Rudolf Burkhard
Owner, Common Sense Solutions
If you aren’t a production, distribution or business manager, my summary may not interest you. Save time & stop reading.
If you ARE one of these & would like to know if I can help solve some of your problems, please read on.
If you & your team are frustrated by unrelenting pressure for shorter more reliable lead times; ever greater asset & personnel productivity, lower inventory, & cost reduction, maybe I can help.
How?
We will analyse to determine where your potential lies.
My objective is to protect jobs & employee security. For this we will find ways to increase Throughput (gross margin); the rate your company makes money.
We will target significantly shorter, more reliable lead times (to gain sales & Throughput). We will cut inventory and ensure no shortages & surpluses. We seek ways to increase factory capability without cost or investment. Success will boost profit & ROI.
I am a TOC & Systems-Thinking geek. Discovering what blocks better performance (in production & business systems) is my passion. Once we have your constraint, I plan to participate in the design & implementation of the changes.
Your limiting factor can be a physical resource (a machine, a person, or a group) or it can be the market does not buy enough. Many times, the root cause is a policy, rule, KPI or behaviour.
I can help cut lead time, eliminate shortages & surpluses, & improve due date reliability. You become a lot more attractive to clients.
I can help you find capacity you are not aware of. Often, a factory can produce up to 40% more without investing.
We will make your inventory management dynamic. Your system will continually move stock levels towards the optimum. Missing components and missed sale become rare. The algorithm helps eliminate shortages & surpluses.
Your new modified processes will increase fixed asset & working capital productivity. You get more Throughput per asset €. You produce more Throughput per € of investment.
Personnel productivity will increase.
Productivity improvements come from our focus on the physical or policy constraints.
Does this sound magical? It isn’t. Magic comes from focusing on those few elements that determine your bottom line. It comes by aligning & coordinating your organisation. Every employee’s target is to ensure your few limiting elements deliver to their maximum.
Think of traffic jams. If everyone behaves correctly many more cars can get through the bottleneck.
If you have not done so already, please Link with me. Check out my newsletter and maybe subscribe to it.
