“‘The two day Chartered Management Institute National Convention … brought together the best of British management … Bubblequest, Cadbury Schweppes, and Microsoft sponsored the event, with Bubblequest unveiling its Visual Management ‘Performance Centre’ powered by ‘FirstLine’ lean software. More than 250 stand visitors were treated to a view of this cutting edge lean re-engineering technique and booked appointments to scrutinise the system further as a potential driver behind their own lean transformation.
Bubblequest has captured the essence of ‘lean’ in an easy to use, off-the-shelf system that involves and inspires everyone to crate their own can-do goal focused culture.
“FirstLine enables managers and work teams to access and maintain a range of inter-related performance information from Key Performance Indicators and skills matrices, to attendance and safety records …. FirstLine can be populated with data from a variety of sources to produce accurate information in standard formats.”
“FirstLine can make a difference even to the most well fun firms … there is no factory, company or organisation in the Midlands, or anywhere else, that it would not make at least 30% more efficient. The success or failure of a lean initiative comes down to implementation and … the traditional lack of consistency in the presentation of output data can often lead to failure of a programme. The ease of access to information in FirstLine overcomes this problem.”
The Birmingham Post, Business section – 1 January 2008“..Greg Simpson, a business trouble-shooter who helped to achieve dramatic efficiency improvements for big name firms like Cadbury, BMW and Alcan … says that his new lean software package ‘FirstLine’ can make a big difference even to the most well-run firms.”
