The observation

Do you recognise these signals ?

Six recurring pains we diagnose in 8 out of 10 industrial companies. If any of these signals feels familiar, your operations are leaving cash and performance on the table.
01

Stagnating productivity

Targets hit at 80% every quarter, without really knowing why.

02

High non-quality costs

Scrap, rework, customer returns: the bill piles up with no clear action plan.

03

Teams in firefighting mode

Fires are fought all day long. No time left to improve or standardise.

04

Missing or unclear indicators

OEE, takt, MTBF: the KPIs exist, but nobody uses them to make decisions.

05

Lean initiatives running out of steam

Projects start strong, then fade after 3 months for lack of anchoring in the field.

06

Stalled 4.0 transformation

Many pilots, few roll-outs. ROI is slow to materialise.

+50 industrial companies already supported by our consultants on exactly these problems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How much does an Operational Excellence consultant cost?+
The cost depends on scope and duration. For an industrial SME, expect €800 to €1,400 per day depending on seniority. Most of our assignments pay for themselves in under 6 months through the gains achieved. The first call and initial audit are always free.
How long does a typical assignment last?+
A targeted project (Kaizen, 5S on one line) takes 4 to 8 weeks. A complete Operational Excellence transformation of a site runs over 6 to 18 months, in several waves, with gains measured each quarter.
Do you operate outside Luxembourg?+
Yes. Our core activity is Benelux (Luxembourg, Belgium, France), but we work across Europe and internationally (Maghreb, Eastern Europe, Asia) on large-scale industrial projects.
Which sectors do you specialise in?+
Metallurgy, steel, plastics, automotive, food processing, pharma, chemicals. Our method is adapted to each sector but universal in its fundamentals: flows, KPIs, the field, standards.
Do you work with SMEs or only with large groups?+
Industrial SMEs and mid-caps account for 70% of our assignments. We also offer the Luxembourg SME Package, a subsidised support scheme for Luxembourg SMEs.
