Make things happen with Smart Factory Consulting. We analyse your processes with industry knowledge and expertise in lean methodologies. Frequently, it's the small levers that yield a significant impact. All with a single objective – processes that ensure the smooth operation of your business.  

Transform pain points into opportunities

Lean processes

Chaos ensures on the shop floor when production lacks proper process control. The result is poor machine utilisation and excess costs. There is a lack of transparency and planning security. To make your processes efficient and profitable, we address fundamental questions and establish clear procedures, such as ensuring that materials are delivered to the right location. How do orders travel from one work station to the next?  

Implementation time

Amid the hustle of daily production, there's rarely sufficient time to address and eliminate problem areas methodically. Establish a culture of continuous improvement with our assistance. We provide both the time and the necessary expertise to get started. Once the methods and key figures for your shop floor management are in place, you can utilize them independently to maintain control over your production. 

Integration into downstream processes

Sheet metal production planning demands extensive expertise. How can you effectively integrate the new machine or system into your current production processes? As your co-pilot, we provide continuous guidance and work together to find the best approach. We also demonstrate where you stand in comparison to your competitors and highlight the opportunities that arise from this assessment. Leverage the combination of sheet metal process knowledge and our best practice experience.

Lean management & improved processes

Order is half the battle – this principle applies to your processes as well. We take a close look at your production, uncover potential for improvement and provide lean management methods to help you realise this potential quickly. This involves practical questions, such as where are you losing time unnecessarily? What is the best stock level? Do you have enough storage locations? Daily routines often help to achieve greater transparency and control in your production. This helps you to gain confidence and know that your production facility is operating with data security. 

Process integration for equipment

Unlock the full potential of your new investment. With us as your co-pilot, you can seamlessly integrate your new machine or system into your existing production environment. This reduces your part costs, boosts output and enhances transparency.

Shop floor management

Manage your production with agility through shop floor management routines. By identifying and utilizing the appropriate key performance indicators, you gain transparency – a solid foundation for making informed daily decisions. Involving your employees in everything is also crucial,  as they ultimately breathe life into the processes.

Sustainability & energy management

Sustainability is not an end in itself, but a key to your competitive production. We closely examine your processes and facilities, identifying the most effective measures to reduce your consumption of raw materials, energy and consumables. And to cut costs.
