LEAN TRANSFORMATION IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AREA

Challenge

Purchasing, materials planning, and production planning were operating reactively. High levels of overtime, a lack of prioritization, and inventory-driven production led to inefficiency, unnecessary capital tie-up, and a constant need for coordination between the office and the shop floor.

Intervention

• Analysis of end-to-end administrative processes.
• Introduction of clear prioritization logic and a daily board as part of shop-floor management.
• Implementation of Kanban elements and a shift to demand-oriented procurement with a defined six-week production horizon.
