Make-to-order manufacturers could grow profits 10-fold
1 min read
Dr Eli Goldratt is on the move again with his application of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and now offering just 20 places to CEOs, directors, owners and senior managers wanting to learn how to transform their make-to-order businesses.
Goldratt consulting partner Levee says UK manufacturers can win against even low cost emerging economies like China, using its Goldratt-based DCE (decisive competitive edge) methodologies – and has invited the great man to explain on March 7 at the Institute of Directors in London.
Levee partner and co-founder Daniel Baker says: “A test of a real decisive competitive edge would be that a make to order manufacturer could achieve, within, say, four years a five- to ten-fold increase in its net profit… The challenge would be to [grow] without exhausting the company’s resources and/or taking too high risks.”
And therein lies the trick. Martin Powell, former Goldratt associate and now also with Levee, promises: “The DCE strategy solution … enables our clients to build a decisive competitive edge and the capabilities to capitalise on it without exhausting the company’s resources and without taking real risks.”
He cites London-based furniture manufacturer Ben Whistler, which is six months into a five-year project after partnering with Levee, using Goldratt’s approaches. Co-owner Sebastian de Groot, says: “Working with Levee over has seen significant improvement to sales, net profit and motivation. We have realised nearly double net profit in the last six months, than the whole of last year and we are on track to achieve £7m net profit within five years.”
With 60 per cent of places already booked, Levee is advising would be delegates to act fast. Cost is £295 and you can email kerryanne.delbridge@levee-group.com, or book online at www.goldratt.co.uk/events.
