On-Site Production Efficiency Assessment
A full-day floor walk-through with a written report naming specific time-saving actions for your operation.
Who this is for
Small producers running batch or short-run manufacturing — typically 3 to 30 staff on the floor. Common clients include artisan food producers, metal fabricators, packaging operations, and workshop manufacturers who have outgrown informal scheduling but are not ready for enterprise systems.
What you receive
- A full-day visit observing live production, changeovers, and material movement
- Interviews with shift leads, operators, and whoever owns scheduling
- Review of your current batch board, handover notes, and storage layout
- A written report (typically 8–12 pages) delivered within five business days
- A prioritised action list with estimated time impact per item
- A 30-minute follow-up call to walk through the report with your team
What is included
Floor observation during at least one complete batch cycle or shift segment. Mapping of material flow from receiving to dispatch. Identification of changeover steps, waiting points, and rework triggers. Photographs of layout issues (with your permission). Recommendations written in plain language your floor staff can act on.
What is excluded
Implementation labour — we advise, we do not move equipment or rewrite your ERP. Capital equipment purchases. Ongoing coaching beyond the included follow-up call (available as a separate engagement). Travel beyond 150 km of Adelaide CBD is quoted separately.
The process
- Scope call (30 minutes, phone or video) — we learn your products, batch sizes, and shift pattern
- Site visit — arrive before your main production window; walk the floor with your nominated guide
- Observation — we watch without interrupting unless safety requires it; notes are taken throughout
- Team conversations — short interviews with operators and leads at natural break points
- Report delivery — emailed PDF with action list, photos, and suggested sequence
- Follow-up call — 30 minutes to answer questions and clarify priorities
Preparation
Have your current scheduling method visible — whiteboard, spreadsheet, or wall calendar. Ensure at least one shift lead is available for 20 minutes. If you have recent production logs or downtime records, have them accessible but not required.
