DC Recruitment take part in Cranfield University's Enhanced Professional Development Programme - Dudley Child Executive Recruitment

The team at Dudley Child would like to thank visiting students of Cranfield University, Chris Pogson and Iain Henderson, for their involvement in the streamlining and improvement of our internal office systems and procedures.

Chris and Iain took part in The Enhanced Professional Development Programme at Cranfield University, which is a four week programme covering a range of  interpersonal and business skills, including manufacturing improvement tools such as Six Sigma, 5S and Lean Manufacturing. The culmination of the project is a two day industry project which is aimed at utilising the skills and knowledge gained over the 4 week course.

Chris and Iain conducted their 2 day project with Dudley Child who are an Executive Recruitment Business operating solely within the manufacturing and engineering industry.  The team at Dudley Child were keen to understand if manufacturing systems such as Lean, 5S and Six Sigma could be beneficial in improving their transactional systems.

In a nutshell, their report highlighted a number of key areas that could be improved, with potential efficiency gains in some areas of the process being as big as 50%!

We look forward to making inroads into the points Chris and Iain made, and look forward to sharing news of our progress with them over the next three months.
