When data is not enough
Sometimes you go through all the KPIs, measure the times, calculate the losses... and it still doesn't work out. At that point, the problem may be the point of view, not the instruments themselves.
Operational blindness is not a failure
The in-house team knows the production perfectly. But this can be a hindrance - because some obvious problems are no longer perceived by people on the inside. It's not a lack of skills, it's a natural phenomenon called operational blindness.
What an external expert brings
An external consultant is not a magician. His or her work requires time, money and the cooperation of your team. Yet it can make a big difference:
-
✅ Brings experience from dozens of other companies - including those in your industry.
-
✅ Not burdened by company culture or "this is how we always do it here".
-
✅ He has an overview of the latest technologies and trends.
And most importantly, he can be the one to uncover the real source of the problem.
Our experience
