Manufacturing Advisory Service offers consultancy improvement projects to help support business growth. To have an in-depth match funded project you’ll have had a free Manufacturing Review and your Advisor has provided an Action Plan and recommended a project to support your improvement. Your advisor will also confirm the offer in writing. Projects can vary in depth and address a wide range of opportunities and therefore the value can vary but will typically range between £300 and £3000. A standard MAS project will deliver a return of at least 66:1 against your initial investment.

- MAS STRATEGY – Planning your business
