Managers in the testing of production processes on the shopfloor

Operational excellence is no longer an option - for companies that want to survive in volatile, unsteady waters, there is no alternative. Numerous methods and instruments have developed around the management approach to support the achievement of objectives. Lean Management, Kaizen or Six Sigma are just a few examples. Another underestimated lever for achieving excellence goals is digitalization. We explain what operational excellence is and how you can take advantage of digitization to achieve excellence goals.

Offering customers a wide range of variants will not be a differentiating feature in perspective, but a standard that must also be taken into account operationally in assembly processes, testing processes and other workflows. As the number of variants increases, a suitable data structure becomes more and more important.

Paper-based inventory on the shop floor without Operations1

Efficient and lean production processes not only save money. Companies can secure their long-term success by avoiding wasteful, non-value-adding activities. In contrast, paper-based work instructions and checklists are in stark conflict with lean working methods. Companies that want to increase their productivity and improve their product quality should banish paperwork on the shop floor in favor of software.

Worker assistance systems in use for lean production

Manufacturing companies are increasingly confronted with a variety of challenges: external shocks such as pandemics, wars and global supply bottlenecks are forcing medium-sized companies in particular to become more agile. Internal market developments such as the shortage of skilled workers, an increasing demand for high product diversity, and shortened product life cycles add to the difficulty. The methods and tools of lean management are therefore more important than ever many years after they were first described. The good news: it is easier today than ever before to implement them.

Machines and systems, but also building services installations, must be inspected and maintained at regular intervals to ensure that production operations run smoothly. Maintenance plans are an integral part of maintenance and must therefore be carefully attended to at all times.
