What They Say
"Electrified My Business"
“By sheer chance Sam Meeks swept into my life in 2010. We met, we chatted, we swapped notes.
And then he ELECTRIFIED our leather bag and accessory factory. He improved all aspects of our production methods resulting in improved quality and labor efficiencies
Sam is held in high regard at Rift Africa.
Subsequently we became great friends and I have continued to learn from, and swap notes with Sam. “

"Quick Win Efficiency"
“My team and I are so grateful for the time Sam spent with us in our factory. He really opened our eyes to quick win efficiency improvements we could make. His wealth of knowledge and experience alongside his gentle manner are a winning combination!”

Cellular Production at its Best
Since 2014 we have changed our whole production system from line/batch production to a cellular production workflow with the help of Sam Meeks.
The whole factory looks different now – we gained 30 % space and our people are convinced and happy. The benefits of cellular production are, that we have much less work in progress, as each cells work on a bundle of 50 pieces. Now the garments are passing through production much faster and the first T-Shirt – for example – comes out after 15 minutes(before it took one day).
As the groups are smaller, there is more accountability, more quality, more productivity and more team spirit.

It All Started With A Chat
The start of the changes was a simple conversation about our factories.
Since then Sam has helped on multiple sites and made a difference on each.
