Sykes and Associates and more.

In 2010 TXM expanded into SE Asia and Anthony has lead and supported the TXM team.  Client projects include Kmart, AstraZeneca, Kimberley Clark, & SCA packaging.

The US mentoring included close teaching from a US based TPM guru and author.  This mentoring along with having internal consultants trained by JIPM have resulted in a practical understanding of TPM and an appreciation for the value.
