Productivity Improvement

Assessing and improving productivity requires a deft, yet delicate, touch.

Crocodilio can apply process thinking, gained in leading edge manufacturing environments, to assess the potential for quality enhancement activities.

Importantly though, we reconise that whilst service environments may benefit from a degree of process thinking, they are rarely (if ever) suitable for treatment as a pure manufacturing environment. The context is important.

The company never attempts to “force fit” a pre-determined model to your organisation’s situation – we do not believe that a “one size fits all” approach to productivity achieves the optimal balance of efficiency and effectiveness that organisations require to remain sustainable in the long term.

Following appropriate analysis, we work with clients to frame improvement opportunities, presenting them with solutions that work in the context of the broader organisation. We can also bring quality system expertise to bear, developing ongoing productivity monitoring/reporting systems that allow you to monitor productivity and ensure that improvements are maintained.

With NHS clients, we understand the underlying concepts associated with QIPP – and can help you drive improvement in any one (or more) of the QIPP domains... building on what you already do, identifying new opportunities, or helping you better align your organisation (and its processes) to deliver in the current challenging environment.
