Interim Lean consultant to drive process improvement

After a quick chat about OEE, scrap, lead time, and your tech setup, we'll create a requirement profile that covers both skills and culture. We filter through about 8000 interim consultants based on industry experience, Six Sigma certification, and system proficiency in SAP, M3, and MES. Within five business days, we'll present 3 to 4 candidates. References are already checked, so your interviews can focus on their mandate, team chemistry, and how they'll approach the role.

You'll see the full cost breakdown before you decide. 80% goes to the consultant and 20% to us. No upfront fees, no performance bonuses, and no minimum commitment if your needs change. All savings stay with you.

A personal advisor will follow the assignment from the requirement profile to handover. The consultant introduces visual management, standardized work instructions, daily stand-up meetings, and an internal lean council that drives PDCA. Documentation, skill matrices, and digital KPI dashboards are handed over in an operational state.

With value stream analysis, takt balancing, SMED, and 5S, changeovers and micro-stops are shortened. Buffer time decreases, and output increases without needing new machines. In three-shift environments, assignments have often freed up 8 to 10% capacity within 60 days.

Waste in inventory, transport, energy, and rework is identified and addressed with kanban, supermarkets, and pull control. WIP, scrap, and overproduction go down. Typical projects reduce manufacturing cost per unit by 15 to 20% in the first six months and free up working capital.

Standardized work methods and visual aids reduce sources of error and ergonomic risks. Operators are trained in 8D, FMEA, and root cause analysis, and lead their own Kaizen events. The result is fewer incidents and a daily routine where improvements are driven by the teams themselves.

The consultant masters VSM, SMED, Heijunka, takt balancing, TPM, 5 Why, and Six Sigma tools; has driven full-system implementations in both high-volume and high-mix environments, and can quantify the impact in financial terms.

Workshops are held where value is created. Operators' ideas are gathered and implemented, and the link between goals and change is made clear for every shift.

Actions with quick impact are prioritized, and the plan is adjusted when the situation changes. Results are visualized in real-time dashboards linked to margin, delivery precision, and customer satisfaction.
