SYNCHRO – the lean-management system from TRUMPF

Process excellence means synchronising all processes through flow, line balance, pull and the zero-error principle. With the flow principle, we reduce throughput times and make problems visible more quickly. Optimised line balancing guarantees even capacity utilisation and enables increased productivity. The pull principle reduces throughput times and accelerates the material flow. Dealing with errors openly makes constant improvements possible.

At TRUMPF, management excellence means detecting and remedying errors through on-site management. Goals are clearly defined and communicated to everyone involved in the process. This openness promotes personal responsibility, provides orientation and helps to prevent errors.

Excellence cannot be prescribed, it must be lived. Excellence in conduct is therefore also a part of SYNCHRO. Our management culture is shaped by respect and responsibility with regard to the employees. We have established a system of understanding and problem solving which reduces waste and reinforces personal responsibility.

Last but not least, the highest quality requirements can only be met with clearly defined standards.
