Think creatively – act consistently<\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

We develop strategies and concepts on a solid foundation. To achieve this, we leverage our strength in data analysis using our own Business Intelligence (BI) tools. Our judgement is reinforced by years of practical experience. We drive change through direct collaboration. Our mobile training lab helps deliver the necessary initial impetus. <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

An efficient factory is fun. We help with the strategic implementation to increase your profits. You can recognize an efficient factory by the following features: <\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

01<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clear focus<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Is it clearly defined what the factory’s tasks are? Which technologies are used? Is the position in the supply chain clear? Does the footprint of your production system match the market requirements? <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

02<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughput<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Is your factory fast enough at turning raw materials into saleable products? More specifically: how productive is your working capital? If everything is in order, then the factory is neither a bottleneck in the supply chain nor a collection point for stocks of all kind. <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

03<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plant utilization rate<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Are you utilizing more than 80% of your installed capacity? Or are there downtimes \u2014 or performance losses due to unstable processes? What does your OEE tell you? <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

04<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Personnel efficiency<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows what they need to do \u2014 and they do it. That\u2019s efficiency. Are your organizational structures clear? Does responsibility align with decision-making authority? Are your employees sufficiently qualified? Is it clear what is added value \u2014 and what is waste? <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

Value creation means appreciation by the customer \u2013 and we use this principle to drive your factory to success. Four simple questions need to be answered. <\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

01<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What league do you want to play in?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

With the Manufacturing Strategy Review, we clarify the strategic position of your factories. How deep should your own value creation go? How is the supply chain organized overall? <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

02<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With which system?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We work with you to develop an effective production system. Which control principle leads to optimum throughput? Which organizational principle leads to maximum efficiency? Does segmentation help? Do new technologies help? What about the use of IT? <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

03<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With which team?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Are your employees the team that scores the goals? We ensure they have the necessary fitness\u2014through method training, organizational design, and leading by example. We translate targets into operational goals, train in Lean Management, and drive change. <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

04<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With which coaching staff?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

How much \u201cextra baggage\u201d is really necessary? Who or what supports the team, and what is waste? We ensure efficiency in administration and drive Lean Administration. <\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>
