Improve capacity utilization of metal companies

The challenge

A manufacturing investment fund rapidly bought three metal companies. All companies were 100% owned by the DGA. This meant that performance management and optimization of production capacity was hardly present. Insight into daily performance, available capacity and capacity utilization was not present, but necessary to become future-proof.

Our approach

At these holdings, we implemented several improvements, all focused on understanding process performance and better daily and weekly control of it:

1. Create and implement a weekly and monthly report for management and investors
2. Implement weekly scheduling so that occupancy rates are transparent and can be optimized
3. Improving the efficiency of administrative processes through pragmatic digitization
