Our Consulting and Improvement
Process
Improvement does not come gift-wrapped. Inventory Matters believes
that continuous and sustainable improvement only comes from a structured
process. |

1. Initialisation and Assessment
The project begins:
- Joint Steering Committee We work
with you to create a Joint Steering Committee. Together, we'll
determine the project’s strategic importance, establish
scope, set goals and create our plan. Joint Steering manages the
project, including internal communications.
- Client Core Team We work with
you to assemble your Client Core Team. These are the doers. They
know what the problems are already. Only they can implement lasting
solutions.
2. Analysis – Data and Processes
Inventory Matters consultants work with your Client Core Team to
analyse your data and your processes; identify and prioritise your
problems and challenges; and develop a coherent plan to deliver
sustained benefit to your operations.
The tools we use depend on your business, your needs and the parameters
we set at the Assessment stage.
