We provide the answers....

At Change Resource we understand that reducing visible cost is all too easy. We also realise that attacking costs without a true understanding of the associated processes, can be a recipe for strategic disaster: one of our consultants was recently hired by a firm that had invested in robot welding, laid off its ‘redundant’ expert welders, only to discover that another function the welders carried out was vital to their process, and not covered at all by the robot! Red-faced executives re-hired the welders at contract (higher) rates, but had the presence of mind to call in outside help to get the real cost reduction in place.

Thankfully, the end result was a net saving of €1.9 million!

At Change Resource, we look at end-to-end process costs, and while we are about it, our teams will search for invisible waste, such as stand by time, pacing, redundant process steps. Once we have made these costs visible, we work with your management teams to attack the root causes of the waste, taking it out of your process, forever.

We are very careful how we handle welders, as well!
