Henkan – Reshaping the standards

If your business isn’t as productive as it should be, you might be thinking about investing in new machinery, taking on staff, relocating to new premises or even rebranding completely. This is a common reaction, with businesses assuming that they need to spend their way out of it if something isn't working.

That’s not necessarily the case.

At Henkan, we get to know our clients, identify what is and isn’t working, put the right processes in place, and ensure these changes are fine-tuned over time as part of a Continuous Improvement (CI) programme.

If you’re thinking this sounds like a lengthy process, what if we said your business could go from unsystemised and unproductive to highly efficient and effective in the space of less than six months? That’s what the Henkan Intervention programme is all about.

We offer you approachable and actionable support, backed up by our extensive experience, which can transform your operations into the slick, well-oiled machine they should be.

How does it work?

Where we come into our own is in just how quickly we can change the culture of your business. Many businesses realise they could be doing better, but they’re concerned that a serious shift in the way they work could take many years – time they can ill afford.

At Henkan, we understand that time is of the essence in business, and we believe we should set the standard for our industry by gaining results much more quickly. The Henkan Intervention programme ensures we get to understand your business, remembering that there is no one-size-fits-all business solution and that companies are as unique as the people behind them.

It starts with a robust analysis of your specific issues. We take a look at what you are doing now, clarify and establish your goals, analyse all data available, and agree on expectations.

We then put the plan together and turn it into action. Our on-site activities will be tailored to your specific needs, with long-term sustainable solutions in mind, delivered using our proven approach.

Why choose Henkan?

We believe we always go a step further than our competitors, not just in achieving results fast, but working closely with our clients to surpass their expectations. We do this with the help of:

- A thorough analysis of your losses
- Decades of experience with a hands-on approach
- Robust and comprehensive site-based activities
- Consistent delivery and measurable results
- Continued support throughout

We are very pleased to recommend to you Paul Wright of Henkan, a lead consultant at our factory for the last two years. We hired Henkan to support our organisation through our Lean journey. Our factory has recently been confirmed as the most advanced Lean site amongst all the Philips Factories implementing Lean.

The support from Henkan is contributing to speed up and reinforce our program. I want to mention the cooperation with Henkan for the senior Auditing process, which represent the keyframe to keep consistency and pace. Henkan’s wide WCM competence and open mind approach made easy the model alignment and effective feedback.
