Interim management to stabilize production in a medium-sized foundry
In a challenging phase of the company’s history, characterized by insolvency and a change of ownership, the focus was on stabilizing and optimizing the production processes in a medium-sized foundry. The task required effective interim management in order to stabilize production in the short term and secure it in the long term.
Background
The foundry, a supplier to the automotive sector, was faced with considerable organizational, process-related and technological challenges. Outdated machinery, inadequate data collection and a lack of optimization processes made business operations considerably more difficult.
Specific Task
The aim was to stabilize production in the short term and at the same time create the basis for long-term optimization. This included ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory and labor law requirements as well as creating transparency regarding key production figures and loss types.
KBC Solution Approach
Safety, order and cleanliness measures were implemented to safeguard production. A detailed analysis of the plant data and key production figures was carried out in order to identify loss types and systematically derive optimization measures.
