Contract Resource 

We provide experienced people to undertake a variety of activities from basic data collection to a senior person at consultant level. These people would include productivity practitioners, industrial engineers, work study engineers, analysts. Often supplementing your own in-house resource, they would work to your brief. We select the people best suited to the skill and knowledge base that you require.

We provide individuals, teams or team leaders on an hourly or daily rate to work to your budget and timescales.

The benefits of using Scott-Grant contract resource include

Typical needs

Can you identify with some of these issues in your own business sector? They’re fairly typical of current realities facing management today. We provided experienced contract resource to address these issues and enable the business to move forward.

Construction sector
We need to establish robust KPIs and benchmark performance across all our sites

Manufacturing sector
After some product changes we need to re-measure and balance our assembly lines

We know some time is being wasted, but we don’t know how much or why

Process sector
We’ve invested in new equipment and need to be sure it delivers consistently high OEE

Public sector
Our overtime policy isn’t helping the business – it’s covering or even rewarding inefficiencies

Can we justify additional admin staff?

We need to develop a database of standard times to allow us to manage more cost-effectively

Retail sector
We must have regular audits and reviews of work standards for our staffing database

Service sector
Some cleaners can clean more hotel rooms than others in the same time – how can we measure and plan accurately?

Transport and distribution sector
We’ve made significant changes to layout and equipment – now we have to establish accurate staffing levels, capacities and picking targets for an incentive scheme
