Managing Director
MaxiTRANS Manufacturing
"...in October 2002 after carefully monitoring Sydney Consulting Corporation's
performance with a number of companies, MaxiTRANS decided to engage
Sydney Consulting to undertake a review of our primary manufacturing
facility in Ballarat. The purpose of this review was to identify
process improvement opportunities and increase production capacity
utilising the existing resources. In addition to this we were keen to
ensure that we extracted the full benefits of our recent capital
upgrade expenditure.
Now that the 26-week implementation program has been
completed on time and on budget, with the targeted savings and benefits
also being met, I wanted to take this opportunity on behalf of the
Company to thank you and your staff for doing such a professional job.
I was very impressed with the way your team worked
with our management and shopfloor to ensure that the improvements were
introduced in such a way that they were sustainable and that our
employees took ownership of them. The formal weekly progress review
meetings were also a good idea and effectively removed any roadblocks
before they became an issue.
From our point of view Sydney Consulting Corporation
has enabled MaxiTRANS to achieve significant improvements in
profitability, quality and production levels. As a result of this
success we are delighted you have agreed to undertake a similar process
review program at our Panels and Foam manufacturing facility at Hallam."
Excerpt from the Australian Financial Review 11th July, 2003, Page 28
"... Maxitrans has surged to 50c after hitting 41c last week.
The company, which makes, sells, rents and repairs transport equipment,
has turned around, helped by a buoyant market, the finishing of a
factory upgrade at Ballarat and improved efficiency at its Ballarat,
Hallam and NZ plants. Profits surged 136 per cent in the first half
and are forecast to grow more than 230 per cent for the full year..."
