Unlock Your Business Potential
"The
Hidden Enterprise" represents our perspective on a more holistic approach
to operational improvement encompassing the entire Value Chain. It spans end-to-end business processes, transcending departmental
limits, and extends beyond internal functions to include suppliers,
customers, business partners, and the broader ecosystem. The name also suggests an element of mystery and depth, indicating that we aim for unique insights and solutions that are not immediately obvious.
In essence, "The Hidden Enterprise" can be viewed as an evolution of the concept of the "Hidden Factory" originally coined by Vollmann, Berry, and Whybark in the 1980s. "The Hidden Factory" refers to inefficiencies, rework, defects, and waste that exist within an organization's operations but remain concealed or unaccounted for. It represents the additional work and resources required to rectify errors, address defects, and manage various forms of waste stemming from process inefficiencies.
In today's landscape, most manufacturing operations have reached a reasonably high level of optimization and automation. However, what continues to persist are inefficiencies that manifest elsewhere within the organization. These inefficiencies are characterized by a lack of genuine collaboration between departments, siloed business systems, a persistence of manual processes and an overreliance on spreadsheets.
Unlock your business potential with "The Hidden Enterprise," a catalyst
for innovation and operational excellence, and sustainability. By adopting our holistic
approach, you unleash the power to streamline processes, embrace digitalisation, foster genuine
collaboration, and eliminate inefficiencies that may be "hidden" within
your organisation.
