AGS were quickly identified as the only supplier in the marketplace with the foresight to deliver a workforce management programme and savings target of this magnitude.

AGS leveraged the relationship between Procurement and Operations to challenge each site in order to initiate efficiency. Our onsite delivery team quickly identified multiple areas of wastage and provided an initial overview savings that could be gained. A programme was designed around the needs of the business and using the full might and resources a robust communications and implementation programme was executed.

• Consolidated processes across the sites which had previously been disjointed, a direct result of each location being serviced and managed differently. This was achieved through strong Account Management overlay, strengthening and enhancing the onsite delivery teams.
• Implemented a Time Management System across all sites.
• Introduced a shift co-ordinator per shift to provide daily resource planning, workforce management and performance tracking and pro active management of core/flex labour
• Introduced a Health and Safety Adecco Action Team to manage spot checks, near misses, provide accident reporting and attend regular meetings with the client Safety Action Teams.
• Managed all Induction and On-Boarding which incorporated Health and Safety, Occupational Health, Site rules, Processes and machinery handling modules.

In 2013, as a part of continuous improvement programme Adecco implemented a KPLH, a formula that would enable the business to measure the level of product packaged per person, per hour, by machine-line, by site, across all UK locations. This formula transformed the way output was achieved and measured in the UK and subsequently is being rolled out in 56 locations across Europe.
