Challenges
Companies face many different challenges in production. Together with you, we identify and analyze possible issues to identify the extent at which they impact the success of your company.
These can be related to constantly changing market demands, such as increasing variant complexity and decreasing batch sizes, or internal issues with products, process quality, excessive lead times, high inventory levels and process bottlenecks.
Bottleneck resources, in particular, often have low overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and drive-up production costs through fluctuating utilization, downtime and rework.
Your added value
Our production optimization projects not only improve individual key metrics, but also increase the overall performance of your factory. Creating transparency for production employees and management is a key ingredient for success.
We support you in reducing waste and achieving maximum product and process quality. Efficient order processing reduces lead times and enables the design of a cost-optimized manufacturing process.
Last but not least, your employees' ability for continuous improvement and structured problem solving is sustainably increased.
