Insight into the
consulting field "Production Management"
There are many causes for inefficient and inadequate production: Changes in unit numbers, the product spectrum, the gradual emergence of rigid but now obsolete structures and many more. Ultimately this leads to high inventories, extended throughput times, excessive delivery periods and permanent rescheduling of ongoing production. The implementation and consistent application of lean production principles can help to achieve fundamental optimisation and continuous improvements. Our project experience has shown that production strategies in planning and control that are adapted to the material flow – for instance the introduction of a pull system – can significantly affect process efficiency. The interface between production and logistics, especially in material supply and replenishment control, is another integrative building block on the way to efficient production within an excellent factory.
