Operational Excellence · Lean transformation
On-time delivery, lead time and productivity
Order processing, supply chain, production and development need a strong value stream orientation. We make waste visible and design processes that flow. Our goal: shorter lead times, on-time delivery and cost efficiency with high quality.
Value stream analysis & Lean master plan
We analyse your core value streams, identify the biggest problem areas, determine savings potential and develop the Lean master plan for the “future state”.
Lean manufacturing
Clear customer focus and less waste along the value stream: higher productivity, shorter lead times, lower inventories and more motivation.
Lean administration
Lean in the office and in development: voice of the customer, process analysis with Makigami & swimlane, SIPOC, 5S in the office, the EMIPS method for process optimisation and shop floor management for indirect areas.
Lean order fulfilment
Disruption-free order processing, orders in flow: linking, order classes, FIFO, order synchronisation, takt and slot planning, sales & operations planning (S&OP), operational order control and multi-project management
Internal Lean team
Building and training the internal Lean team, transferring expert knowledge into your organisation, developing the Lean team and integrating it into your organisation
From practice
How a mid-sized company redesigned order processing and production as one value stream.
Collaborative Excellence · digital shop floor management
Transparency and collaboration across sites
Global supply chains and project networks need a transparent way of working together. We introduce an effective collaboration logic and method, define the communication cascade and develop the teams until the strategy takes effect through planning and implementation in day-to-day business. Our goal: transparency and efficiency in a collaboration culture based on trust.
Shop floor management – analogue & digital
Setting up analogue & digital team boards, short regular communication and a consistent cascade – operational steering where the work happens. Digitally with ValueStreamer, Tervene or a system of your choice.
Collaboration Performance Management
Our unique method for transparent, connected collaboration: project and line cascade based on the Performance “U”, planning at 80% capacity, clear priorities, transparency, new governance – more effectiveness and efficiency in collaboration.
Leadership, collaboration & teamwork
Developing teams through team development and team workshops. Training and coaching managers through project-integrated leadership development and coaching training.
Project Excellence · agile transformation
Faster projects and product development
The product development process is becoming ever more complex and cycles shorter. We combine reliable planning with agile steering – tailored to your organisation. Our goal: shorter lead times in development projects.
Lean development
Faster product development from concept to market-ready product, transparency in the process, flow instead of queues, removing bottlenecks, fast learning, testing variants early, steering at a glance with visual project management, variant management and standardisation in product design.
Hybrid project management
We combine maturity-based project planning with phases and quality gates with short-cycle, agile steering via digital shop floor management. Rolling planning and steering according to the rule of 10, based on cross-functional collaboration.
Agile & value stream organisation
Self-management, radical alignment with the value stream, roles instead of functions and close interaction with the customer – we introduce your agile organisation.
Transformation & culture
Change that works in everyday business
Transformations need a vision, a clear strategy and structured change management. Cultural change is part of every transformation. Lean and Agile require a new mindset from leaders and teams. We make sure this shift in mindset succeeds – for us, leadership development is part of the cultural change, not a seminar on the side. Our goal: to design and guide your complex transformation successfully.
Culture analysis & change strategy
Structured interviews, preparation of an analysis report, development of an implementation strategy in a workshop with the leadership team, definition of a transformation project with sub-projects and overall steering over 24 months.
Future Compass
Two days of assessment for your leadership team: target vision, processes, leadership and culture, business model and energy – with a concrete roadmap.
Organisational development
Planning, designing and guiding change based on systemic organisational consulting – whether hierarchical, value stream or agile organisation.
Strategy & creativity workshops
Transformation strategy and business model development with design thinking, business model canvas and Lean start-up.
Strategy execution with Hoshin Kanri & OKR
Vision, strategic pillars and goals – and their implementation with a North Star, X-matrix, A3 and KPI dashboards, or with agility through self-set goals with OKR.
Transformation office
A PMO reporting directly to management: planning and steering complex transformation projects – competently led and consistently implemented.
Team & large-group workshops
Team development, interface workshops and open space formats that mobilise entire departments.
