Chase Performance are specialist consultants in the implementation of Lean business improvement processes. Lean methodologies evolved in the manufacturing sector where they have been used to identify and eliminate "wasteful" or "non-value adding" activities. Lean processes have been highly effective in the resources sector where they are rapidly being implemented in an effort to create stable, safe and efficient mining environments.
Prime examples in Australia are BHP and RIO.
Even with companies like BHP and RIO who employ their own business improvement specialists, we can assist and support their programs in most cases cost neutrally through our nationally recognised programs that attract government funding to assist in the implementation.
Chase Performance combines extensive Lean experience from the manufacturing sector with decades of resource industry involvement through our experts. This is a unique and powerful offering resulting in the development and application of a tailored solution to our clients.
Our approach is to work with the management teams of operating resource sites to revitalise Business Improvement efforts through the targeted injection of Lean. Our experience at all levels of the organisation allows us to offer a range of solutions from company or site wide Lean implementations to specific process/problem solutions. Typical activities include:
- Ø Improving Site Safety & Efficiency through 5S implementation
- Ø Reduction in cycle time on repeat processes such as drill and blast, heavy vehicle servicing, underground deployment, preventative maintenance, etc.
- Ø Introducing and ensuring safety and efficiency routines and processes
- Ø Utilising visual information management for improved workforce participation
- Ø Enhancing the speed at which contractors can be mobilised and demobilised through quick changeover processes
- Ø Minimising the effects of equipment shutdowns, days lost and shift changes
- Ø Overall reducing waste, pollution and minimising effects on the environment through the implementation of environmental management systems (like ISO14000)
- Ø And many more…
Our most recent program with Leighton’s HWE has resulted in an immediate cost reduction of five Million Dollars in one small area of the business, with ongoing savings of the same amount on an annual basis.
