Skills

Core Competence are lying in the combined expertise of:
1) Operations management and Total Quality Management
2) Marketing and Business Development (Industrial Marketing)
3) Technology- and Innovation Management
4) Change management

Potential problems:
- Manufacturing costs are too high, and/or drain away at unknown places,
- the quality of the end-product is not good enough or unclear, to much scrap is produced, quality perception at the workfloor is low
- adjustment between production stages are poor, downtime is high, inventory is to high, lack of space, to high stock levels.
- overhead costs are to high, or a proper overview of who is doing what, when and how, is lost. Poor collaboration between individual departments
- planning and in time delivery
- a new process needs to be installed
- a misfit between operations and market
- improving market focus or customer service
- a new strategical direction or products are needed
- management of product development (Quality Function Deployment, functional design, industrial design, design to manufacture)
- management of market introduction

Project approach
a) Defining situation, project objective(s), scoop, and priorities
b) Defining project approach and change team
c) Process descriptions, and installation key performance indicators
d) Process analysis and problem identification
e) Solution generation and implementation

Project Characteristics
- Its not the change manager who searches for the problems and solves them. Its about the people at the company, helping them how to structurise problems, and helping them to solve them.
- Its not about solving problems today, but also about by bringing the people at a higher level so improvements will happen tomorrow as well.
- Change Management is expensive. By using key performance indicators, proper project targets can be set, and added value properly assessed.
