Improving Productivity & Increasing Profitability

Total Productivity Solutions Ltd (TPS) are specialists in manufacturing profitability improvement and process optimisation for ambitious FMCG manufacturers. With over 20 years’ experience delivering engineering projects, lean manufacturing, and process re-engineering across the Food, Beverage, and regulated non-food sectors, we focus on practical solutions that improve factory performance, reduce production costs, and increase profitability; particularly in Ready-To-Eat (Ready-To-Drink) and fresh produce packing operations.

Typical outcomes include 10–30% OEE improvement and six-figure cost reduction, delivered through structured, hands-on operational change.

We understand the operational and commercial pressures of supplying high street retailers, where service, cost control, and consistency are critical. Our expertise in manufacturing efficiency improvement, project engineering, and capability development supports Managing Directors and leadership teams who need to improve performance and deliver sustainable, measurable results.

If you are leading a manufacturing business and struggling to maintain profitability while meeting service expectations, Total Productivity Solutions was built to help you regain control and deliver measurable improvement.

We support manufacturing businesses with a turnover between £25M and £250M to reduce waste, improve OEE, and unlock significant margin improvement, through engineered solutions that deliver both productivity gains and service reliability.

TPS is not a training provider or advisory-only consultancy.

We work with manufacturing businesses that are ready to take action and deliver measurable operational and financial improvement.

If you are looking for:

  • Free advice
  • Early-stage exploration
  • Ideas without implementation

Then we are unlikely to be the right fit.

Our approach to manufacturing improvement is structured and combines:

  • Value stream optimisation
  • Factory layout and process design
  • Manufacturing systems and data integration
  • Hands-on implementation within live production environments

We deliver practical manufacturing improvement, not theoretical reports.

Our Manufacturing Profitability Diagnostic is a structured, paid assessment designed to:

  • Identify production inefficiencies and cost drivers
  • Quantify waste and lost capacity
  • Highlight opportunities for margin improvement
  • Define a clear, prioritised improvement roadmap

This is the first step for manufacturers serious about improving profitability.

If you need to future-proof your manufacturing operation, strengthen your team’s capability, and build a sustainable competitive advantage, our targeted, hands-on approach is designed to deliver results—not just recommendations.

Delaying action allows inefficiencies and cost to compound, early intervention delivers the strongest returns.

Book an Operational Effectiveness Diagnostic to identify cost reduction and performance improvement opportunities within your factory.
