  The MSc in Manufacturing Leadership

• 

  Professional Diploma in Manufacturing/Certificate in Manufacturing Management

• Steve Bamber, Head of Astute Operations, BAE Systems

  “The MSc course has taken my knowledge and understanding of enterprise leadership to a new level, which has been a key factor in securing promotion to my current role. My individual leadership style has shifted to being much more people-focused and my coaching skills have developed significantly."

• Stuart Devlin-Gray, Process Improvement Manager, James Dawson Ltd

  "I gained many personal benefits from attending the Diploma course. It has given me the confidence to talk knowledgeably to people at any level and has developed my understanding of manufacturing process types and tools to improve them. The in-company project identified improvements that have doubled the uptime n the extrusion department."

• James Tiernan, Manufacturing Manager, RS Clare & Co Ltd

  "Business improvement activities carried out using the knowledge and skills acquired from the certificate have resulted in a significant reduction in our product failure rate, which has in turn created savings in excess of £50,000 per annum. An increase in output from one of our key bottleneck machines has generated labour efficiency savings of £8,000 per annum."

• Martin Wild, Value Stream Production Manager, Federal-Mogul Friction Products

  "As a department we have seen month on month productivity improvements and overall improvements on machine efficiency purely by applying the teachings from the Certificate course. The shop floor buy-in has ensured that we maintain standards and look to continually improve."

• Steve Collier, Manufacturing Director, C-TEC

  "The Manufacturing Institute has been instrumental in helping our business to develop and grow."

• Marco Hibna, Lean Manager, Post Danmark

  "Every company that has global aspirations to be world-class needs to undertake Shingo Workshop training."

• Michael Lunn, Change Manager, Syngenta

  "To achieve world-class standards we need to embed the right culture and values across our organisation. The Cultural Enablers workshop has laid out the model for us to do just that."

• Mark Norbury, Continuous Improvement Project Leader, Albis (UK) Ltd

  “Working with the Institute has been invaluable to our business. The tools and techniques we have learned through the Accelerated Route to Lean programme have increased our manufacturing capacity by almost 10% and made savings in machine time of over £250,000. We're now integrating lean thinking across the whole business, not only in production but in areas like finance and sales."

• Chris Fawdry, Managing Director, Lucchini UK Ltd

  “The results we’ve achieved from the Accelerated Route to Lean course are fantastic for our employees who are the real pathfinders for the future success of our business. I want to see continued benefits for our business so we’re already starting to look at our next group of students for the programme.”

• Mark Davidson, Special Projects Manager, Innovia Films

  "Since attending the two day Six Sigma Yellow Belt course we now have a strong, developing structure of 27 Yellow Belts and four Green Belts, all involved in active projects. Having a foundation of Yellow Belt knowledge is fundamental in providing the critical mass and support structure for the Green Belts to drive and sustain the DMAIC approach to complex problem-solving."

• Wayne Fraternale-Denton, Shift Supervisor, Aurora Manufacturing

  "The Team Leader Development Programme has been invaluable to me as a team leader. I have developed the skills to get the most from my team and, as a result, have improved output on my shift by 25%."

• Tony Hickson, Human Resources Manager, Mettler Toledo Safeline Ltd

  “The content and delivery of the Internal Team Leader Programme clearly demonstrated the ability of The Manufacturing Institute to understand our requirements. Each and every one of our employees who attended has grown in confidence, changed the way they think and gained a greater appreciation of their role.”
