Operations and supply Chain Improvements

A challenging interplay of content, structures, systems and organizational development.

Content

We bring broad expertise and implementation experience across the full scope of operations and supply chain to the table. The hands-on experience in operations roles in the manufacturing industry is also present in our team and a prerequisite for working at ARV Consulting.

Manner of working

We always work tailor-made and never from standard solutions. Together with our customers, we make an analysis of what needs to be done and also where our help is needed and where not. Our support is set up on this basis.

Sustainable development

We organize all improvements as much as possible on the basis of buy-inn on every level of the customer organization because in our experience local ownership is the basis for sustainable results. A cooperation model instead of classic consultancy model is the preferred way to implement our assignments.

Selection of our customers

A small selection of the companies and organizations for which we have been able to provide our added value.

ARV Group helped us not only to improve our operational processes, but also the way our people fit in and feel about their roles. That has been of crucial importance in preparing Smilde Bakery to meet the challenges to come.
”

Alex Kruiter

Smilde Bakery

”
A crucial point for us was that ARV Group was able to hook up with the TPM program in a way that didn't place one-sided emphasis on tools; besides being results-oriented, their people-orientation and collaborative approach were decisive factors in the success of this demanding project.
”

Dick Pouwels

Royal Peijnenburg NV

”
The great thing about the program was how it showed that improved results and training in target-oriented working methods go hand-in-hand. The program was made to order, and a true case of "on-the-job training".
”

Emile Mastenbroek

Attero B&M

”
ARV Group's assistance in identifying potential areas of improvement, in establishing best practices for those improvements and finally in providing ongoing support for our people in improving the quality of their leadership has helped us enormously in our quest to develop the cost-leadership cheese plant of the future. Halfway through the process, we're well on our way to outstripping our original goals.
”

Frank Termote

Royal Friesland Campina Cheese

”
With the Clarity program we're writing company history, and that is quite an achievement, something we can all be proud of. The drive and motivation of the local MT was instrumental in making this project a great success as well. Clarity has facilitated the actual implementation of our Supply Point Master Plan, and so provides us with the competitive edge we strive for.

”

Jos Sluys

SaraLee CT&S

”
De samen met ARV Group ingezette verbeteringen hebben ertoe geleid dat onze locatie Katwijk nu het boegbeeld is van onze fabrieken. De hands-on aanpak in combinatie met de operationele expertise laten zien dat leiderschapsontwikkeling en dagelijkse focus op de operatie samen leiden tot significante resultaatverbeteringen.
”

Kamiel Steendijk

Izico Food Group

”
Met haar bijdragen aan het Clarity programma op ons Supply Point in Cuijk, heeft ARV Group duidelijk haar meerwaarde laten zien. Ze heeft onze mensen weten te stimuleren tijdens de internationale Clarity roll-out. In deze twee jaar zagen we concrete en duurzame verbeteringen, in zowel de productiviteit als de mentaliteit, door de hele organisatie heen. We hebben onze oorspronkelijke doelstellingen niet alleen gerealiseerd, maar zelfs overtroffen.
”

Best practice work processes and straightforward communication now let us stay on top of demand and go for further growth.

”

ARV Group helped us to intensify our drive for lasting improvement by actually linking in with the often-complex reality of daily operations. The tools applied were instrumental in helping all of us at CNC to develop more insight into our own work and the opportunities for change.
