Monitoring & analysis
01. Monitoring & analysis
The definition, recording and presentation of the most important company key figures are essential for efficient company management and the identification of optimization potential. The KPI monitoring system developed by EPM makes it possible to adapt the key performance indicators to the specific company structure (are the KPIs adapted to the structure?) And to create the highest level of individual transparency.
The standardized IT tools in connection with a secured Cloud database, ensure a uniform, cross-plant and transnational working method. These analysis tools also enable the quick and efficient integration of ERP and production data. Semi-automated tools with a high degree of adaptation by EPM are used to monitor the project progress, the quality of the degree of fulfillment and the risk assessment.

02. Process optimization
In order to maintain its competitiveness, a company must be prepared to continuously review and optimize all areas of the company. This applies even more so to acute problems in production or to short-term troubleshooting. EPM provides an experienced team to meet this challenge.

Cost reduction
03. Cost reduction
When it comes to reducing costs, the interdisciplinary team at EPM not only focuses on directly visible waste (Japanese: muda), but also attacks the causes of this waste, which are identified as being caused by irregularities (Japanese: mura) and overloading (Japanese: muri) of systems, resources and employees.
The EPM team integrates the identified potentials together with the on-site processes of the customer. Parallel to this, the shop floor management is set up, with which the improvements are furthered through Kaizen activities. EPM sees the goal of a cost reduction project achieved when the improvements have been incorporated into the customer’s processes in a sustainable and automated manner. The big advantage of the EPM approach is thus the speed at which this can be done.

01 Muda = Waste
Muda is often translated as “waste”, but it means much more than that. Muda is any activity that does not directly add value and is the basic concept of the Monozukuri principle (Monozukuri is Japanese for “making things”). In this sense, necessary processes, such as the shipment of products, are constantly under critical scrutiny. Seven types of waste are used to identify Muda
02 Mura = Irregularity
03 Muri = Overload

Project planning
04. Project planning & launch coordination
Efficiency and experience in detailed and comprehensive planning are key elements of a successful SOP. Sustainable technical expertise and practical experience are a must. A launch team from EPM provides the interdisciplinarity for the challenges from the start of development to successful series production. This is a service that EPM has provided for a wide variety of possibilities with high technical and geographical complexity for years.
