Design and implementation of efficient processes

Efficient processes for your profit and your staff

Have the ideas for process adjustments already been implemented? Or have the changes stalled and not yet taken effect in day-to-day operations?

I can support you in designing and implementing new or revised processes with a view to using your resources in a way that minimises waste.

Efficient processes must always be viewed ‘relatively’ here; in other words, efficiency always requires a point of reference within the organisation. Efficiency as an absolute criterion, without the involvement of all those involved in the process, leads to a one-sided approach. This reference is established by your organisational objectives and your corporate culture, meaning that process efficiency must always bear the unique stamp of the organisation in question!

By focusing on your value stream, efficient processes have a direct impact on business results, strengthen resilience against process disruptions and lay the foundations for your workforce to find meaning in their work, thereby also leading to greater staff retention.

The key levers for waste-free operations are usually hidden between the individual process steps. In day-to-day business operations, the most important factor here is people – in other words, your staff. For this reason, when supporting implementation, I focus on everyone involved in the process.

For it is only by taking a holistic view of people and processes that efficiency can be increased and securely maintained for the future!

Key criteria for your relative process efficiency

For your business processes in production and administration to run efficiently, it is necessary to look at certain criteria and overcome the challenges associated with them. These key criteria are my starting points for analysis, process design and implementation of measures.

"A process is much more than the sum of its steps. That is why I view it as an overall system within the respective company context. For me, bringing people and processes into harmony means including everyone involved in the analysis and the change and accompanying them on the way to process efficiency."
Bernd Kühme (Initiator Lean komplett)

01 Process flow

01 Process flow
Lead and process times are largely responsible for the speed at which products or services are manufactured.

Experienced experts in process analysis therefore scrutinise not only each individual process step, but above all the interaction of the individual process parts. One cog must mesh seamlessly with the other, and only in this way does it contribute to reducing the lead times of your orders.

Here, the employees are the knowledge carriers in their process landscape.
02 Corporate goals

Intervening in the process logic of a company means initiating changes. In doing so, it is important not to lose sight of the company's goals and to always view process changes from a holistic perspective. Here, outside experts who have been accompanying companies for many years have exactly the right tools to support you efficiently.

Relative process efficiency is what is needed here.
03 Quality

03 Quality
Whether it is a product or a service - for many companies, the quality of their performance must be the top priority. Inefficient processes, however, run counter to this claim, they involve waste of resources and workarounds by employees. Efficient processes, on the other hand, take your quality goals into account to the highest degree, because this way causes and effects are close together and quality deficiencies are not only recognised in later process steps.
04 Productivity

04 Productivity
The low-waste use of resources determines your productivity and requires an efficient process landscape. Hard and soft factors of productivity must be considered and harmonised in a way that suits you. Only then will efficient processes also help to increase productivity.
05 Flexibility

05 Flexibility
Efficient processes are the foundation of your business flexibility. They tie up fewer resources in the value chain, eliminate non-value-added work and thus reduce resource consumption and inventories. This in turn makes you faster and more responsive; not only can you react more flexibly to market changes, but above all you can act early.
