Applying the lean principle in production
Our approach to improving production efficiency and productivity is based on Lean, a cornerstone of many industries. At the heart of the Lean principle is delivering value to the customer by minimising wasteful operations. Our goal is to eliminate all parts of the production process that do not add value to the product in the eyes of the customer. As a result, production lead times are reduced and cost efficiency increases.
In our lean philosophy, we focus on continuous improvement and streamlining processes. Continuous process analysis and improvement requires the commitment of our entire organisation. When processes are as streamlined as possible, we are able to speed up production lead times, reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction through faster delivery times.
Minimising waste in the production process
Minimising waste is at the heart of the Lean philosophy. Waste can manifest itself as overproduction, waiting, unnecessary movements or errors. Identifying and eliminating these waste generators allows us to improve our efficiency. This not only speeds up production lead times, but also saves resources and reduces waste.
Our experts are experienced in identifying and solving bottlenecks in production processes. Our technical expertise and agile working methods enable us to minimise waste and streamline processes, resulting in faster lead times and improved market competitiveness. Our customers benefit from these improvements by getting better quality products faster and more cost-effectively.
Continuous improvement and employee involvement
According to the Lean philosophy, continuous improvement is a never-ending process that requires the active involvement of everyone in our organisation. Involving our employees in improvement processes increases their motivation and taps into their valuable knowledge and experience.
Our open culture and agile working methods encourage our employees to come up with new ideas and solutions. This collaboration and communication between all levels enables us to react quickly to change and implement improvements effectively. Our customers benefit from this approach, as it ensures high quality solutions that are technically and economically right-sized.
Using the value stream map
The value stream map is a tool that helps to understand and visualise all stages of the production process. It allows us to identify the steps in the process that create value for the customer, as well as those that create waste. The creation and analysis of a value stream map is a key part of Lean and helps to target improvement actions to the right areas.
Our engineering services and technical consultancy provide our clients with value stream mapping and analysis as part of production development projects. This enables our customers to achieve significant improvements in production lead times, leading to improved customer satisfaction and more efficient use of resources.
Application of Lean tools and techniques
The lean philosophy offers a wide range of tools and techniques to help improve operations. Examples include the 5S system, Kanban, Poka-Yoke and Kaizen, all designed to help organisations identify and eliminate waste, improve quality and speed up production lead times.
Our experts are trained to use these Lean tools and techniques for the benefit of our customers. Our in-depth understanding and experience helps to apply the right methods to each situation, resulting in more efficient and faster production processes. Our customers can rely on our ability to successfully implement even the most demanding production development projects.
Customer focus and tailored solutions
At the heart of the Lean philosophy is understanding your customers’ needs and delivering value to them. Every improvement in the production process is designed with the customer in mind, ensuring the best possible outcome. Tailored solutions are key to meeting the individual needs and expectations of the customer.
Our approach is based on listening to the client and understanding the root of the problem. This enables us to develop tailored and targeted solutions that speed up production lead times and improve productivity in the long term. Our customers value this approach because it ensures that they get exactly the service and product they need.
