Strategy Alignment
Focus improvement where it matters most
We begin by understanding your business context — your growth ambitions, customer commitments and commercial pressures. This ensures productivity improvement is not done in isolation, but directly supports what matters most to your business. By aligning improvement activity to your strategic priorities and demand profile, we ensure effort is focused on the areas that will deliver the greatest commercial return.
Outcome:
A shared understanding of where productivity gains will have the biggest impact on growth, service and profitability.
Who it's for
The Productivity Accelerator is designed for ambitious SME manufacturers with strong market demand and a clear desire to grow. It’s ideally suited to businesses typically around £5m in turnover with c.30–50 employees, that have outgrown ad‑hoc improvement and now need clarity on where to focus to unlock their next phase of growth.
Productivity Accelerator works best for manufacturers that:
- Have serious growth ambitions and customer demand to support them
- Recognise that internal constraints (capacity, flow, productivity) are now limiting performance - not the market
- Have the leadership time and funding capability to act on improvement opportunities
If you’re an SME manufacturer with high growth potential and the appetite to invest in your future, the Productivity Accelerator helps you maximise return on that investment by delivering a clear, practical and prioritised roadmap - 50% funded by MTC.
Success stories
Dufaylite: 400% increase in output
Dufaylite, a leading sustainable packaging manufacturer, worked with MTC to remove production constraints and accelerate growth. Through a shop‑floor‑led improvement programme, output speed on a key line increased by 400%, annual throughput more than tripled, and costs were reduced — all without relocating. The engagement became a long‑term partnership supporting continued innovation and scale‑up.
Chafer Machinery: 45% productivity improvement
Chafer Machinery worked with MTC to remove production inefficiencies and improve on‑time delivery. By redesigning work areas and introducing visual management, build hours per machine were reduced by an outstanding 45%. The improvements enabled Chafer to double their turnover in two years without materially increasing any of their overheads, while maintaining quality and customer satisfaction.
Albert Jagger: 50% reduction in costs
Albert Jagger, a market‑leading vehicle hardware supplier, worked with MTC to successfully re‑shore manufacturing from China to the UK. Through factory optimisation, new technologies and skills development, they reduced production costs by 20–50%, halved stockholding and increased productivity - creating a more resilient, agile and future‑ready operation.
Harris RCS: 30% output increase
Harris RCS Engineering partnered with MTC to tackle productivity challenges following their move into aerospace manufacturing. By identifying and removing a key inspection bottleneck and re‑configuring workflow, productivity improved without investment in new equipment. The changes reduced costs, streamlined flow and engaged the whole workforce in continuous improvement.
Partnering for progress with Dufaylite
MTC helped Dufaylite - a sustainable manufacturing company unlock greater efficiency through a partnership and shared ambition. After conducting an initial line walk we understood their business and helped them develop a manufacturing strategy that would help them deliver their sales strategy - this lead to further projects that have delivered greater productivity and prepare to meet growing market demands.

A lot of people ask us why we chose the MTC, obviously we had a need and we went to Coventry to visit the facility and look at the whole set up and what goes on there and to be honest it was mind blowing. And we felt that was the partner for us. We wanted people pushing innovation and looking to drive things forward.
