SHIPPING
We specialise in creating significant and sustainable value streams within shipping organisations
The challenges we will help you overcome
The shipping industry has a problem many other sectors are lucky enough to avoid; the requirement to build their supply stock (the ships themselves), way in advance of knowing the demand.
Unfortunately for most the perfect storm of events following the five years pre-2009 of largely unabated profitable trading, meant additional stock was ordered, bigger and technologically advanced ships were needed to support demand. And then the world financial crisis hit. A saturated market, combined with inevitable pricing pressures, operating at times under capacity and a notoriously conservative decision making industry, as seen many companies suffer dreadfully.
Every senior team knows these problems and most know the solutions too but implementing them successfully has been the biggest challenge of all.
As a sector we undertake a great deal of effective lean practice in, we understand your concerns but can also show you an unparalleled level of success in helping to implement highly effective change, that has resulted in sustained cost reduction and increased margin.
Our work has included helping to optimise pricing strategies, capacity management, inter-departmental alignment and technological automation.

HEAVY LIFT
With a required corporate restructure, it was highlighted as the appropriate moment to target significant reductions in overall time to performance.
Lean Management was acknowledged as the way to achieve that.
RESULTS
Visualisation of the overall company process was developed and communicated.
That then in turn facilitated an immediate improved cash position, increased sales conversion and sustainable, improved margin per voyage
