Project coaching in manufacturing: get more out of your improvement projects

Many improvement projects start with energy but get stuck or deliver too little. With project coaching in manufacturing, project leaders and teams receive practical guidance for improvement projects on the shop floor, ensuring goals are achieved and results are sustained.

What is project coaching?

Our Lean Six Sigma project coaching focuses on objectives, measurement plans, and collaboration, specifically for production and logistics. We help with clear objectives, a KPI flight plan, a strong A3, and DMAIC coaching toward a stable process in control. Beyond content, we focus on collaboration, communication, and team dynamics, as these determine whether improvements stick.

Outcomes for your organization

Effective collaboration and energy in the team.

Who is project coaching suitable for?

For project leaders and teams in production and logistics who want to achieve more results from improvement projects. Also suitable for organizations where projects get stuck in analysis, are insufficiently anchored, or where project leaders seek a content sparring partner. This makes project coaching in manufacturing ideal for organizations where projects get stuck in analysis or anchoring.

What others say about working with me

Tineke possesses a remarkable talent for clearly articulating concepts and ideas, which significantly aided my comprehension of statistical analysis – a subject where I required support – and this was pivotal for the conclusions we achieved in the project. Her encouragement was also instrumental in my attainment of the Black Belt. Always knowledgeable and positive, I consistently looked forward to our mentorship sessions.
