Industry Forum

Sectors

Industry Forum is a manufacturing improvement specialist. Our manufacturing business consultants work predominantly with organisations operating in the automotive, aerospace, construction, consumer appliance, electronics and food sectors.

Over the past 18 years, our manufacturing business consultants have helped companies compete, often globally, through business improvement and change. We do this by transforming inefficient processes; improving knowledge and skills; accelerating product development; increasing manufacturing capacity; and reducing costs.

Each of our consultants and practitioners offers extensive specialist sector and senior leadership experience drawn from their employment in industry. The benefit to clients is wisdom and pragmatism: we only ever promise what we know we can deliver.

  • We work within the client’s team and deliver results together
  • We reduce losses from unnecessary waste
  • We help sites optimise their layout and control resources
  • We streamline supply chains to add bottom line value
  • We deliver significant financial improvements
