Rapid Rightsizing

Speed and Agility Are More Important Today Than Ever

Worldwide markets are in a state of flux. Daily headlines announce layoffs, plant closings, and double-digit quarterly sales declines. Manufacturers must manage excess inventory, tight cash flows, and decreased access to credit for funding operations and growth. But where there’s uncertainty and change, there’s always opportunity. Agile and financially stable companies are capturing customers from weakened competitors, speeding new product introductions and taking other steps to gain market share and grow when the economy turns around.

TBM’s Lean Sigma Rapid Rightsizing initiatives can help you find the cash you need to survive and invest for the future. We focus on inventory, receivables, floor space, quality and energy efficiency to generate a 3X to 15X return on investment. Our dedicated SWAT teams blend project work and targeted kaizen events to drive immediate improvements in a few targeted areas. Today, our Rapid Rightsizing teams are working non-stop on a variety of short-duration 60- to 120 to 180-day projects across the United States that are driving savings of hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars straight to our clients’ bottom lines.
