Our services for increasing productivity in business

In our projects to increase productivity, we first take a close look at the specific working environment of our customers, both in direct and indirect areas. In this way, we build trust and encourage management and employees to embrace change. This creates a clear basis for recognizing and quantifying measurable improvements and successfully implementing them together. Increased productivity must always be reflected in a clear and measurable improvement in results.

We have been building up the necessary expertise for many decades in challenging projects and programs with many different companies. Our range of tools is constantly being expanded with the latest specialist insights, new methods, and pioneering technologies.

This results in unique added value for our clients: experience and success drivers from hundreds of international projects are incorporated when we enable and support companies and their employees to make their business more productive and sustainable. Our consulting services address the following key areas:

Securing project success

Our experience shows that real, i.e. long-term, stable changes in behavior cannot be brought about by actionism, nor can the measurable increases in performance resulting from these changes. Success does not happen by chance – it requires a systemic approach combined with intensive support and supervision. The three main principles of productivity show us the way:

  • "You get what you measure!
  • "Plan your work and work your plan!“
  • "You can only control the whole if somebody also controls the detail!

We ensure sustainable success by implementing these key principles in the form of productivity management systems. In addition, we assume joint responsibility for the realization of improvements with our performance-based fee model.

CASE STUDIES - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

Case Study

The EFESO OPEX model: activate the forces of excellence. You learn from mistakes. It is important that continuous improvement is the result. In industry, this is targeted as "Operational Excellence", or OPEX for short. Instead of resorting to off-the-shelf solutions, companies should develop their own strategies here - like the group from the steel industry, which successfully used the OPEX model from EFESO in its plants.

DIGITALES SHOPFLOOR MANAGEMENT
Case Study

Performance increase on the shop floor. Should every employee receive shift planning via smartphone? Or the plant management can compare solution proposals on a virtual dashboard in real time in the event of disruptions in the production flow? Thanks to the available IoT technologies, these and many other work simplifications of a digital shop floor management can be easily implemented today. Automobile manufacturers in particular like to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitization and already have various systems in use, at all stages of maturity.

VALUE AND COST ENGINEERING
Case Study

Cost transformation from premium to volume provider. Mass manufacturers who expand their Product portfolio into higher price segments are not uncommon. A premium manufacturer of refrigeration appliances, on the other hand, takes the opposite approach. What seems banal from a technological point of view is an enormous challenge from a cost perspective. EFESO accompanied the company in this demanding transformation project.

Case Study

The global demand for thermosets is increasing, as is the case in the energy industry. A manufacturer of thermosetting resins has positioned itself as a leader in the chemical industry by providing these customers with a variety of innovative technologies, solutions and specialty products. In order to be able to react even more efficiently to market changes and customer requirements in the future, the company is realigning its production network.

Case Study

A fast-growing manufacturer of medical consumables can no longer meet the rapidly increasing demand and is threatened with the loss of market share. The company needs a solution to significantly increase output in a short time.

Case Study

With hard targets for the entire operations area, a valve manufacturer is aligning a plant location for the future - and thus securing the site in Germany. Together with EFESO, the company restructures its manufacturing and logistics and achieves, among other things, an OEE of more than 85%.

Case Study

The EFESO case study describes how a confectionery manufacturer is expanding its competitive position with a comprehensive digitalization initiative. With EFESO, it is expanding the successes already achieved by its WCOM (*World Class Operations Management) program in the direction of highly digitalized production.
