A division specialising in plastic injection within a big industrial Tier 1 supplier (€17bn turnover) had recently acquired a smaller company bringing new technology into the group. However, the plant specialising in this technology was not competitive, largely because of poor management.  The plant needed a new management and structure in place in order to take back control and start improvements.

The Solution

The client asked WIL Group to put in place a new Plant Manager.

Results

Within 7 months the WIL Group Plant Manager had:

• Rebuilt management authority
• Given middle management confidence
• Ensured that working rules were applied (shift, time, presence etc)
• Launched a Lean Manufacturing Improvement program
• Drastically reduced the plant’s financial losses
