Learn how Scottish-based businesses have adopted a LEAN Business Management approach and are succeeding in today’s challenging business environment.

We would like to invite you to the latest in a series of exclusive debates on Wednesday, 8 February 2012 from 9am – 11am to explore what steps you can take to improve your business performance. This event is held at Dakota Eurocentral, just off the M8 (between Glasgow and Edinburgh).

Why should you attend?

One of several guest speakers at this event includes Colin MacKillop, Financial Director of Teknek, a world leading manufacturing company located in central Scotland. With the continued application of many LEAN Business Strategies, in the past ten years, Teknek has made a vast range of business improvements including a 60% business increase and a 1000% growth in profit, all of which have been achieved with existing staff levels. For example, the business has managed to reduce its inventory from £2.5 million to just £350k by radically improving their Supply Chain Management. This has also helped them to release valued capital to invest in other areas of the business.

Teknek will be sharing business insights and ideas that you can take back to your own business and potentially make very significant improvements in a short period of time.

Brought to you by Integrys, Scotland’s leading Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner, the first step is to understand what you can do to make an immediate and positive impact on the success of your business. For example, Integrys helped one client transform its complete-on-time-in-full delivery performance (COTIF) from 60% to over 99% with successful implementation of a fully integrated stock management system.

Key points for discussion

• How can you increase profitability in this economic climate?
• How could you delight your customers and use this as a fundamental step in the growth process?
• What could you be doing to reduce waste and minimise duplication of work?
• How can you become more agile to react to change and more effectively plan and schedule resources to meet your customer demands?
