About this support
Make UK's Productivity Improvement service provides Lean and Six Sigma consulting to manufacturing and other businesses seeking to launch or reinvigorate continuous improvement initiatives. The service is delivered by experienced practitioners who work directly with businesses, from shop floor to boardroom, aiming to make an immediate and significant impact on business transformation. Two main strands are described: business transformation support, which helps businesses transform operations, solve complex challenges and increase efficiency, ranging from performance turnaround to major restructuring; and continuous improvement support, which focuses on embedding changes into organisational culture and sustaining momentum over the long term. The page positions this as consultancy for businesses of any size and industry, not solely manufacturing, though it sits within Make UK's manufacturing-focused service offering. Interested businesses are directed to contact Make UK by phone or email to discuss their specific needs. The page also references Make UK's wider Member Benefits Programme, which offers additional discounts and services to members, though the productivity improvement service itself is presented as a paid consultancy engagement rather than a grant or funded scheme.
Who it is for
Open to businesses of any size and industry seeking Lean/Six Sigma consultancy support; no further formal eligibility criteria are stated on the page.
Where it is available
Available UK-wide.
