From Corporate Expertise to SME Partnership
The journey behind The Idea Smith.
Three decades in manufacturing taught me one truth: systematic process optimization and data-driven methodologies create extraordinary profit improvements—when adapted to real-world operational constraints.
Working with SME manufacturers revealed a different landscape. These organizations possessed strong entrepreneurial drive and operational agility, yet often lacked access to systematic improvement methodologies.
The opportunity was clear: SME manufacturers were leaving significant profit on the table—not due to lack of capability, but due to lack of systematic diagnostic and improvement frameworks.
The Idea Smith was founded to bridge this gap—bringing structured manufacturing excellence methodologies adapted specifically for SME environments and operational realities.
Success in manufacturing comes from systematic execution, not organizational size.
Our track record across 50+ engagements validates this approach. SME manufacturers don't need large corporate resources—they need the right methodology, practical tools, and focused implementation support.
"Excellence in manufacturing is achievable at any scale—with the right approach."
