INSIDE EVERY COMPANY THERE IS AN EVEN BETTER ONE

In today's VUCA* world,
traditional companies face
major challenges
International competitors implement state-of-the-art technology
and secure market shares in established markets
Markets are changing - increasing costs, price and
innovation pressure from customers in corporate structures
Increased internal complexity due to the expansion
in the number of variants and customer-specific solutions
(lot size 1)
Short delivery times are becoming a decisive competitive advantage
in increasingly technologically comparable markets
The shortage of skilled workers and an aging workforce
require measures for transferring and retaining knowledge
(mentor-mentee principle)
Younger employees expect different management behavior
and corporate culture
Traditionally functional structures reach their limits when
faced with high complexity and rapid change
After-sales/services relating to the product over its entire life
cycle are becoming more important
Transitioning from product provider to system provider
requires new structures and qualifications
New players are surging into established value chains and
affecting existing business models
Digitalization is altering value chains and requires high
investments
Many of these companies are also undergoing change.
They must adapt their organizations and processes to
changing market and competitive conditions.
Executives and employees must be able to actively and
sustainably shape change.

LEAN TRANSFORMATION 3

Inside every company there is an even better one.
We believe that every company can become better. This applies not only
to companies facing major problems but also to organizations that are
already excellently positioned. We enable executives and employees to
successfully implement a sustainable culture of change in their own company
and thereby achieve peak performance. We predominantly work
with Lean principles and methods. Based on decades of experience these
have proven to be the best foundation for active continuous improvement
in the company. Leading and working according to Lean principles prevents
waste, increases the productivity of your organization and improves
the quality of your products.
Successful companies stand out through peak
performance
Competitive processes and a
performance-oriented company
culture induce top performance
Employees and executives achieve
excellence through continuous
improvement and generating measurable
results
Our Philosophy: Process excellence
requires leadership excellence.
The key to successful Lean Transformation is the ability of executives and
employees to successfully implement a sustainable culture of change in
their own company and thereby achieve peak performance.
Top performance guarantees

4 LEAN TRANSFORMATION

Success factors for successful
Lean Transformation.
The Staufen approach.
Standing at your side, our experienced consultants ensure that your operating
results and cash flow develop positively in the long term. And that the
functions and procedures in your company are positioned in an excellent
manner. Our consultants are ready to roll up their sleeves and speak plainly.
They see themselves not only as strategic sparring partners, but also as
effective coaches and mentors directly on site.
As improvement is a permanent process and requires a willingness to
change habits, processes and behavioral patterns, we developed our academy
with a focus on professionally training executives and employees
right from the start.
In three phases we create a culture of change, allowing you to react to
future challenges with flexibility. In the first step, we analyze the initial situation
and sensitize executives. We start the change process with a lighthouse
project, learning together and making headway through proven
effectiveness. We continue to implement what we have learned and gradually
roll out Lean principles throughout the company - along the entire
value stream (via development, procurement, production, sales, etc.).
1. Diagnosis and sensitization
2. Lighthouse implementation 3. Roll-out in the company
Recognizing the need for action, creating awareness and managing change
Developing Lean skills and training multipliers
Applying Lean methods and building excellence in a pilot value stream
Developing leadership competence and CIP culture
> Recognizing a
need to act
> Demonstrating effectiveness > Achieving results that are
relevant for operations
