- Structured analysis and optimization of the existing factory design.
- Objectives: Achieving short-, medium-, and long-term cost reductions end-to-end; establishing a holistic, globally competitive production system; implementing a manufacturing and assembly strategy aligned with target costs.
Product Manufacturing Excellence
Product Manufacturing Excellence means systematically unlocking potential for cost reduction and performance improvement in production. The goal is to develop a future production setup that ensures full transparency of manufacturing costs, a high maturity level of production capacities, and a globally competitive layout. Additionally, such a production system is characterized by high cost efficiency.
To effectively support companies in achieving Product Manufacturing Excellence, EFESO focuses on three key areas:
Manufacturing cost optimization
Launch & Ramp-up management
- Preventive analysis of bottlenecks and immediate improvement of availability.
- Reliable ramp-up of production volumes, support for maintenance processes.
- Implementation of measures to quickly increase maturity levels.
Task force management
- Rapid, reactive stabilization of critical processes and production capacities.
- Optimization of OEE indicators and industrialization processes to achieve the planned ramp-up curve.
