Ian Walsh, Partner, Argon & Co

For over 20 years, we have helped hundreds of New Zealand businesses improve productivity and increase EBIT.

The outcomes are practical, measurable, and often achieved without significant capital investment. For example:

• A plastics manufacturer increased throughput by 60%, with the same labour cost
• A food manufacturer reduced waste by 50%, saving more than $1 million annually
• An electrical manufacturer improved assembly productivity by over 30%

These results come from looking at the whole system: people, processes, technology, and the underlying causes of performance issues. By applying the right methodologies and tools in practical ways, we deliver meaningful outcomes within short timeframes.

Working alongside businesses, we build internal capability, so improvements are sustained long after the initial work is complete.

If you would like to know more, come and see us at EMEX. We will be running a competition to help you understand how productive you are today, and how much more productive you could be. We will also be speaking on these topics during the event.

We look forward to seeing you there.
