 In
a competitive, global industry, people are the
single resource that can make the biggest difference
to the performance of a company. It is possible
to have old machinery and still make good products,
if the company’s people are working to the
optimum. However, if you have the most modern
plant in the world and if the people are not fully
capable, the products will not be up to the standard.
In any highly labour-intensive industry where
there are many facets to the process and its application,
people can be the weakest link. With 3 decades
of tannery experience, ALC Ltd has a number of
ways to help a company develop its people:
Mentoring
and Coaching
This is very useful when a new member of staff
is appointed to a senior role from outside the
industry. Close contact with the ALC Ltd
consultant helps to explain the process, clarify
the methods, set the standards and avoid some
of the mistakes that can accompany "fresh-blood"
and "the learning curve". Experience
cannot perhaps be taught, but good practice can
be learnt.
Training
Either individually or in groups, training can
cover any aspect of the process and be tailored
to the needs of the individual company.
In exceptional circumstances, companies can find
themselves with a serious short-term need, perhaps
following the departure of a key individual to
pastures-new. ALC Ltd can provide
a consultant to give emergency cover to a company
throughout the manufacturing process. This style
of contract requires a block-booking of time.
 Connections
It is probably true to say that one can never
have enough contacts.
With 30 years in the trade and access to all sectors
of the industry, ALC is well placed to help find
business partners and make introductions.
Short
of sales outlets
Have access to a raw material, but no knowledge
of the potential for leather made from it?
Looking for an opportunity to convert stock into
something more saleable?
Perhaps ALC can help provide connections that
you would not find.
Alliance
for Leather
www.allianceforleather.net
This is a group of like-minded companies in the
sector with complementary and overlapping skills.
Between ALC and it's Alliance partners, the vast
majority of issues can be resolved. Because we each
cover different areas of specialisation, there is
strength in our association with each other. Our
experience is wide and delivery of projects overseas
is a key ability. All seasoned professionals, each
company runs on an autonomous basis, but can be
called upon as a matter of first choice, by other
Alliance members to provide an extension to skills,
increasing the scope and value of each company's
services to the customer. This way, overheads are
kept at a reasonable level, giving a direct benefit
to the customer in terms of project costs.
The commitment to delivery of quality services
is an ethos that runs throughout the alliance.
