Turnaround Strategies & Implementation :

Project:
|
Engineering Company
20 Staff
- The
company was losing $120,000 per annum and needed to return to
profitability.
- DJM
planned and assisted with the implementation of cost reduction, debtor
control and direct marketing strategies for the client. DJM also
monitored the performance of the company in the absence of its
directors.
|
|
Outcome:
|
- As
a result of DJM’s involvement, the company was returned to a
profitable position within 12 months.

Project:

Commercial Printer
35 Staff
- The
company was installing a new, state-of-the-art printing press. DJM
developed a marketing plan to ensure the new press would be operating
at full capacity as soon as possible. This plan was implemented first
at DJM’s premises and after six months transferred to the client’s
premises. DJM chaired weekly Sales Team Meetings to keep the marketing
plan on track for a further six months.
|
|
Outcome:
|
- The
outcome of DJM’s efforts for the company was a 20% increase in
sales, a 5% increase in Gross Profit margin and a healthier bottom
line.

Software Development

Project:
|
Clothing Manufacturer
& Screenprinter
~40 Staff
- To
develop a software system that would replace the masses of paper used
for cataloging designs and screens, order forms, stock of shirts &
shorts, raw materials, customer orders, production ships, delivery notes,
invoices, etc.
|
|
Outcome:
|
- The
resulting software developed (in Visual Basic) dramatically improved
staff efficiency. Less time was spent searching for records and making
mundane manual calculations. It ensured fewer mistakes were made with
manual recording and transferring methods and it freed up considerable
time for staff to do other important (backlogged) tasks. It also
allowed the two sales reps to improve their performance considerably
by having historical customer records at their fingertips on laptop
computer as they travelled Australia.
