For manufacturers seeking to find new ways to boost shop floor performance, improve productivity and reduce costs, the Accelerated Route to Lean Manufacturing programme brings real results fast.
Richard was previously quality assurance manager with Weston EU, a precision engineering company based in Colne.
His long career in manufacturing has also included the roles of project manager, production leader and works engineer with companies such as British Steel and Honeywell UK.
Mike Price, Director of Operations for The Manufacturing Institute, said: "We are delighted that Richard has joined our team of high calibre manufacturing professionals.
His wide knowledge and expertise will undoubtedly be a major benefit to the very many manufacturers we support each year." The Manchester-based Manufacturing Institute formed its Improvement Practitioner team in 2002 when it was appointed to deliver the government funded Manufacturing Advisory Service in the North West.
During that time, its practitioners have helped manufacturers in the region amass more than GBP 15 million in cost savings - an average added value of almost GBP 250,000 to every company assisted.
