East Midlands Knowledge Network: Routes To University Expertise

 

Clegg Group Ltd

Description and aims

The project is aimed at identifying and implementing lean processes through the whole group. So this includes the head office functions, those that cascade down into the operating companies and then the operational activities at site levels are predicted to continue year on year.

About Clegg Group Ltd

The Clegg Group is a long established and successful regional business based in the East Midlands and involved in specialist construction. The two main operating companies specialise in food factories and custom projects respectively. Some of its recent projects include the dome roof for CenterParcs in Suffolk and the new stand at Trent Bridge cricket ground in Nottingham.

How the project is being undertaken

The nature of Clegg business is that each project tends to be unique in several key aspects. It is also a prime characteristic of this business type that being site based and being run using virtual principles that each project has a ‘start from scratch’ element despite the existence of a well established project process.

A key component of the project is the implementation of ISO9000 and the associated accreditation. This will enable Cleggs to enter new market sectors and mirror their success to date. The gain of projects in the sectors will bring revenue in the millions plus the associated employment and environmental improvements to the East Midlands.

Impacts and benefits

The benefits from this lean project will be gained in:

  • more efficient head office functions with reduced costs
  • better and more cost effective business unit management
  • improved site management processes with the recognition and adoption of common project elements and the clear definition of “unique” elements and their efficient management.
    The cost benefits are predicted to reach £150,000 during the implementation of the project and to continue to bring benefits in excess of £100,000 per year ongoing.

Overall the project will bring an enhanced strategic perspective for the Clegg Group. Lean systems will bring efficiency but also raise the groups competitive position enabling greater chance for additional success .
