What if I told you that hidden inside your current manufacturing operation is a “super-factory” that could outperform your competitors by 50% or more… using your existing equipment and people?

Hi, I’m Jim McCallum.

In this video, I’ll show you how to uncover your super-factory. One that gives your customers an even better service, gives you lower unit costs and more profits, and ends those nagging quality problems you face every day.

Problem

You know the frustrations:

• Your competitors seem to do better than you
• You don’t have spare cash to invest in new equipment
• You can’t find capacity for new products

I know exactly how this feels because I lived it myself. My special skillset is helping you resolve these problems by uncovering your super-factory.

Every company has one. All my hundred-plus clients, large and small, all over the world, in a wide range of sectors, had one.

And you do too. You just can’t see it right now.

I had to find mine for myself originally. Way back, I ran a series of US subsidiaries in Europe. All manufacturers. All in competitive markets. Faced the same frustrations you do. Loads of problems every day. Lots of hats to wear.

The businesses did okay. But how could we do better? I wanted to be the best in my sector.

I talked to some consultants at the time. They told me what I needed to do. On-time delivery. Efficient manufacturing. Perfect quality. But I knew that. What I wanted to know was HOW do I achieve it?

And they couldn’t tell me that. Well, how could they? They didn’t know as much about my business as I did.

Solution

That’s why I had to figure it out for myself.

It took me a while to work it all out. But in the end, it all came down to the three elements I HAD to focus on: Customer service. Productivity. Right first time.

But as an engineer, I like measures. What measures could I use? And how would I KNOW when I got to be the best?

In the end, I figured out a series of ratios for these three elements that represented world-class performance. And I could then see where I was on the scale, and how far I had to go to reach world-class.

And so, I created my Path to Excellence.

Let me show you what I mean. There are five stages on this path: Innocence. Awareness. Understanding. Competence. And Excellence. They reflect increasing performance in these three measures. Responsiveness is my measure of customer service.

Proof

When I did this for my company, my performance was just left of centre. Where the red line is. But that also told me how far I had to go to achieve excellence. Or world-class.

And so I figured out what I had to do in each of these elements to move them to the right-hand end of the spectrum. And the green line shows where I got to.

And that transformed my business. I became the best in my sector. The best customer service. Highest productivity. Perfect quality. Released spare cash previously locked up in inventories. Had lower unit costs. Made more profits. And left my competition way behind. And stayed there.

A few years later, I became a consultant to manufacturing companies and showed them how to do the same thing. And over that period, I refined these ratios so they now apply to most manufacturing companies.

Value

Using these ratios, I’ll show you how to do that too. No one else can do that for you.

I’ll help you find where your red line is and where your green line can be. Your Super-Factory. Which will deliver these super-benefits for you:

Get your products through faster:

• Lead time down from weeks to days, from days to hours
• Having 100% on-time customer service
• Lower inventories
• And freeing up working capital to use elsewhere in your business

Get more products through your existing facility:

• Typically increase your productivity by 50%
• Which gives lower unit costs, more profits and price flexibility in your marketplace

Get your products through 100% right first time:

• No defects, rejects or rework
• Less waste and higher yields
• Giving you even higher profits

That’s what I do. Help you relieve the stresses and frustrations you face in running a manufacturing company. Help you make more money. And beat your competition. I’ll give you bigger benefits quicker than anyone else.

And in addition, I won’t use a bunch of fresh-faced consultants that can’t talk sensibly on the shop floor. I’ll use your brightest young people in these roles. It’s the best training they can get to become your senior managers of the future.

Every day you continue with your current approach costs you money in lost productivity and profits. Your Super-Factory is waiting to be discovered.
