Find the constraint.
Lift the throughput.
Operational improvement for manufacturing, NHS and supply-chain clients. We map where work slows down, then redesign the process around it.
A four-stage method
Each stage depends on the one before it.
Map
Value-stream and constraints mapping, end to end, to locate the real bottleneck.
Analyse
Flow, variability and capacity against demand — the constraint quantified, not estimated.
Redesign
Process redesign using proven lean tools — systematic streamlining of the workflow.
Embed
Implementation support so the new process holds and capacity stays lifted.
Where we work
Operational and supply-chain improvement, with depth in manufacturing flow and NHS capacity planning.
Value-stream & constraints mapping
End-to-end mapping that exposes where time, stock and capacity are lost, and the single constraint governing output.
Process optimisation
Streamlining workflows to cut variability and rework, applying lean principles to the specific operation.
Capacity & throughput planning
Matching capacity to demand and lifting volume — including NHS Community Diagnostic Centre planning.
Supply-chain & logistics review
Independent review of distribution and supply-chain design, drawing on MST & Co's own operating experience.
What changes after we leave.
Engagements are judged on measurable movement, not a slide deck.
NHS Community Diagnostic Centres
Capacity planning for NHS Community Diagnostic Centres — applying the same map-analyse-redesign method to a high-demand healthcare operation, where lifting throughput directly affects patient access.
Tell us where it slows down.
Describe the operation and the constraint you suspect. You'll get a clear view of scope and approach before any commitment.
