Auretin Process Optimisation
Auretin is an operational excellence consultancy for UK manufacturers. We work across three areas: reducing waste and downtime on the shop floor and the operations that feed it; digital transformation to help you plan and integrate the right technology; and bespoke software and AI data tools where off-the-shelf either doesn't fit or is too expensive. Our team has worked at senior levels across Rolls-Royce, McKinsey, Bain, ASML, Monzo and EY, bringing that rigour to manufacturing engineering, data science, and business transformation, MBA, Chartered Engineer (IMechE), CIPD Level 5, and Lean/Six Sigma Black Belt qualified. We work alongside your team to embed change so it lasts, and on select engagements, we will share in the risks and rewards of implementation rather than bill purely for advice. If you run a UK manufacturing business, our two-week operational diagnostic is a fixed-fee way to get a clear picture of where you're losing money and where you could be making more. Get in touch to find out more.
