Quality

Quality is produced in robust processes – everything else becomes costly and damages reputation

You wouldn’t believe how often quality and production are seen as “natural enemies” in organizations.

It’s not about uncovering each other’s faults so that you look better internally or even externally. It is not expedient to set up as many checkpoints and 100% controls as possible in order to serve customers with the required quality. This costs a lot of money, reduces employee motivation and damages your reputation with the customer. If the end customer is then affected, it becomes really expensive.

It’s about working together as a team to move the company forward. This requires a genuine understanding of quality in order to produce the required quality. This requires stable processes with efficient control loops. Managers and employees must have the time to focus on the essentials and not chase after shortcomings.

We help you to really anchor your quality system effectively.

Selected projects

Project Management
Business Case
IE-Lean Training

Based on a quick check in project management, collaboration between product development (Product Center), local project management and manufacturing engineering was optimized. This led to shorter lead times, clear responsibilities, more efficient reporting and reduced start-up and capex costs. Quick-win solutions were implemented and prioritized measures were implemented step by step.

A business case for the partial plant expansion with relocations, new investments in production facilities and an optimized logistics concept was successfully created. This involved defining relevant premises, validating existing analyses and developing various scenarios with detailed cost and savings analyses. The decision paper provides a sound basis for the economic evaluation of the plant expansion and the associated potential for cost reduction.

A lean training course for technical planners (industrial engineering) was successfully developed and implemented. The training is based on company-specific requirements and an established standard process for planning approval (e.g. lean certificate). This strengthened the understanding of lean principles, improved planning quality and increased efficiency in the approval process.
