Manufacturing

Future global challenges confronting the manufacturing sector
The future for manufacturing companies is becoming ever more demanding and ever changing, driven by the effects of globalisation and the need for perfect quality at minimum costs.

The focus for all organisations is to not only drive increased performance and delivery in individual sites and businesses but also to improve effectiveness and efficiencies throughout the entire value stream including:

  • Optimising the production network through re-location and restructuring which requires faultless transfer of processes, capability and skills
  • Reducing supply chain costs and increasing supply chain capability and flexibility which includes development of robust customer / supplier relationships, measures and controls
  • Implementing global standards across different geographies and cultures and driving engagement of team members in continuous improvement throughout the entire organisation. 

Unipart Expert Practices (UEP) offers a broad range of solutions to our existing and potential customers within the manufacturing sector which increase competitiveness and deliver tangible benefits by addressing the real challenges referred to above. Once more, the benefits are sustained and further improved by building internal capability and engagement within the customer’s own business.

To date, our practitioners have worked on performance improvement programmes in manufacturing environments across multiple sectors (including Aerospace, Consumer Goods, Energy, Automotive and Heavy Industry & Engineering) in more than 20 countries.
