As a result, our KPI performance 'On Time to Requisition' went from 45% to 90%, getting zero escalations and freeing up time to develop my team further."

"Whilst procedural outcomes were good, waiting times were too long and patients were coming to harm on the waiting list. Darren helped us develop a greater understanding of the entire pathway of care and the thinking behind the Lean process. He enabled us to create a culture of continuous improvement, with the dramatic results of reduced waiting time and increased procedural volume."

Ewan Reed
Operations Director, Technip FMC

"Technip FMC is a leading technology provider to the traditional and new energies industry. We have been on a lean/CI journey for over 10 years; our processes and systems had matured to the level of operating obeyas and a good level of visual management.

Despite our maturity, we struggled to tackle recurring problems across our value chain that were ultimately impacting our ability to consistently meet our production/customer commitments.

Darren Walsh helped us develop a deeper understanding of the thinking behind the lean tools and linkages in our visual management systems. He has helped us embed a series of management routines that have enabled us to build and maintain our standards.

Today we have improved our output across all areas of our manufacturing plant by over 50% and we are developing a culture of solving recurring problems at the right level - from senior management to operator."
