Significant Output Increase
within 10 to 25 weeks
Overwhelming backlogs and the light in the tunnel might be a candle? Our experience is you can always get more out of your production even without additional people and equipment. Together with your leadership team, we usually start to understand which levers are there with a short potential analysis. Once it’s clear what needs to be done, we move ahead with our Shopfloor Transformation. This is a proven approach which we tailor to your needs. Often supporting functions like logistics, design or order management have a significant impact. This is why we include also these by our approach for Lean Process Transparency. Result is of course more Output. We estimate beforehand how much more to get out after which efforts. And your people will take over many of the implemented methods.
Shorten Lead Times
Reduce order to delivery time from 10 months to 6 weeks.
Time from order to shipment is just too long? You feel it as clients are unhappy. And you often have exactly on stock, what you don’t need. The longer the Lead Time, the more you need clairvoyance, so to be able to order what’s needed. Mistakes lead to scrap. And long Lead Times always result in too much WIP and a lot of bound Cash. To understand, where to win most with lowest effort, we start with our Potential analysis. A typical next step means understanding which processes are crucial to improve. For example from Forecast to Purchasing. Or preparation of orders. Usually, here we start with our Lean Process Transparency. Result is a measurably reduced Lead Time, which becomes noticeable after a few weeks. The big mid-term benefit: The improved transparency leads to a new style in working.
