IMPLEMENTATION
NO REINVENTION. IMPLEMENTATION.
More than 90% of our customers are very aware of their operational inefficiencies.
In most cases, they even have a good feel for where to search for root causes.
They all have in common that they don't know how to bridge their gaps.
STREAMLINERS' core competence is tailoring and implementing proven efficiency improvement
tools, methodologies and concepts around your most pressing challenges to eliminate them.
Instead of spending your resources, time and money on reinventing the wheel,
we focus on optimizing and expanding your bottom line.

APPROACH
We typically use a 3 step approach to streamline our customers' operations:
Meet
Deep Dive
Project
Understand Challenge
Define Problem Statement
1 Day
Create Hypothesis
Develop Roadmap
1 Week
Implement New Processes
Set up for Sustainability
2 - 12 Weeks
GAPS AND INEFFICIENCIES
Our customers usually understand which of their operational processes are broken.
Symptoms like excess machine downtime, growing customer backlogs, increasing inventory levels and declining profitability have been top agenda points on every management meeting for months.
The STREAMLINERS approach typically starts with a thorough gaps and inefficiency analysis during the one week deep dive.
The objective of this analysis is to reveal process defects and waste that do not meet the eye. All operational core and support processes are comprehensively assessed and benchmarked against best in class industry standards.

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Once the operational gaps and inefficiencies have been identified and prioritized by their magnitude of customer- and bottom line impact, the most crucial analysis in respect to project success has to be performed: finding the true root causes.
During the past two decades, STREAMLINERS have seen about anything that can possibly go wrong or run inefficiently in production plants. It's our vast human database of very comparable, successfully mastered challenges that we bring to the table.
In other words: there are only so many different trees. After you have seen their roots a few times, you will be able to identify them again. Rather quickly.

HYPOTHESIS
After we have revealed our customers' operational gaps and inefficiencies as well as their root causes, we will conclude our deep dive with the development of a concise hypothesis of how to fix and streamline the broken processes.
When developing the hypothesis, STREAMLINERS put great emphasis on the tangibility of all expected project deliverables and results.
No would have, should have. We speak dollars.

ROADMAP
The final step of our deep dive is the development of a transparent and detailed implementation roadmap including the project timeline, expected deliverables
and the recommended team setup.
Instead of performing never ending projects, STREAMLINERS propose very defined and target oriented workstreams with regular progress reports to our customers' stakeholders.
Staying focused on the essentials and avoiding scope creep during the project is a reliable promise to our customers.

PROJECT
Effective countermeasures to eliminate all identified root causes
for process gaps and inefficiencies get adopted during the project phase.
Streamlined processes as well as meaningful KPIs to track their performance
are being implemented, periodic controlling routines set up.
A typical STREAMLINERS project takes 2 to 12 weeks and
guarantees substantial, measurable and sustainable bottom line improvements.
