As your business grows in size and turnover, the complexity of your business will also grow. It becomes harder and harder for senior management to keep control of all the different aspects of the business. What is needed are robust processes and procedures that deliver your products to your customers on time, in full every time. As well, you need to develop systems for managing people that develop leaders at every level of your business to take responsibility and accountability and enable you to get the best out of everyone in your business. Lean is a proven approach for delivering these efficient and robust business processes and is an effective system for managing your people.

At TXM we customise the Lean approach for the specific needs of your business. Therefore, our process begins by working closely with you to understand your business objectives and formulate a tailored program and clear action plan which maps your Lean journey from where you are now to where you want to be. We equip your people with the necessary skills and provide coaching at every stage of the project until you reach your objectives.

At TXM we do not want our work to interrupt your business. Therefore we minimise large group workshops and set piece training. Instead we aim for short, focused, hands-on coaching sessions with individuals or small groups in their workplace. That said, it is important that your business is committed to the change. We provide lots of notice and an agenda for each day outlining who will be involved in our sessions. You need to ensure that your managers and leaders plan for this and are fully involved and engaged in the sessions that need them.

Depending on the type of project you initiate with us, you may see results in as little as 6 weeks with our Accelerated Productivity Programme or usually between 3 and 6 months with a normal Lean deployment.

TXM is committed to achieving the objectives we agree with you. Even if it takes longer than we planned or involves more of our time, we will keep working until the predefined goals are achieved. We have a warranty in our terms and conditions that means if you are dissatisfied with our services we will keep working until you are satisfied or even refund your money.

Our team of TXM Lean Consultants pride themselves on being manufacturing professionals first and Lean manufacturing consultants second. Every member of our team has extensive practical manufacturing experience in leadership and management roles in addition to their deep knowledge and experience in Lean Thinking.

TXM Lean Solutions services are a fixed price arrangement that will provide you all the support you need to achieve your business goals. Our first initial assessment is free with the intention of learning more about your business and provide some insight into the help we can provide.

Based on literally hundreds of projects, TXM projects usually deliver a return 5-10 times greater than the investment. In fact, in most cases, the cost of the project is well and truly paid back before the project is even completed.

Some of our programs can be deployed in as little as 6 weeks, but the average program lasts around 12 months. We find this is a good amount of time for our consultant to work alongside your key people to achieve the stated outcomes set out in the initial proposal and ensure the improvements can be sustained after we have finished.
