Comprehensive cost reduction in your direct and indirect production departments (Kopie 1)

Increasing efficiency as a strategic competitive advantage to optimise your costs of production

The current economic situation will characterise many companies over the coming years. After ensuring an adequate supply of capital for the company, high productivity and flexibility are key competitive factors. Frequently the answer to the following questions gives clear information on unexploited potential:

• Has your company put the issue of consistent increases in efficiency behind increasing revenue in recent boom years?
• Has your company's revenue fallen and is your management accountant expecting a massive increase in production costs?
• Do you have the feeling that some departments in your company still have significant inefficiencies and frictional losses?

Fast, comprehensive and sustainable goal achievement with the Wassermann efficiency increase programme

With the Wassermann efficiency increase programme we offer your company the opportunity to achieve quick, comprehensive and sustainable cost reduction potential in the direct and indirect departments of your production chain:

• Shorten throughput time by 3-70%

• Reduce stocks by 30-50%

The process, which is sub-divided into several steps, can be individually adapted to your needs.

Precise identification of your productivity losses using check-list based benchmarking with the Wassermann productivity audit

In which areas of your production chain are there efficiency losses and how have the best practice companies mastered these challenges? The Wassermann productivity audit developed by our experienced practitioners enables you to identify your weaknesses quickly and easily and shows you where you stand compared with best-practice companies. The check-list based approach involves your company employees with the aid of interview sequences.
Sustainability starts in the first analysis sequence so the focus areas for action are produced jointly in dialogue with your employees.

Combination of immediate measures and ensuring sustainable, ongoing improvement by setting up structures that increase value

The medium-term implementation of short-term potential with the aid of lean methods ensures that you reach the objective quickly. Medium-term cost reduction potential can be secured in your company by setting up structures that increase value:

• Lean training for managers and workers
• Setting up kaizen teams
• Introducing and tuning production systems
• Introducing visual target systems
• Quantity management
• Policy deployment

Our consulting approach goes beyond standard lean tools. The introduction of the classical Toyota production system is only possible in many companies with modifications and is therefore less than ideal. Together with your project team we select those methods that provide the ideal added value for your industry and company and introduce these to your company in a stable and sustainable way.
The many years of industrial experience that our consultants have guarantee a stable introduction process.
