Workshop hall, cool concrete space

We don’t talk – we do.

Finally someone who goes into the operation — and leaves something that runs on Monday without them.

No slide deck battle. No binder of concepts. No consultant fog.

Next step: free joint analysis of the problem spots.

01

Why owners call us

The bottleneck is rarely the software. It sits in the process.

Processes eat time. Approvals stall. Quality swings from shift to shift. Rules and audits add another layer — data protection, standards, industry checks.

Many know where it hurts. Few clear it out — the day-to-day presses on, and consultants often start with slides.

We don’t start with a slide. First we find the friction points together. Then we go point by point: as-is, bottleneck, delivery — and clear it out.

02

Who we are

Three people. One promise: it has to work in daily operations.

Dipl.-Phys. Michael Ströbl
Owner — processes, lean, automation

Over fifteen years in leadership and improvement. From analysis to delivery. Make value streams and waste visible. Automate what burns time every day. Software only where it earns its keep — not where it looks fancy.

Dipl.-Ing. Veronika Heinrich
Rules, quality, risk

So the solution stays auditable and doesn’t fall apart after three months. Audits and day-to-day should fit — including where checks are strict.

Dr. rer. nat. Dorothee Gaigl
Project, capacity, leadership

So the team comes along and Monday morning still works. Leadership, training and standards belong in the work — not in a folder. Plan capacity so the change sticks.

03

What we take on

A change that starts tomorrow — not a two-year programme.

We take a clear slice. We put it in order. Then the next step — once the first one holds.

Process and lean

Where time and material drain away, we make it visible.

  • For each problem spot, record how it runs today
  • Name the waste — waiting, double work, searching
  • Fix a shorter, calmer flow

What is actually needed

We build what people will use — not what sounds good.

  • Clarify need with the users
  • Test before go-live
  • Release only when it holds in daily work

Rules and risk

Requirements belong in the process — not in a folder after the fact.

  • Build requirements in from day one
  • Keep evidence so audits can land
  • Name risks before they get expensive

Training and bringing people along

In the end your people can run it on Monday — without us in the room.

  • Train short, at the real workplace
  • Assign ownership clearly
  • Clear questions in daily work, not only in the classroom

Automation and technology

Only what takes work off people’s hands. No system for its own sake.

  • Cut or automate recurring manual work
  • Use existing tools before buying new ones
  • Keep it simple so it stays maintainable

Supply chain and capacity

Material, time and capacity under control — without constant firefighting.

  • Make bottlenecks in the chain visible
  • Clarify buffers and priorities
  • Set planning so shift and assembly can breathe

The next step

When the first point holds, the next one comes — not everything at once.

  • Check the result of the first step
  • Name the next bottleneck
  • Again: short, clear, bounded

Every industry. Every size. The method stays — the language fits the operation.

04

How we work

Friction points first. Then point by point: as-is, bottleneck, delivery.

Once, up front — free of charge

Together we find the friction points and the optimisation potential. The first hours are for that — not for a full as-is of the whole plant.

Afterwards you know where it is worth starting. You decide calmly which point comes first.

Per friction point — three steps

No binder of concepts in between. In the end the new flow runs without us.

Flow: friction points, as-is, bottleneck, delivery
  1. As-is at this point

    How does it run today at exactly this friction point? We capture the as-is — as the first step at this one point, not as a plant-wide sweep.

  2. Name the bottleneck and offer

    We name the bottleneck at this point. Offer only for this item. Price and limit Michael states in conversation. Nothing here is binding.

  3. Delivery

    We deliver and stay until your people can do it alone. Benefit you can see — no binder that gathers dust after three months.

Figures on lead time, scrap and alignment we name in conversation for your case. Not as a promise on this page.

Next step

One email. The friction points. A clear next step.
