Hello, I'm Richard McGaw Consultancy.
Since founding Richard McGaw Consultancy in 2022 after a 16 year career with Caterpillar, the focus has been on operational excellence and lean continuous improvement, transforming businesses across various industries. The consultancy thrives by providing tailored strategies and hands-on coaching, ensuring clients achieve their goals through meticulous operational and supply chain management. With a special emphasis on cultural change management and mentorship, my contributions have been pivotal in driving effective business transformations. The recent engagement with a leading provider of customized manufactured components showcased our ability to nurture a continuous improvement relationship between a customer and its multiple suppliers, through rigorous gap analysis and process improvements. Leveraging my engineering background and expertise in lean methodologies, I've successfully mentored senior leaders and streamlined operations, further cementing the consultancy's reputation for excellence in facilitating growth and enhancing performance within complex operational and supply chain settings. Sometimes getting started with any new idea, implementation or project can be difficult. Terms like lean and operational excellence and all that comes with them can feel daunting. But I can guarantee you that you know and have implemented more than you realise. I aim to make everything relevant and user friendly for your team.
