SMART Business Consultancy
Resource Management
Business resources are literally all around us but we do not always utilise the tools and services available to us in an effective, efficient way.
Often different departments within an organization will create their own procedures and structures creating unnecessary duplication and inefficiencies.
Our consultants at SMART Way Forward work with your management teams to identify these areas, then help you implement procedures to control the levels of work duplication and time wastage within your organisation.
Contracts for Resource Management services are based upon a minimum term of one day per week, for a duration of one month. Bespoke rates are applied, based upon location, preparation and implementation time required for each contract.
Local authority*
SMART Way Forward were asked by a local authority to present a proposal listing different options on how the sport and recreation department could reduce their overhead costs and begin implementing a strategy for lean management.
The work SMART Way Forward delivered included:
- SMART Way Forward reviewed their existing overhead costs and presented a number of workable options on how the department could reduce their overhead costs, yet still effectively deliver their commitments and hit their performance targets
- A number of strategies were discussed, including those for streamlining their internal procedures, as well as stationery costs, planning of staff rotas and reviewing their existing maintenance contracts and external supplier agreements.
- The local authority went on to successfully implement one of the proposals presented. The outcome resulted in streamlining staffing costs, negotiation of supplier maintenance contracts and reduced overhead across the department.
