Performance Behaviour

Companies achieve outstanding performance when employees make optimal use of their skills. This is particularly true for teams that contribute directly to value creation, such as in production or supply chain management. In order for employees to realize their potential and make their full contribution to joint success, EFESO uses the Performance Behavior approach, which starts with individual motivation, reflects observable behavior and enables systematic learning from consequences. To increase performance behavior in a targeted manner, we focus on the situations in which decisions and activities have the greatest impact on performance.

 

The five components of performance behavior

More performance through focus on behaviors

Performance Behavior is an approach that translates the organization's values and goals into concrete, understandable, and often measurable behaviors. This link activates and reinforces the desired positive behavior. Individual potentials are fully exploited, commitment and sense of responsibility increase. On the store floor, for example, you can optimize leadership behavior and sustainably increase performance in production and production-related areas.

 

In this way, the implementation of Performance Behavior pays off in the following ways:

  • Stabilization and increase in performance
  • Increased commitment and sense of responsibility
  • Strong performance orientation in daily behavior
  • Efficient, effective leadership under high pressure
  • Feedback culture and continuous improvement
  • Employee development and retention

 

Implement Performance Behavior, increase performance

The process typically includes the following phases:

  1. Linking activities to the desired outcome
  2. Further development of extrinsic influencing factors such as goal setting, role requirements, etc.
  3. Design and promotion of key moments and routines
  4. Active support of behavior development
  5. Reinforcement through guidance and a sense of achievement

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

INSIGHT:

Driving profitability through change:
With its Commercial Change Management Process (CCMP), EFESO helps Tier-1 suppliers in the automotive industry align pricing, cost, and customer demands – for measurable results in a dynamic transformation environment.
