Supporting SME´s to improve the manufacturing economy in the North East

Building Bridges Between Businesses

June 2006 sees the closure of the B2B Manufacturing Centre, a project funded by ONE North East and the ERDF to help manufacturing SME’s in the region improve their business

Congratulations to the companies that have benefited from the free assistance offered by the project, which from a survey of 1/3 of their 70+ clients revealed the creation of 23 new jobs, and £22M turnover, whilst safeguarding more than 135 jobs and £10M turnover.

The B2B Manufacturing Centre has been based within the School of Science & Technology at the University of Teesside, where some of the team members will join the Teesside Manufacturing Centre (01642) 342481.

The manager of the project, Brian Burgess is setting up a manufacturing consultancy, TPMPlus which is a group of associates with excellent skills and experience in manufacturing operations at both the strategic and operational levels. They have a track record of improving the bottom line of companies through the deployment of strategic processes, and a framework for operational improvements.

The particular strengths are:

  • The alignment of operational priorities to the strategic company objectives
  • The implementation and optimisation of ERP systems
  • The practise of Total Productive Management to identify the financial waste in a business, and focus resources where the company will most benefit

Their structured approach to the elimination of waste ensures rapid and sustained improvement to the business. Brian can be contacted on mobile 07766 910835, or brian@tpmplus.co.uk.
