Achieving higher profitability in Foundries

System 21's track record in foundries is growing from strength to strength. Our success in foundry operations is actually spreading by word of mouth faster than through any form of direct marketing.
System 21 projects in foundries in the UK and in Europe have involved the workforce much more than in other types of project.

Our "directed team" approach to change in the foundry environment has achieved startling results in both large (300+ employees) and small companies (20+).

On average productivity has been increased by 30 to 40 % with improved quality and delivery times.

Individual privately owned foundries have generated record profit increases that have been sustained over the long term after the project.

As a direct result of this excellent track record, we now find ourselves being passed on to other foundry owners by our past clients such as Meighs, Westley Bronze and Continuus in Italy.
The productivity increases that have been achieved are the result of a combination of internal changes that are tailored to each company. These have included systems re-engineering, process change, integration of IT benefits, organisation restructure, design of incentive schemes, sales and marketing control and targets, margin analysis, accountability improvement and management training.
