Operational Excellence: Improving critical factors in production
Operational Excellence is a strategy for the sustainable optimization of a company’s effectiveness and efficiency. As part of a holistic approach, this involves targeted improvement of critical factors, which in practice usually means further qualification of employees. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular, whose processes are heavily influenced by day-to-day business, often find it difficult to mobilize the necessary resources on their own initiative.
Based on his extensive experience, the GOiNTERIM Manager will first create a roadmap for optimizing the company’s core processes and continuously review and adjust it in dialog with employees. In many cases, the existing problems in the area of the organization and/or the manufacturing facilities are already known, but there is a lack of the necessary methodological knowledge and/or communication to be able to successfully eliminate the weak points.
The following topics are covered by us and our managers:
- Production optimization
- Lean Manufacturing
- Operational Excellence
- Plant and production relocation
- Startup management
With his operational distance, the interim manager can independently classify the suggestions and proposals for improvement from the workforce and derive the necessary measures from them. The consistent involvement of employees in analysis and implementation creates a relationship of trust that ensures the cooperation and motivation of staff and contributes to the sustainable consolidation of the desired results.
