WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / SHROPSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY TELFORD
Growth on the Telford estates often happens in jumps. A firm wins a large contract, takes on another unit, adds a night shift, and the office processes that worked for twenty people are suddenly running a business of eighty. Orders are rekeyed between systems, production meetings rely on printed lists, and dispatch finds out about urgent jobs by someone walking over. Nobody designed this. It accumulated.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / TELFORD
We map the path of an order from enquiry to invoice, talking to the people at each step, and identify where time and accuracy are being lost. Findings often include duplicate entry between sales and production, unclear ownership of customer changes, and handovers between shifts that depend on memory. Some fixes are software. Others are a better shift handover sheet or a single agreed status for each job. The output is a prioritised plan, not a sales pitch for a large build.
IN PRACTICE / TELFORD
A growing manufacturer could have its full order journey mapped, revealing where jobs wait, where information is retyped and where urgent changes get lost, with a ranked list of fixes.
A site running two or three shifts might replace verbal handovers with a short structured record of job status, machine issues and priorities, visible to the incoming supervisor.
An engineering supplier could formalise how customer changes to quantities or specifications are logged, approved and communicated to production, avoiding the wrong revision being made.

QUESTION / TELFORD
We keep it light. Most of the work is short conversations with staff and some time observing on site, arranged around production. We don't need people away from their jobs for long. The biggest ask is usually access to a few examples of real orders and documents so we can trace them through the business.
