Micro-stop management
Optimising start-ups and ramp-ups.
Systematic improvement of short stoppages on highly automated production lines.
Automation needs stability
The best automation is worthless if it does not run continuously – and if maintenance staff and machine operators cannot focus on productivity and quality because they are merely trying to keep the line running.
Ask yourself: how much time do your line operators spend on continuous improvement – and how much time on switching lines off and on again?
Our approach
- Record and classify short stoppages systematically
- Analyse causes related to equipment, material and operation
- Implement measures together with maintenance and operators
- Standardise and stabilise start-ups and ramp-ups

A no-obligation initial consultation is enough to find out whether and how we can support you – with the introduction of lean, in a specific method project or with interim management.
