To synchronize manufacturing operations with customer demands means to avoid waste (muda) in terms of "Kundentakt", that is the rate at which the customers buy the products. The Takt should be the prime performance indicator to judge the value stream. Based on the subsequent alignment of the Value Stream manufacturing processes will then be optimized in terms productivity and efficiency.

Process improvement is facilitated with intelligent approaches to Planning- and Scheduling, steady manufacturing processes and – in most cases – with the application of IT-Tools.

This will avoid bottlenecks and generate the precondition for a production in sync with market demands. The result will be a production system specificly geared to your company’s strategy.
