LineView Solutions Managing Director and co-founder Ian Rowledge started his journey as a production manager at Coca-Cola Enterprises. At the time, he was grappling with how difficult it was to identify key issues with no real data: that it was impossible to know the true causal losses in a system without great data. After putting in long hours one weekend in an attempt to find true causal loss and finding that they were back to square one on Monday, Ian decided that enough was enough.

How it started
A co-founder of LineView Solutions, Ian’s ten plus years in operation management with Coca-Cola led him to search for better solutions, resulting in the start-up of OptimumFX in 2001, an operational improvement consultancy business within what is now known as the i3Group. He devised its trademark IFA.
