Operational Excellence

Initial Situation

After a diligent analysis of the current situation, our consultant successfully identified various problems and factors in need of optimization.

  • General deficits regarding the coordination of production networks. The company acts on a global scale and faces considerable managerial complexity.
  • An unstable work environment resulted in a tense atmosphere and increased competition among colleagues. The immediate consequence was an outflow of highly trained employees.
  • A lack of strategic vision, as well as a lack of focus in organizational and process management, had adverse effects on performance. Consequential effects were decreased motivation and customer satisfaction.
