Services

From a one-hour review to a fix that stays fixed

Every engagement starts on the shop floor and ends with measured proof: less rework, fewer return visits, suppliers who build what you meant, and numbers the board believes.

How an engagement usually runs

Most clients climb the same four steps. Each one stands on its own, and you can stop after any of them.

The five services in detail

01

Rework Cost Diagnostic

What your rework really costs, by cause, in three weeks.

  • A £ figure on every repeat failure: the cost to make it, the cost to fix it and the cost of the remedial visit.
  • Each repeat error traced to where it is made and where it should have been caught.
  • A short, ranked list of where fixing the process will save the most.
  • A containment plan agreed from week three, so the bleeding stops while the real fixes are built.
  • One agreed, conservative cost per incident, so the board believes the number.

Best when: Margin is slipping on jobs you priced correctly, and nobody can say where it's going.

02

90-Day Quality Turnaround

Contain in weeks, fix the causes, prove it in the numbers.

  • The bleeding contained within weeks, before the long-term fix is built.
  • A handful of fixes, each aimed at a whole family of failures, cheapest control first and no extra admin.
  • A short weekly update showing what's fixed, what's in progress and what the numbers say.
  • A review at day 30 where you decide whether to carry on.
  • Someone in-house coached to lead it, so it keeps running after we leave.

Best when: The same return visits, remakes and supplier errors keep coming back, and you want them stopped for good.

03

Supplier Quality Review

Suppliers build what you meant, and pay when they don’t.

  • A joint quality review with a critical supplier.
  • The failures that matter, traced to where they start in the hand-off between you.
  • Numbered actions, agreed and written up the same day, so nothing depends on memory.
  • Your own purchase orders checked for the specials that keep going wrong: handing, finish, edging, fitting packs.
  • A route to recover the cost when a supplier gets it wrong, instead of absorbing it.

Best when: A critical supplier keeps getting it wrong, and every complaint starts from scratch.

04

ISO 9001 Readiness

Pass the audit as a by-product of running the business well.

  • A quality management system built around how your business actually works.
  • Processes, records and responsibilities your team will use, not a binder for the shelf.
  • Readiness for your certification audit, with support from an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor.

Best when: You need ISO 9001 certification, or your current system only serves the auditor.

  • An experienced quality lead in your business a few days a month.
  • Corrective actions, supplier issues and audits kept moving between visits.
  • A regular report to the owner or board on what errors are costing and what's being done.

Best when: You need senior quality leadership, but not full time.
