BPIF | Membership Services | Specialist Services

Process Improvement can help your business whatever its size or discipline, and runs specialist programmes for companies operating in the following sectors; Newspapers, Commercial, Packaging and Books & Magazines. Continuous and rapid innovation, adding value as well as reducing costs, requires expert help based on an in-depth knowledge of process improvement in manufacturing generally, and of Best Practice in print in particular.

Process Improvement support has the expertise necessary to provide your company with tailored programmes to tackle these challenges, and is able to design and deliver these in a structured, practical format that everyone in your company, from boardroom to shop floor, can understand and engage with. Our focus is on building capacity for sustainable improvement within companies, rather than short-term gains, although you can expect to see early improvements in productivity as a direct result of our involvement.
