The Trindent approach to manufacturing and operations excellence is different. We work with your front-line staff to engineer change. Unlike other firms that use 'flavor du jour' approaches and expensive technology platforms, Trindent focuses on aligning the fundamental processes, tools and behaviors needed for competitive advantage.

OPERATIONS EXCELLENCE

Trindent can help generate rapid productivity gains. Effective operations is all about meeting customer quality, speed and schedule adherence expectations while maintaining low costs. Trindent is able to improve your productivity, throughput and uptime without major capital expenditures.

All of our operations excellence engagements differ, but we follow the same basic methodological steps to arrive at exceptional outcomes.

1. Strategy - Trindent will help you develop an approach that links the expectations of your customer base to the front line. After all, the key to sustained growth is being able to consistently delight customers. We will then custom-build the processes, tools and management behavioral models that will allow you to make this strategy a reality.

2. Process - Key business processes like order entry, assembly, quality assurance, packaging and shipping will be analyzed and improvement opportunities identified. We will then remove barriers to performance, operational constraints, and proceed with a plant-wide lean initiative designed to promote pull-processing and make backlog, quality and results visible to all.

3. Tools - We will custom-design a set of tools to track key volume and performance metrics and provide your management team with custom-built, critical business intelligence tools that work in real-time.

4. Management - Experience tells us that effective management behaviors and reward alignment ensures that gains are sustained and continuously improved upon. All of our tools are non-proprietary, and we make great efforts to coach and ensure sustainability.
