Phase 5 Group assists organizations in designing, deploying and sustaining world class production systems.

The production system concept has its roots in the automobile industry, but more and more leading companies in the chemicals, mining, and food & beverage industries, among others, are trying to figure out ways to adapt the principles, methodologies, and tools to drive sustainable improvements in operational performance.

That being said, while the production system concept is picking up steam, many companies don't even have an agreed definition for a production system, much less a clear vision as to how the organization will function differently if successful in implementing one.  Having helped companies to implement successful production systems across many industries, Phase 5 Group has aligned on a simple answer to the question, "what is a production system?" 

Simply put, companies can claim a production system at the point in which they have (1) identified the best operating and maintaining practices for their buisness (i.e., the practices that help them to grow/maintain market share), (2) implemented these practices successfully (i.e., a successful implementation must be line-driven), and (3) sustained and improved upon these practices over time.  Phase 5 Group has identified 6 characteristice of companies with world class production systems compared traditional operations, described below:
