The challenge: Creating transparency and controlling global processes

Many companies reach their limits along global value creation networks: processes have grown historically, system landscapes are fragmented and responsibilities are unclear. Without transparency, inefficiencies remain hidden – decisions are made on the basis of assumptions rather than data. The risk: rising costs, fluctuating service quality and projects that get stuck in the transformation process.

The result: The company’s own growth is limited
A lack of process and data clarity leads to long lead times, expensive detours and undetected inefficiencies. Silos prevent improvements from having an end-to-end effect. When it comes to transformation, this means higher risks, a lack of acceptance and often a failure of the company’s own structures.

Digital Manufacturing Framework

Das Manufacturing Framework dient als strukturierender Leitstern für die Transformation zur intelligenten Produktion. Es wurde entwickelt, um produzierenden Unternehmen dabei zu helfen, ein unternehmensspezifisches Zielbild zu entwickeln und fokussiert umzusetzen.

In Co-Creation-Workshops erarbeiten wir gemeinsam mit unseren Kunden daraus ein klares, umsetzbares Zielbild für die intelligente Fabrik – und machen Digitalisierung planbar und wirksam.

Was das Framework leistet:

  • Es übersetzt strategische Ziele der Produktion in messbare KPIs.
  • In 12 Handlungsfeldern werden konkrete Optimierungspotenziale adressiert – vom Planning & Scheduling über Materialfluss und Shopfloor Management bis hin zu IT/OT-Integration, Asset Management und ERP-Anbindung.
  • Jedes Handlungsfeld ist mit relevanten Personas, typischen Use Cases und messbaren Erfolgsgrößen unterlegt.
  • Es schafft Orientierung bei gewachsenen Strukturen, hilft Silos aufzubrechen und fördert eine integrierte, datenbasierte Produktionssteuerung.

cbs Manufacturing Plateau Model

Das Plateau-Modell beschreibt die Entwicklung Ihrer Manufacturing-Organisation in vier Stufen. Mit jedem Plateau gelangen Sie auf ein nachhaltiges Level, mit dem Sie Ihren Wertbeitrag und die Reife in Ihrer Organisation steigern.

Der Einsatz von KI spielt hierbei eine wichtige Rolle und wird Sie in Ihrem Vorhaben verstärken. Dabei ist es unerheblich, welche Art oder welcher Umfang von KI verwendet wird. Es ist entscheidend, dass Ihr Manufacturing gezielt durch die erforderlichen Fähigkeiten unterstützt und weiterentwickelt wird, um die Unternehmensziele zu erreichen und die relevanten Produktionskennzahlen zu erfüllen.

The results we achieve

With AI-supported supply chain analytics, we identify the causes of process problems (e.g. OTIF deviations) in real time – and create a reliable basis for fast, data-based decisions.
Through end-to-end visibility and cross-process control, we improve delivery reliability and ensure consistent process performance.
Improved planning processes, closely coupled with analytics and KPI dashboards, ensure more precise forecasts – and therefore more stable process and supply chain decisions.
Data-based inventory and process optimisation reduces tied-up capital in the supply chain – measurably and sustainably
Leonard Budeus
If you want to successfully transform your supply chain, you first need clarity about your own processes. With business process management and data-driven analytics, we create precisely this transparency - and give companies the opportunity to make informed decisions in real time and continuously improve their value creation.
