Description: Optimization of production areas is our core competence. However, production is always to be seen as part of a entrepreneurial organism which must be connected via many interfaces with other essential areas in the company, such as development, purchasing, controlling and human resources. Achieving an optimum in production therefore also requires a comparison of objectives and processes with adjacent areas.
This project example describes a project assignment in which we were allowed to reach far into the adjacent areas, right across the interfaces from and to production responsibility, in order to identify optimization potential for the entire company processes.
After we had been able to support a manufacturing company over a period of several years in the process of updating the production areas with the latest plant technology, an innovative planning system as well as in the reorganization of organizational responsibilities, the performance limits in production were obvious to us and we successively identified the potentials together with the company and transferred them into suitable measures. Starting from the core process of value creation in production, we were able to realize significant improvements in the company’s results by adapting procedures and rules right through to sales.
