problem

We are changing direction from one

month to the other. Things changing all
the time, this kills motivation and
business, because we cannot manage
anyhow. How can we overcome this?

I bought all necessary machines, got

good people, but even though it doesnt
work out WHY? Motivation is low and
people sometimes working even against
each other. What is going on?

problem

We have a lot of stock everywhere to be

able to fulfil our customers need. This
cost us a lot. How can we change that?

We have high administration cost. People

creating documents just to do something.
Information flow does not work out
anyhow, because people are not
informed. How can we change that?

Our range is changing more and more.

Order quantities getting smaller and
smaller. A have to change the setup in
production all the time. These costs are
killing us. What can we change?

Production takes to long time.

Sometimes I think we work like in the
Stone Age. How can we overcome this?

We have to many products that do not

sell. We have a high cost in handling
them from product development,
purchase, work preparation, production
to sales. Something is wrong, what?

We are working hard. But at the end of

the month there is only small profit left.
How can we control that?

Our products looks like all the others.

There is no difference. If we want to get
new orders we have to reduce our prices.
How can we come out of the hamster
wheel?

Our transport ways are long. Handling

cost is high. How can we reduce this
cost?

surface?

Many people are not motivated. We have

a weak company culture. How can we

invest into?
