The Challenge

Production lines had been operating at a stable but suboptimal level for years. Opportunities existed to increase output, efficiency, and engagement, but a scalable approach to sustain results and roll out to multiple lines and locations was lacking.

The Objective

  • Achieve a 10% OEE increase on an initial pilot line.
  • Develop a plan for rollout to multiple lines and locations.
  • Train internal trainers for practical workshops.
  • Train and guide self-managing teams on the shop floor.
1
Pilot on one line
Loss & waste analysis, clear targets, and concrete improvement projects. Project leaders and sponsors specifically trained.
2
Set up performance management
Established governance and initiated line performance meetings to monitor and adjust progress.
3
Intensive team coaching (12 weeks)
Teams guided on-the-job in independently improving and securing results.
4
Scalable rollout
Leadership teams trained and coached; start workshops on the floor per team and guidance during the initial improvement steps.
5
Train internal trainers
Practical train-the-trainer and organization of approximately 15 workshops across all locations.

Our 4-step approach

The Result

  • At least +10% OEE during pilots and rollout.
  • Self-managing teams that independently initiate and secure improvement actions.
  • Higher engagement of employees and team leaders.
  • Internal capacity to facilitate workshops and improvement projects independently.

Methodology

Practical and people-oriented: we connect leadership, team development and performance management. We use recognizable Lean/Six Sigma tools, clear standards, and a rhythm of meetings, so teams know what ‘good’ looks like and can manage accordingly. The combination of sharp analysis, clear performance rhythm, and coaching on the shop floor made teams owners of improvement. The pilot provided evidence and momentum; the train-the-trainer and rollout approach ensured the effect remained and scaled.

Our Role

Master Black Belt guidance for content and method, team and leadership coaching for behavior and collaboration, and setting up structure and rhythm to sustain results in the line.
