Benluc Business Consultants

Through a comprehensive review of a company and its systems, I can utilise corporate management techniques to assist SME owners to better manage and understand their business and develop better and more robust processes.

In order to develop your team members a business owner must first understand his or her management style. By first reviewing the managers techniques and adjusting these accordingly, we can work on the development of the team. By reviewing staff responsibilities and skills, we can put together a comprehensive and individual development plan for each employee to enhance their skills and training and improve productivity and well being in the workplace.

Having worked in both manufacturing and services businesses at both corporate and hands on management levels, reviews of systems, processes, logistics and the supply chain are essential to the efficiency and reputation of a company. Product recalls and service failures are examples of poor operations management. By engaging an operations management consultant and working closely with the business management to understand their systems and procedures, a business owner can develop a unique set of strategies and systems to ensure a robust and compliant operations management focus, that will help enhance a grow a business’s reputation for quality and reliability.

With years of supply chain experience within Corporate Management, I have the knowledge to be able to offer supply chain management help in order to educate and assist SME business owners in ensuring consistent and on time supply of components or services. This, together with improvements in supply chain management processes will increase profits, and strengthen supplier relations.

Understanding the end goal of any negotiation is important to the outcome. A contract should be fair to all parties and must be compliant. Giving business owners an understanding of contract negotiation techniques and contract negotiation strategies is one of the necessary steps to achieving a mutually beneficial and binding contract. With experience in negotiating corporate contracts, it is necessary to work through the phases of the negotiation process and I will be on hand to advise and consult throughout the process.

Reviewing past sales, future growth, market developments and competitor strategies will be the start of a comprehensive business review. The importance of business forecasting cannot be over stated and I work with the business owner and his management to deliver a business budget and forecasting process that works for the SME owner and the company.

A detailed cost analysis will help a business owner understand where cost is incurred and where savings can be made, without compromise to the business. By engaging with a business cost analysis consultant, an SME business owner will be better prepared to identify and manage the outgoings from the business and reduce cost in a stable and managed way. I work with the owner and their management teams to review all areas of cost within the business and create a cost benefit analysis model to improve efficiency and reduce cost, without loss of service or quality.
