APEX – Asset Performance Excellence – the Manufacturing Assessment Tool

APEX is designed to measure your current progress towards world class performance.

Using a self assessment process you are able to assess your current approach to all the key aspects of manufacturing.

The assessment focuses on:

• People – measuring how well your people are managed and motivated
• Plant – measuring the performance of your equipment and the workplace organization
• Processes – measuring the effectiveness of the key processes you need for a world class operation

It provides a series of measures and scores that give the basis for further improvement, and lays the foundation for delivery of High Performance Manufacturing.

Operations Excellence taps into the skill and knowledge of the shopfloor to improve processes and production output.

Organisation Strategy

Business process re-engineering and organisation restructuring may require the development of new roles and responsibilities, skills development and training, revised pay and reward and shift patterns and management development programmes.

We have experience of organisation restructuring across a range of business situations.

We help you to:

• Define Effective Organisations
• Define Job Roles and Accountabilities
• Introduce Job Grading linked to Pay and Reward Systems
• Access individuals’ Competencies
• Determine individuals’ suitability for particular roles through Personnel Profiling and Assessment
• Competency Assessment

In order to make significant improvements in performance, everybody in the organization must be empowered to identify and eliminate waste.  Utilising Lean principles can help you achieve this.
