Our Lean services
We combine all the building blocks into a coherent program – from a quick Kaizen sprint to a company-wide Lean system. We start pragmatically, measure the impact, and scale when it works.
Timeline: Assessment 1–2 weeks, pilot 4–8 weeks, rollout per area 6–12 weeks. We support management and teams in parallel.
Business model & KPIs
Typical effects (5S & Value Stream Mapping):
- Lead time -20–50%
- Inventory -15–35%
- Setup times -30–70%
- Scrap -10–30%
ROI example: A pilot project using 5S and value stream mapping reduces setup times by 40% and saves 600 hours per year. At CHF 80/hour, this equates to CHF 48,000 per year – the project breaks even after just a few months.
Quick check: Your potential
Assess your savings potential: Processes with many changeovers, waiting times, or search times offer the greatest leverage. We would be happy to validate your specific situation in an initial consultation.
Case study: Assembly area
Initial situation:
Unstructured workstations, long search times, high inventory levels between processes, unclear material flows, and a lack of transparency regarding bottlenecks. Lead times fluctuate significantly, and priorities are not clearly identifiable.
Approach:
- Conducting a value stream analysis (current state) to identify waste and bottlenecks
- Defining a target value stream with reduced work in progress (WIP) and clear flow principles
- Implementing 5S in all relevant areas (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain)
- Visualizing material flows and inventory (e.g., FIFO lanes, floor markings)
- Implementing simple KPI boards for daily monitoring
- Training employees on standards and 5S audits
- Lead time -28%
- Search times -60%
- Inventory in process -35%
- Productivity +15%
- Significantly increased transparency regarding material flow and bottlenecks
Learned outcomes:
A clearly defined value stream combined with consistently implemented 5S creates the foundation for stable processes. Visual organization reduces complexity and makes problems visible more quickly, thus enabling effective continuous improvement.
FAQ Lean
How long does a Lean project take?
Assessment: 1–2 weeks, pilot phase: 4–8 weeks. The rollout depends on size and complexity—often 3–6 months per plant/department.
How do we ensure sustainability?
Standards, Leader Standard Work, KPI reviews, and coaching. We gradually transfer responsibility to your teams.
Who should be part of the team?
Manufacturing/logistics, quality, maintenance, work preparation, and management. An experienced Lean Champion will assist with scaling.
