We run the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service (SMAS) across the whole manufacturing supply chain in Scotland. We work intensively with businesses across all sectors and of all sizes in Scotland, from Shetland to the Borders.
Technology, automation and global supply chain opportunities mean the business world is changing fast. To maintain future competitiveness, it’s increasingly vital you engage your entire workforce in supporting innovation and the adoption of new processes and technology.
We can help your manufacturing business plot a course to take advantage of new opportunities to increase productivity and boost competitiveness.
Our respected team of 22 practitioners are proven industrial leaders who guide businesses through immediate tactical challenges as well as longer term strategic change.
With a minimum of 15 years’ experience in manufacturing, the team has a wealth of knowledge and can connect into an incredible network of support. Their ‘fresh pair of eyes’ approach challenges businesses to prepare and plan for the future.
Our role is to support improvements in productivity, culture and behaviours from the shop-floor to the boardroom. Our improvement projects can be tailored to solve an immediate business issue or focused on a more significant change programme.
