Business Overview:
Compliance to modern Business Management standards, and their embodied culture of Continuous Improvement is seen as the gateway to supplier selection by the majority of prominent businesses in today's marketplace.
WITHOUT appropriate ACCREDITATIONS &/or culture, the available MARKETPLACE in which potential suppliers, whether of product or service, can operate IS MINIMAL.
It is against this background of emerging compliance requirements & increasing business competion that David Sopp & Associates Ltd. has identified an opportunity to be a service provider for Consultancy, Assessment & Training activities focussed on Business Improvement opportunities.
The business is also targeting markets that are dependant on "Supply Chain" relationships, where activities are aligned to the understanding & improvement of customer-supplier interfaces impacting Quality, Cost & Delivery (QCD)
To support these activities David Sopp & Associates can offer well developed skills in training & use of the tools of Continuous Improvement, either as part of a generic LEAN package, or applied in support of identified problematic programmes.
