# DAK Consulting
DAK Consulting, based in Henley-on-Thames, specialises in transforming manufacturing and process operations through systematic improvement and operational excellence. They work with industrial organisations to embed Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) programmes, establish centres of excellence, and optimise plant and equipment performance.
The consultancy serves mid to large-scale manufacturers across sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and industrial goods. Their client portfolio includes recognised names such as Abbott, Britvic, Heineken, Kellogg's, and Forbo, demonstrating their experience across diverse manufacturing environments.
What distinguishes DAK Consulting is their pragmatic, hands-on approach rather than theoretical consulting. They don't impose solutions from above; instead, they work alongside client teams through scoping studies, practical workshops, and embedded coaching to develop internal capabilities for sustained improvement. Their methodology focuses on engaging all organisational levels—from shop floor teams to senior leaders—in proactive problem-solving and daily management practices.
Their programmes specifically target elimination of unplanned downtime, reduction of defects, optimisation of asset life cycle costs, and ensuring capital projects deliver flawless operations from day one. By combining TPM tools, Lean Maintenance techniques, and effective project management frameworks, they help clients achieve year-on-year performance gains that become institutionalised rather than dependent on external support.
