Manufacturing and Operations Management
Product manufacturer? Service provider? Commodities player? Despite all your time invested in increasing productivity do you still experience an unsatisfactory level of production variability, inventory and WIP? Can you not satisfy market demand, no matter how hard you push? Have you cut costs, been ruthless with efficiency measures but still can’t seem to achieve the result you are after.
There is another way. In both manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments, Ensemble specialises in showing its clients how they can systemically synchronise operations in ways that are meaningful to the bottom line with a TOC method called Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR). We enable our clients to greatly increase their production flow and teach operations teams to appreciate the nature of their entire system.
Aligning back-shop action with the strategic goals of the board and the profit concerns of shareholders is a challenge we are happy to engage in.

Case Study - Australian Country Spinners
