CASE STUDIES & INSIGHTS - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
Quality improvement in the automotive industry
CASE STUDY:
A leading global automobile manufacturer wanted to mobilize and accelerate its entire network of nine factories in terms of costs and quality. With EFESO, the group established a completely new, soccer-inspired practice of competing for a championship lead. The project team thus dynamized rigid factory structures and work routines.
Transformation through the development of smart products
CASE STUDY:
Transformation through smart product development. A job for the "I-Team": A strong development team at a manufacturer of household appliances recorded solid success. But now customers want to network kitchen appliances, refrigerators and mixers in the “smart home”. EFESO established an "I-Team" with the fresh perspective of "digital natives" and accompanied the internal change with great success.
Lean Digital Manager
CASE STUDY:
Shaping the factory of the future with Lean 4.0. How can lean principles be combined with the technologies and possibilities of networked digitization in value creation networks? By further qualifying employees to become decision-makers. The EFESO certification program for "Lean Digital Manager" shows how digitalization of lean production works. To do this, it combines strategies with Industry 4.0 technologies.
Target image for the transformation to Smart Factory
CASE STUDY:
End-to-end supply chain digitalisation in the healthcare sector. Putting together and ordering the desired product according to your own needs at the click of a mouse in the online configurator: these customer requirements must not only be met by companies in the consumer goods industry. This interaction is also highly relevant for manufacturers of medical, customisable products. However, whether assistants, support stockings or other products expand the B2C business in this way depends on the digital maturity of the logistics and production processes.
Sustainability update for the global production network
CASE STUDY:
In order to achieve the sustainability targets it has set itself, an automotive supplier must optimize its more than 70 existing plants worldwide in terms of emissions and resource consumption. Together with the customer, EESO develops an overarching target picture to evaluate the maturity level and derive a sustainability roadmap for all sites.
Chemical company on the way to climate neutrality
CASE STUDY:
In order to achieve the self-imposed goal of being climate-neutral by 2050, a manufacturer of basic chemicals has to put its entire business model to the test. EFESO supported the client with robust scenario planning to develop a sustainability roadmap that enables sustainable growth in a challenging industry environment.
Digital transformation in the food industry
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.
Transformation without limits
CASE STUDY:
Unlimited transformation: How a unified manufacturing system connects 50+ plants
Staying competitive despite global disruptions, labor shortages, and rising cost pressure? For an international automotive supplier, the answer was clear: only a bold new start could deliver the clarity, speed, and impact needed. Together with EFESO, the company developed a globally standardized manufacturing system—and unlocked the OPEX potential of over 20,000 employees in record time.
One Operations Community: strong performance on every playground
CASE STUDY:
A chemical group realigns its global production organization following a joint venture. The aim: to increase performance and efficiency worldwide. EFESO creates a “One Operations Community” in twelve plants - and over 230 improvement projects already generate savings of over EUR 120 million in the implementation phase.
