WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY KETTERING
Domiciliary care is a good example of a workflow that looks simple on paper and is fiendishly complex in practice. Visits, carers, travel, medication, family contact and changing needs all interact, and small inefficiencies multiply across every day of the week. We spend time with coordinators and carers, map how information moves from assessment to rota to visit, and identify where duplication or delay occurs. Recommendations range from simple changes in routine to targeted tools that remove repeated phone calls.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / KETTERING
In food production the workflows worth examining are often between departments: new product development handing over to production, quality signing off a supplier, planning reacting to an order change. Each handoff has its own spreadsheet and inbox. Mapping them together with the people involved shows where information is repeatedly re-entered or lost. Because Kettering is so close to us, these sessions can happen on site, where most of the useful detail tends to surface.
IN PRACTICE / KETTERING
A care agency in Kettering could shorten the time from a new referral to the first visit by redesigning how assessments, care plans and rota slots are created, removing duplicate data entry between the office and carers.
A food manufacturer might streamline how new recipes move from development to production, with one controlled specification feeding labels, costings and batch instructions rather than three separate documents.
A building services firm could redesign enquiry, survey, quote and scheduling, so jobs are not lost between the office and engineers and customers get consistent updates at every stage.

QUESTION / KETTERING
A review of one core process typically takes one to three weeks, including interviews, observation and a written report. Larger reviews across several departments take longer. We try to limit disruption, fitting sessions around shifts and peak times, and we share early findings as we go rather than saving everything for the end.
