Increased demand, volatile raw material prices, new technologies, increased competition, more demanding clients are some conditions that put pressure on improving manufacturing performance. To be fast in making the change and comply with these needs is key. Is your organization able to make the change on short notice, taking the people along the change?

At EFESO we are used to deal with these situations. We know where to find the drivers for change in systems, processes as well as the people. Our approach is combing a proven methodological approach with a strong human dynamic aspect and digital where it matters, to have impact on both performance as well as people, assuring a long-lasting impact.

The current setup of the operating system is preventing the organization to progress. The actual footprint is not competitive anymore; factories need to be redesigned in order to reduce cost or optimize lead times; the operating system is not state of art in terms of smart manufacturing. Do improvements on your current systems and process not bringing enough results anymore? Is a fundamental change of the operating system needed?

Through the years, we have developed a strong expertise in supporting organizations to transform their operating system. Either a new operating design for excellence or a redesign of the manufacturing footprint. But also, fundamentally changing the operations by moving into a smart factory design by assessing, designing and implementing digital solutions in IT, Operations Technologies (OT) and data analytics.

Continuous improvement methodology has been introduced in almost all organizations. It helped reach results and there is still a strong belief that continuous improvement (CI) is the way forward. However, the old way does not bring the expected results anymore; champions have left, each site is taking its own approach, there is no single CI agenda in global organization.

At EFESO Management Consultants we are taking a step further. In addition to the WCOM™ program we developed back in the 80’s with continuous improvement, TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), Lean Sigma and other industrial methods we take a holistic approach to deliver outstanding results. We integrate change management, leadership and digital, while maintaining our strong capability to implement global programs and transferring continuous improvement capabilities to our clients.
