WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY CORBY
Processes that cross shifts are harder to see than those within a single office. An order may be planned on days, produced overnight, inspected the next morning and dispatched the following afternoon, with information passed on through notes, whiteboards and conversations. We map these flows with the people involved on each shift, identify where work waits or is repeated, and look at whether the fix is a clearer routine, a better shared tool or a targeted piece of software.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / CORBY
Distribution centres benefit from the same scrutiny applied to recruitment and onboarding. Taking on dozens of new starters before a busy period involves right-to-work checks, inductions, training, system logins and equipment. When each step belongs to a different person or agency, new starters lose days. Mapping and simplifying that journey often shortens time to productivity considerably, without spending anything on new technology.
IN PRACTICE / CORBY
A plastics or packaging manufacturer in Corby could map orders across planning, production, quality and despatch, identifying the handoffs where jobs wait longest and redesigning them to shorten lead times.
A distribution centre might streamline new-starter onboarding into a single tracked flow, from offer to first productive shift, with agency, HR and training steps visible in one place.
A manufacturer could simplify how suspect product is quarantined, investigated and released, making sure holds are not forgotten across shift changes and customers are informed promptly.

Yes. We arrange observation and interviews to cover the shifts where the process actually runs, including nights where needed. Many of the most useful insights come from seeing handovers in person, so we plan visits carefully to cause as little disruption as possible.
