 Increased profitability through efficient processes and information flows 

 
Changes in the organization, increasing product variety as well as the further development of machines and information processing induce a growing challenge in terms of business processes. In order to strengthen competitiveness, organization and IT must keep pace with these alternating conditions.

We design processes and information flows tailored to your company´s requirements
We put existing systems to test and disclose untapped potential. The first step is an analysis of the initial situation and of the company-specific requirements and its constraints. Based on the information obtained, we will elaborate together with you conceptual aims and solutions, define projects and action plans and will support you in their consistent implementation.

The Lean Philosophy minimizes wastage - in terms of time, work-in-process and rejects -  in all areas along the value creation chain. Our "tool kit" includes the lean principles for waste minimization and contains all modern instruments - ideally adapted to the requirements of the woodworking and furniture industry:

  •  workshops for minimizing setup times,
  • 3S/5S
  • TPM
  • machine monitoring & reporting,
  • Poka Yoke
  • value stream mapping
  • KPI-based systems
  • activity sampling
  • performance ratings
  • qualification matrices
  • CIP
  • and many more.

Information for workstations and machines
When designing information flows, we take care that the right information will be procided correctly and efficiently in due time and in the right form to workstations as well as to machines and lines.

Crucial factor: motivation of employees
A crucial factor for the successful implementation of the projects is however the motivation of your employees. We achieve this by an early involvement of the employees concerned and through specific and targeted training.

Pfeil How we design and optimize your processes and information flows 

Process modeling

We align your sub or overall process to your business strategy and market requirements. For the development of the "ideal" process it is vitally important to eliminate internal barriers, interfaces, redundancies and non-value adding operations. We automate routine tasks, assign responsibilities and determine the required information. You benefit from increased process speed, shorter lead times as well as from reduced personnel and administrative costs.

Consulting in the software environment

Decisions for new IT systems and software are strategic decisions with long-term implications. By using a future-proof, efficient solution, you will enhance your data quality, manage an increased product variety and reduce your personnel costs. Besides the selection of the right solution, the system partner is equally of vital importance. We offer you our advice and devise your organitazional and IT concept as well as the requirements specification. You can also rely on our experience in the tender phase, the supplier selection and during the introduction.

Increased perfomance in the machine-oriented environment

The optimum use of machines and lines is one of the key success factors in manufacturing. We show you how to avoid delays and rejects as well as how you enhance performance and utilization of material. To do this, we use organizational tools such as task analysis, Pareto analysis, benchmarking, visualization and preventive maintenance. We use special software tools for maintenance, for troubleshooting and for the display of processes. Important for you: The impact of our actions is measurable.
