Operational Excellence and Improvement
Are you looking for Help with Operational Excellence?
In a challenging global marketplace, your operations team is constantly under pressure to operate safely, deliver faster, cut costs, increase capacity, demand more from people and improve quality.
Maybe you’re looking to drive value overall. Or you’re dealing with a specific and pressing operational challenge. Or perhaps you need to bring consistency to operations in multiple global facilities, or you need to get recent acquisitions in line with the rest of the organization. Whatever the case, you’re actively seeking operational excellence solutions that will simplify processes, help you achieve the most efficient way of working while enable your productivity improvement goals.
But you’ve been down the operational excellence road before. The process may have failed to result in the rapid or sustainable gains you were promised. Or even if you did notably improve performance, you’ve lost momentum. Or you’re not sure how to take it to the next level. What’s more, your leaders are divided on the best approach to operational excellence, with some preferring overall transformational change and others having a project mindset focused on specific performance improvements.
Leveraging Operational Excellence for Rapid, Sustainable Growth
As the established leader in operational excellence consulting, VdG Consult takes a broad view that goes not only beyond cutting costs but helps your organization and people to leverage its operations to fuel growth.
We help you improve operational speed to increase your agility, flexibly, and responsiveness and lower your cost-to-serve. Depending on your goals, we can deliver immediate short-term performance improvements, or we can implement long-term cultural transformation where operational excellence initiatives are tied directly to your plans for profitable growth.
From short-term cost-out and cash flow improvements, to broad-reaching performance and business process improvements, to organizational-wide lean transformation, we help you achieve operational excellence that that rapidly translates directly into measurable financial and people happiness results.
A Hands-on Approach that Drives Improvement from the Ground Up
We believe operational excellence requires both top-down commitment and ground-floor engagement. So that’s where we work on - shoulder to shoulder with your operations leaders and people who are enmeshed in your business every day. By being at the point of impact, we can more quickly and accurately diagnose the key issues and hone in on the critical components and information.
We can identify the best emerging technologies to enable your specific operational excellence improvement objectives. And we can implement operational excellence initiatives quickly—in a matter of weeks as opposed to months or quarters - to tackle your biggest challenges and start driving immediate results.
While rapid operational excellence improvements are critical, for real growth to occur, those changes have to be sustainable. Through knowledge transfer and coaching, we help your operational leaders develop the skills they need to lead and maintain change.
We install a management system process to connect your operational excellence initiatives to daily execution. And we help you establish maintenance excellence strategies to optimize asset utilization, equipment availability, and overall equipment effectiveness, ultimately ensuring the highest levels of safety, quality, delivery and cost.
Everyone in your organization gets training on lean and problem solving to use this on a daily basis along with a clear view of goals and results. We believe that empowering people and make them accountable they will drive the ongoing and continuous improvements in your organization.
If you’re looking to do more than just cut costs, the VdG Consult approach to operational excellence consulting can give you the edge you need to achieve your strategic objectives, grow faster, being efficient, work happiness and grow more on a long-term.
