	Gain Competitive Advantage Through Inventory Reduction
	Determined to maintain their reputation and position in the market place, senior management highlighted the need to evolve the organisation to meet the expectations of a new business environment. Their objective was to provide a tailored ‘just in time’ solution to meet customer requirements.

	Benefits of Value Stream Mapping
	After 27 years, the current owners were seeking to optimise operations to prepare the business for sale. However driving lasting change while maintaining day-to-day operations proved difficult. Customer service issues began to surface, combining with increases in delivery errors and declining profits.

	Lean in Healthcare & Service
	The client was a mid-sized manufacturer and supplier of healthcare solutions designed to fight disease states in seven major therapeutic areas including cardiovascular, neuroscience, gastrointestinal, infection, oncology, anaesthesia and respiratory.

	From Chaos to Order: Introducing 5S
	A downturn in the market due to the global financial crisis saw sles value and volumes declining and many redundancies on the shop floor were required to stabilise the business and survive the crisis.

	Lean Manufacturing & Global Price Pressures
	By remaining Australia’s geosynthetic specialist with local production capabilities, reducing margins due to global price sensitivities became an increasing risk. Challenges facing the business included:

	Workplace Organisation for a Real Competitive Advantage
	Our client is a leading supplier of cutting tools for the woodworking industry. With a parent company located in Germany, the business operates centrally from Melbourne with support offices in Brisbane and New Zealand.

	Australian Manufacturer
	Phalanx Consulting conducted and facilitated a full diagnostic review of the scheduling process through cross functional team workshops.
