The situation

Calder & Co. came to us at a turning point. Lean transformation and a new planning system for a 90-year-old engineering company.

What we did

We spent the first four weeks on the ground: interviews, data and site visits. Together with the leadership team we chose three priorities and built a plan with clear owners and milestones.

Making it stick

A Verity team stayed in place through implementation, running a weekly performance rhythm with the executive team until the new way of working became routine.

The impact

2.1x throughput and -38% scrap rate within eighteen months.
