We help to 

Improve processes, drive standardization and deploy modern development 

  • by consulting practically based on your actual needs and not a theoretical ideal,
  • by establishing a continuous improvement culture,
  • by giving an independent assessment of a R&D generalist and not a salesman of one special method,
  • by our entire multi-year experience with processes and standardization and
  • for example in these tasks:

 


Continuous process improvement in R&D

  • implementation of a scalable stage gate development process
  • introduction of an efficient global product change management process
  • adaption of all R&D processes to the requirements of medical device directives
  • establishment of a continuous improvement process, creation on livid improvement culture
  • improvement of process liability by training and implementation of tools

 


Deploying modern development methods

  • training, facilitation, active contribution and directional lead of team for the effective application of
    - quality function deployment, 
    - value analysis
    - risk analysis, system, design- and process FMEA
    - creativity techniques (TRIZ / ASIT / 3P / 6-3-5/ … )

 


Drive standard work in R&D

  • standardization of daily routines, implementation of visual management and daily stand up meetings (SUM)
  • Improvement of accountability in R&D by
    - strict reporting systems (linked to SUM)
    - unambiguous language use in reports, plans, action lists and project minutes
    - personalized daily and weekly goals
  • application of a set of standardized A3 templates for proposal and status reports
  • creation of a relevant metric system
  • creation of design guidelines, test procedure, work instructions
  • standardization and modularization of product documentation, increasing reuse
