Manufacturing Consultants: 4 ways we can help grow your business
Manufacturers face unique challenges in today’s climate of global change. Delivering products on time and in full while meeting quality standards and cost requirements has never been more demanding.
Thankfully, Jigsaw Business Group’s specialist manufacturing consultants have hands-on experience working worldwide across various product manufacturing sectors.
Discover four innovative approaches our manufacturing consultants use to improve processes, reduce costs, and drive growth.
1 – Business Improvement/Support
Our practitioners understand the constraints facing manufacturing businesses across multiple sectors. Our expertise guarantees a fresh perspective on your processes and the introduction of steps for improvement that deliver results, including:
Development and deployment of business systems and process
Get tailored systems from our experts that effectively meet your business’s needs and goals.

We get to know your business, understand where you are, and recommend improvements to maximise business excellence.
Factory and process redesign
If your factory or manufacturing processes need improving, we can use our industry expertise to help redesign them so your company becomes more efficient and successful.
Project management office implementation
We ensure that your project management office and procedures help you maintain the highest standards and consistency across the business.
2 – Project Management
Project management might seem straightforward, but it’s often difficult to spot potential project flaws when managing other vital elements of your business.
Using a skilled and experienced project management consultant like Jigsaw will give you invaluable insight and objective input on improving your processes. Our high-quality, bespoke services for projects of various sizes and complexities across many manufacturing industries deliver impressive results for our clients.
Our reputation for delivering projects on time, within budget, and always adhering to necessary industry quality standards is unparalleled.
We introduce structure and set processes so you can achieve consistent, high-quality outcomes through exceptional project management skills, including:
Costs and timeline management
Your business could lose money due to a lack of management and straightforward processes. Effective project management will help ensure all work is on time and within budget.
Improved team communication and collaboration
Working on and completing projects to a high standard requires consistent communication and collaboration among all team members. A well-managed procedure will ensure effective teamwork to achieve the best results.
Increased quality of work and achieving project goals
With a solid structure and proper project management, your business’s manufacturing quality will significantly improve, increasing customer satisfaction and allowing your business to achieve sustainable growth.
3 – Supply Chain
The impact of global events has led many businesses to examine their supply chain for potential frailty and fragility.
Jigsaw’s supply chain management services help you implement a secure, structured, and cost-efficient process. Our services include:
Logistics optimisation
We help you establish a clear, controlled manufacturing process from creation to consumption so you can focus on operations and be confident of supply continuity.
Risk and failure mode analysis
We provide methods, tools, and training to enhance your team’s critical evaluation, risk analysis, and contingency planning skills.
Inventory Management and Control
We help you gather data, analyse it, and develop an action plan for achieving excellence and increased profitability.
Supply chain development
To create a robust, reliable supply chain, we work with your suppliers to ensure their capabilities and capacity match or exceed your manufacturing needs.
Supplier sourcing
We take the hassle out of your procurement team’s hands with a bespoke full-sourcing service that includes finding, locating, evaluating, and ranking potential suppliers.
4 – Business Training and Development
Business growth is often rapid. With increased scale comes the need for employees to grow and meet evolving business needs.
However, there is only so far you can go before staff reach their limitations, and your business stops meeting the demands it faces. With the expertise and support of a business development consultant, you can ensure your staff are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to reach their potential and drive results.
Practical training that will genuinely benefit your staff and business takes time. Many businesses don’t have the time—or the relevant information and knowledge—to support employee training across all aspects of their working lives. Beyond their job roles and responsibilities, employees need guidance on other essential elements like time management, mental wellness, and personal welfare.
That’s why using Jigsaw’s business training and development specialists is highly beneficial for sustainable growth. Our manufacturing consultants work with clients to perform organisational diagnostics and create tailor-made programmes.
