Manufacturers Network

The Manufacturers Network is a trusted partner to manufacturing businesses. We’re not afraid to push you to achieve your potential. We’re committed to developing a global network – connecting people, sharing experiences and protecting the future, helping manufacturers around the world achieve the exceptional. Whatever your role in manufacturing, we help you implement the changes that transforms your organisation. As specialists in Lean manufacturing, we identify opportunities and give you the skills and abilities to grow successfully and sustainably. We bring people together, develop organisations, build capabilities, and share our knowledge. We don’t work in your business. We work on it. With the latest technology, the leading experts, and our extensive experience, we partner with your organisation to build out your capabilities and help you deliver organisational excellence in manufacturing, from the shop floor to the boardroom. Do you want to upskill your employees? We offer education and training courses specifically for manufacturing businesses, from entry-level Lean manufacturing courses up to leadership qualifications for senior management. All are certified or accredited externally. We are also licensed Shingo affiliates, Lean Competency System certified, and Chartered Management Institute accredited. Nobody learns alone. No manufacturing organisation gets all the insight and expertise they need from the comfort of their own boardroom. So, we take manufacturers out of their comfort zone to learn from the experience of others to redefine what’s possible. We’re passionate about protecting the future of manufacturing. We’re committed to developing new talent and supporting the next generation of manufacturing businesses. Our charitable trust makes sure we put a fair proportion of our time, our work, and our profits back into our sector. Today’s popular mantra across industry is that you need to create the right culture to succeed. Creating culture means developing a working environment based upon a set of behavioural standards. Employees are then expected to adopt and conform to the rules that make up that culture. Running a company in line with operational excellence principles is the biggest challenge your business will ever face – but the rewards are numerous. Not only will you trim costs and boost production rates (along with quality), you’ll also find yourself deservedly side by side with many of the best businesses in the world.
