How 3abel can help you

Instrumental in the launch of our own Production System 'APS,' our focus on business improvement is evident through the detailed training and coaching of local practitioners. We excel in fostering enthusiasm for activities, backed by in-depth knowledge of lean manufacturing and operational excellence, all while supporting supply chain development.

Alan's expertise in lean manufacturing was fully demonstrated when his organisation undertook a business improvement assignment for me at IMI Norgren. He was able to provide training and coaching to a team of multifunctional managers with an enthusiasm, proficiency, and passion that was infectious. As a direct result of his involvement, my management team acquired valuable new skills, which then enabled them to drive significant operational excellence and enhance our supply chain development.

Well organized in delivering training and coaching goals, Alan and the team are highly recommended for their expertise in business improvement. Over 12 months, they worked with us to train the younger members of our team, providing them with the necessary tools to expand and future-proof the business while focusing on lean manufacturing and operational excellence in our supply chain development.

Alan and his team was bursting with enthusiasm and a real 'can do' attitude as they embarked on a journey of business improvement. They introduced lean manufacturing and 5S principles into the factory for the first time, focusing on operational excellence. Much of their time was dedicated to training and coaching the Operations team, providing encouragement and support during this transitional phase to enhance uptime and efficiency, while also contributing to supply chain development.

Elddis (The Explorer Group Limited) engaged 3ABEL as Business Improvement Consultants for approximately 24 months to assist us in enhancing our supply chain development and its operations, which included ten of our most strategic suppliers. The 3A Team consistently exhibited professionalism and demonstrated a high level of expertise, employing a unique, analytical, and systematic style in delivering proven tools and techniques that drive results in all key areas: Quality, Cost, Delivery, and People. Their ability to influence teams and individuals brings out the best in everyone. The support and advice provided throughout our supply chain improvement program at Elddis were invaluable; they enlightened us and many of our suppliers on how to implement lean manufacturing principles in our daily operations, emphasizing the concept of 'working smarter not harder.' This approach led to improved business performance and profitability while achieving operational excellence.

Alan and the team conducted lean manufacturing training and coaching at Euramax, focusing on business improvement and operational excellence. Personally, I found them to be the best trainers I've encountered, showcasing exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm for lean manufacturing. The highest recommendation I can provide is that we continue to apply the techniques they taught us, which remain effective in our supply chain development.
