In essence, lean production means separating value-adding activities from non-value-adding activities. In other words, anything that absorbs money and resources without generating added value from the customer's point of view is waste.

We can help you:

• Recognize and instantly eliminate visible waste
• Identify and minimize hidden waste
• Reduce inventory
• Minimize throughput times
• Increase your proportion of value-added

We use the value stream analysis, followed by optimization of the value stream in a so-called 'value stream design' process, as a tried-and-tested means of identifying and classifying value-added within your business. We survey, analyze and optimize not only material flows but also all information flows throughout the entire value-added chain, from the supplier via production to the customer. Our aim is to create a continuous, customer-oriented, uniform, and efficient value stream that is continuously improved, encompassing the concepts of flow, pull, supply chain and zero waste.

Some of the factors that set us apart in value stream analysis and design are:

• Strong methodological expertise through regular training and years of hands-on experience
• Consideration of the entire supply chain
• Simple and rapid documentation using our own value stream tool
• Support for process analysis and improvement using planned time surveys (MTM)
• Comprehensive benchmarking knowledge acquired through practical experience in the automotive, aviation and energy industries.
