PRODUCTIVITY DEPLOYMENT
A structured partnership delivering measurable productivity improvement
The Manufacturers Network is recognised for supporting organisations to deliver measurable improvement through practical, hands-on support. We act as an extension of your team, bringing together a network of specialist practitioners with deep experience across operations, people, systems, and culture.
Our customers see significant value in working towards a structured improvement plan with clear success measures, rather than relying on isolated programmes or ad hoc initiatives. The Productivity Partnership keeps you focused on the outcomes defined in your Productivity Assessment & Planning Workshop, ensuring progress is visible, measurable, and aligned to your goals.
Each partnership is built on collaboration and accountability. Together, we create a steering group that reviews progress, removes blockers, and ensures your plan continues to deliver value. Through regular coaching and performance reviews, our team provides the focus and momentum needed to sustain improvement.
This isn’t traditional consultancy, it’s a practical partnership that drives results.

Large or multi-site organisations seeking strategic, long-term partnership
Each level provides structured access to our full range of manufacturing support services — with a growing level of resource, coaching, and account management as your partnership expands.
Every manufacturing business is unique. Some are growing rapidly and managing the pressures of success; others are navigating tougher market conditions or balancing multiple priorities. Wherever your organisation is on that journey, productivity sits at the heart of long-term success. The Manufacturers Network Productivity Assessment helps leadership teams’ step back and gain a clear, objective view of performance. It highlights where value is being created, where it’s being lost, and what actions will have the greatest impact.
Many senior teams and boards have used the Productivity Assessment to set strategy, align priorities, and measure performance against strategic goals. For others, it’s been the catalyst for a structured improvement plan that delivers measurable results.
We see it as the first step in partnership. We don’t arrive to criticise or tell you what you already know, we work alongside you, combining your knowledge of the business with our experience from manufacturing sites across the world. Together, we identify opportunities, remove barriers, and build a clear plan to move your business forward.
