Capabilities
When output, quality or delivery is under pressure, improvement needs to work where the problems occur. Project7 works alongside your leaders and teams to stabilise performance, expose recurring losses and implement practical changes.
We combine Lean improvement, structured problem solving and daily management with coaching. The aim is to improve current performance while building the routines and capability needed to sustain it.
Jon is an internationally experienced Lean expert who specialises in embedding sustainable performance through practical coaching, system thinking, and leadership development across complex environments.
We establish the current condition through data and direct observation, agree the performance gap and work with your team to test and implement changes. Where recovery is urgent, we combine short-term control with work on the underlying causes.
A focused area of improvement that can demonstrate what works before wider deployment.
Better control of the constraints affecting throughput, reliability, quality and delivery.
Agreed baselines and measures that make operational benefits visible.
Stronger ownership and problem-solving capability within the people doing the work.
We select the response around your operational challenge, rather than applying a fixed toolkit. Scope, priorities and measures of success are agreed with you.
Improve a defined line, process or work area, testing better ways of working with the team. Use the learning to establish practical standards and guide wider replication.
Use observation and operational information to expose waiting, disruption, rework and coordination losses. We select an appropriate diagnostic approach for the type and variability of the work.
Support an operation under pressure with experienced practitioners who help establish priorities, improve control and coach the team through recovery. Accountabilities, decision rights and handover arrangements are agreed at the outset.
Address the constraints affecting material, information and decision flow. Depending on the operation, this may include planning and scheduling, changeovers, work readiness, equipment reliability and handovers.
Define the problem, understand the current condition, test potential causes and verify countermeasures. We coach your people to use evidence and appropriate tools, then confirm whether the improvement holds.
See how focused problem solving and standard work released capacity and improved maintenance productivity.
18 hoursadditional production capacity per month
A focused investigation resolved a long-standing feed constraint. The subsequent engineering modification achieved a reported six-week investment payback.
50%reported productivity increase
Standard work and waste analysis improved maintenance consistency. The case separately reports £540,000 in cost avoidance.
Results describe the individual historical engagements and their stated measurement periods. Identified opportunities, cost avoidance, delivered results and programme scope are different measures; figures should not be added together or treated as guaranteed outcomes.
