PICME launch, 2001 - the starting point of a productivity journey that continues today
“Centre aims to push up process productivity.”
That was the headline back in 2001.
In 2001, PICME was launched — pictured here at the original launch with then-CEO Mark Lewis and Alan Johnson, Trade Minister at the time.
Twenty-five years later, Haden Freeman C.I. continues that legacy.
Our focus remains the same today as it was then — improving productivity across the process industries.
A recent diagnostic data analysis revealed a £1 million bottom-line opportunity, identified during a single client workshop, with a clear route to realising the savings.
What’s particularly striking is that supply chains were already a hot topic in 2001 — and yet they remain one of the most under-optimised areas we encounter today. Whenever we examine supply chain integration, significant opportunities emerge – an approach we call Operational Design.
