If you are involved in any aspect of manufacturing we can save you money and increase productivity
Our official Mission Statement is simple -
'Do What's Right, Do it Right, Do it Right Now.'
Our unofficial Mission Statement is even simpler in its message -
'No fancy watches, no expensive suits, no jargon - just getting the job done.'

The Ferryport Group are a team of lean manufacturing consultants, lean management consultants, training consultants and business improvement experts with a specialism in increasing productivity, cutting costs, improving quality and, you'll have guessed, Lean Systems. Although based in the Yorkshire and Humber region, we have a national client base.
For us it’s about getting the job done – no fancy suits or jargon, just results
We believe in not just analysing the Management and Manufacturing operations and giving you a consultants report on these, but putting the training, modern manufacturing techniques and systems in place to sustain Kaizen Lean Manufacturing improvements.
Why Should You Consider Using Us?
You probably use an accountant to do your accounts, a lawyer to write and review your contracts and HR specialists to tackle personnel issues, so why not use a Lean Productivity Engineer to improve your productivity?
What is the 95-95 rule?
"95% of companies stated in a survey that they did not need external consultants to help them improve. Free consultations were carried out with 58 companies who make this statement, and afterwards 95% of them stated that they were extremely glad that they had used outside consultants."
Our projects have resulted in increased uptime, improvement in efficiencies and availability of plant with reduced reactive maintenance issues, eliminated the need for some companies to purchase expensive capital equipment and reduced the overall workforces in a number of cases.
Results are gained through analysis of Overall Equipment Effectiveness, OEE, and then by using 5S, Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), Total Productive Maintenance, Poka Yoke systems, Kanban, Cause and Effect Diagrams, Route Cause Analysis and so on, all proven techniques. The basis for all of these is the Toyota Production System (TPS) and the philosophy goes by any number of names - Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvements, Business Improvement Techniques, World Class Manufacturing amongst others. Go to the Lean page for further information on these.
Wherever possible we tie in our Manufacturing and Management Consultancy and training work with your existing systems and procedures to ensure a smoother integration of change and a continuity of understanding. This means that any training or systems materials are bespoke to your own corporation.

Our Senior Team
Wayne Scott Ross is a Mechanical Engineer with 30 years industrial experience in areas as diverse as petrol pump design and chocolate gateau manufacturing through to blending explosives for RAF ejector seats.
