Case study: On-time delivery’s transformational impact on industrial manufacturing at Renold
Facing leadership and delivery challenges
Renold’s industrial site was struggling with on-time delivery during a period without key leadership roles filled. This created an urgent need for strategic action to improve performance and morale.
Strategic goals for improvement
The aim was to enhance on-time delivery and rejuvenate team spirit, setting the stage for sustained excellence in operations and culture.
Implementing a data-driven and employee engagement approach
By focusing on accurate ERP data and direct engagement with production processes, the strategy sought to identify and address inefficiencies, fostering a culture of accountability and precision.
Introducing a culture of daily accountability
Daily production meetings introduced a disciplined focus on immediate goals, significantly contributing to the operational turnaround and enhancing team cohesion.
Achieving remarkable delivery performance
These efforts improved on-time delivery from 65% to 94% using existing resources, showcasing the effectiveness of strategic focus and team engagement.
Maintaining client relationships and operational efficiency
“Thomas is honest, approachable and is great with people. He really gets involved and is open, so everyone takes to him and trusts him. He has a holistic approach and improves things by understanding the complete system. When he worked with us, he left us a more engaged workforce and management team, more accountability and improved a lot of other metrics which simply would not have happened without him.”
Adam Worsley – Group Managing Director, Renold PLC
On-time delivery, employee engagement and continuous improvement is the key
This project emphasises the critical importance of on-time delivery as a key to operational growth and customer retention. Renold’s experience demonstrates that failing to meet delivery commitments can risk existing customer relationships and deter potential new ones. The successful turnaround at Renold serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of strategic focus, teamwork, and leadership in addressing operational challenges and driving sustainable growth.
