Summary
"Actually, we should do it right away...", is often the first thought, but then it either gets complicated fast or the needed resources are missing. I want to help you turn your insights into measurable goals first and then confidently achieve them with clearly prioritized actions. Because with a clear goal in sight, anything is possible - step by step.
Often all it takes is someone who leads the way and brings others along. I want to first understand exactly what you do and why you do it. Together with your team, we will then work out which activities are absolutely necessary and which are not. You should avoid anything that does not add value. The same applies to the specification of products and components. Here I support you in delivering the same customer benefit at lower production costs. Since such a project can quickly become confusing, I am happy to take over the management and tracking of the identified measures. Your employees are the most important resource and are fully involved from the start. If needed, I will also support your team with method and technical training so that you can maintain the achieved standard in the long term.
