In 2004, Andreas Kleinert helped the start of Novartis’ Operational Excellence journey. With the local team he set up the first trainings and coached the initial projects to success.
These were legendary times of Lean and Six Sigma entering pharmaceutical companies. Today, we still train Green Belts and Black Belts at Novartis. We are very proud that they still contact us for really challenging tasks, as well as to have a friendly discussion over a coffee.
Overwhelming backlogs and the light in the tunnel might be a candle? Our experience is you can always get more out of your production even without additional people and equipment. Together with your leadership team, we usually start to understand which levers are there with a short potential analysis. Once it’s clear what needs to be done, we move ahead with our Shopfloor Transformation. This is a proven approach which we tailor to your needs. Often supporting functions like logistics, design or order management have a significant impact. This is why we include also these by our approach for Lean Process Transparency. Result is of course more Output. We estimate beforehand how much more to get out after which efforts. And your people will take over many of the implemented methods.
