  DEVELOPING YOUR NEW IDEAS:

  To succeed in today’s global market you need to be constantly thinking how can we do things differently? How can we do things better? MAS will help you generate and realise new ideas, identify new market opportunities, consider new materials, products and processes – and develop new business models.

  IMPROVING YOUR PROCESSES:

  MAS works with you to identify the obstacles that are limiting the performance of your business. We have the tools to reduce your waste and transform your efficiency and profitability. This is often referred to as “lean manufacturing”.

• 

  GROWING YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN:

  In response to competitive pressures, major manufacturers are buying an increasing quantity of goods from external suppliers. If you are a small or medium sized, growing manufacturer, MAS can help you maximise this opportunity. Our advisors have extensive experience in this area. They will look at Supply Chains from your company’s perspective. This will ensure that you maximise the potential and avoid the pitfalls.

How we will work with you

We will provide a free review of your business.

Having identified priority areas, your local MAS Advisor may then be able to offer some grant funding to contribute towards improvement costs or projects.

Your MAS Advisor will:

• Contact you for an initial discussion and if appropriate arrange to visit your manufacturing business
• Undertake a short business review, during the visit, and talk through identified improvement areas
• Support you with easy to complete, grant application paperwork and the selection process of a consultant/trainer if required
• Identify the priorities with you, quantifying and qualifying the anticipated outcomes and benefits
• Measure the benefits to your business when the project is completed
