Know Your Numbers

Revenue Per Labour Hour

This is the single most important metric in any manufacturing operation. Revenue generated per labour hour tells you whether your floor is a profit engine or a cost centre. Most operations directors cannot give you this number on the spot. If yours is below £150, there is almost certainly hidden capacity waiting to be unlocked.

The number of finished units one operator produces in one hour at your current rate.
Include on-costs if known. If not, your base hourly rate is a good starting point.
Use your average selling price per unit, not the cost price.

How It Works

The MN Method

Every engagement follows a proven four-phase sequence — never rushing to automation before the foundations are solid.

01
Diagnose

Deep-dive into your current state. Process mapping, waste identification, data analysis and team interviews to pinpoint where value is leaking — and why.

Value Stream Mapping
8 Wastes Identification
Root Cause Analysis
Stakeholder Interviews
02
Stabilise

Build standard work, visual controls and quality foundations. Unstable processes must be fixed before automation is introduced — or you automate the chaos.

03
Optimise

Apply Lean tools to eliminate waste, reduce changeover times, improve flow and unlock hidden capacity across people, equipment and materials.

Automate

Now automate — with clear ROI, correct process sequencing, and a stable foundation that is ready. Smart automation delivering fast payback and sustained results.

The Automation Advantage

Intelligent automation
starts with a stable process

Most automation projects fail not because the technology is wrong — but because the underlying process was never ready. MN Consultants eliminates that risk by stabilising and optimising before a single robot is specified.
