Here we examine all aspects of how a facility is performing making our judgements against best practice and industry benchmarks. The assessment takes account of the restrictions or advantages of equipment, environment and resources. The report is an invaluable management tool that can pay huge dividends.

We look at all parts of the process from the initiation of the Works Order through to despatch. Experience has taught us never to make assumptions about any aspect of the operation. It is often the apparently simple factors that have become custom and practice over the years that are haemorrhaging profits from the company.

PDS Consulting provide a different perspective to the management of a unit. Our vast knowledge of the process gathered in over 30years in the industry enables us to identify the key issues. We become an extension of your management team and the report produced will enable you to address the areas where the greatest gains can be made. Most will be no or low cost.

The apparently obvious solution of immediately investing in new equipment may not be your best route. We understand the realities of business and aim to give you the opportunity to optimise your existing facilities before making major investments if indeed they are necessary.

The assessment includes:

  • Overview
  • Works order production
  • Stencil production
  • Ink mixing
  • Health and Safety and Environmental issues
  • The production floor
  • Standard operating procedures
  • Actual methods applied
  • Test and measurement equipment and techniques
  • Recommendations

In depth discussions are had with the facility management or relevant personnel as to their perception of the operation and the skill levels of the team. PDS Consulting gather a complete picture of the technical and operational status of a facility.

This takes up to four days depending on the size and complexity of the facility. It is likely to be the most important investment you have made since the start of the company.
