This is what Chasm do

We have all you need for CI, lean, 6 Sigma et al but start with the basics of 'deliver the day’. Are you hitting the plan, in the right sequence, the right quantity, to standard in terms of labour and material usage. It all comes back to process & people. Do you have a process (and is it fit for purpose)? Have you trained people to follow that process? What is the level of compliance to that process?

Business Systems

There are many systems to integrate in a factory and it is the combination of humans, machinery, and equipment that get the products out of the door. Either you have the systems and are not using them to full potential, or you don’t have the appropriate tools for the job.

People

People are at the heart of everything we do at Chasm. Making sure you have the right structure with defined roles & responsibilities backed up with competencies to do the job we are asking people to perform.
