GRID SEARCH FOR HIDDEN COSTS
The more complex the manufacturing environment, the more difficult it is to identify potential cost reductions. New search methods help to identify them.

Here you can find out what drives ROI-EFESO.
The more complex the manufacturing environment, the more difficult it is to identify potential cost reductions. New search methods help to identify them.
Along industrial value chains, there are various starting points for adapting one’s own cost structures. High Speed Adaptation supplies the tools.
The problem is not the crisis, but the uncertainty that precedes it. The ability to quickly adapt to volatile markets thus becomes a decisive competitive advantage.
Cultural differences between global locations can make it difficult to implement global standards. A ROI project shows how gamification approaches can counteract this.
When lean projects are rolled out globally, one thing counts above all: speed. Against this background, agile methods enable fast scaling.
For complex products with a high variety of variants, stand assembly is still often the method of choice. The example of MAPLAN GmbH shows how things can be different.
On-site management is a central Lean Management instrument. Supported by digital technologies, it becomes a springboard for industry 4.0 deployment in the enterprise.
Lean production is based on complexity reduction. Where it reaches its limits, industry 4.0 elements can enable new levels of efficiency. This effect can be experienced immediately in a simulation.
A Lean Transformation questions essential principles of the learned leadership behavior. In order to optimize processes in the shop floor, psychological resistance in the Management Board must first be overcome.
The key figure-based evaluation of the manufacturing system is one of the first steps in lean projects. In a ROI project for an automotive manufacturer, it became the central game principle.
Lean Production has revolutionised industrial manufacturing. Decades later, the potential seems to be exhausted. Time for the next evolutionary step!
Avoiding waste is the central principle of Lean Management. But in the age of digital abundance, is this still contemporary?
A medium-sized company rents out construction machinery and conveyor systems. In order to digitize equipment rental and make additional services possible, it relies on smart contracts – a blockchain use case.
Modern value-added processes are increasingly dependent on dynamic cooperation. Thomas Müller, CEO & Co-Founder of EVAN GmbH, describes how blockchain technology ensures trust there.
Orientation in times of uncertainty: Six certainties about the Blockchain technology by Dr. Markus Jostock, Founder & Managing Director of ARXUM.
Assumptions about the reception of blockchain technology and the consequences for adaptation. Interview with Dr. Martin Kiel, Codecentric AG/the black frame.
Blockchain technology has the potential to change established patterns in one fell swoop. This applies not only to banks, but also to industry. Their first goal: the supply chain.
A storm is coming: It is the harbinger of a new world whose rules and laws radically differ from our usual ideas - its name: Cryptonia.
Protected active cells of innovation - Welcome to the strategy lab!
There is hardly any new growth opportunity in their core business. However, the digital products and services business shows two-digit growth rates.
Let's do the Time Warp! We are traveling a few years into the future and find that order-picking robots are firmly integrated into the Warehouse 4.0 teams.
Industry superstars like Amazon show: in addition to increasing efficiency and cutting costs, Logistics 4.0 is also concerned with the adaptation of new technologies and new growth – we call this the mastery of bimodal supply chains.
Emission avoidance is not the only major challenge of logistics 4.0 since possible driving bans on Diesel vehicles. Smart transport solutions help to master the increasing volume of goods in a resource-saving manner.
Shelves are an invention of man. But are they still needed at all if warehouses are only operated by robots in the future? No, believes the Norwegian manufacturer Hatteland.
