Process Optimisation & Project Management
Process optimisation and technical project management
Analyse processes, improve tooling, lead projects, from feasibility review to running series production.
Many production problems are not operator errors but design decisions from the past. We analyse processes where they run, name causes openly and implement improvements as concrete design measures.

Process Optimisation & Project Management
Service modules
Process analysis
Recording cycle time, scrap, set-up effort and disruption causes directly at the process.
Tool optimisation
Targeted modifications to existing tooling instead of expensive replacement.
Feasibility review
Early assessment of parts for formability, tolerances and tooling effort.
Continuous improvement
Introducing improvements in a structured way and making their effect measurable.
Technical project management
Coordination between design, toolmaking, purchasing and production, with one contact.
Supplier alignment
Technical clarification with toolmakers and suppliers based on unambiguous documents.
Typical assignments
Situations in which companies bring VEC on board.
- Scrap
- Recurring defect patterns in series production
- Tool life
- Frequent tool downtime and rework
- Cycle time
- Processes that cannot hold customer takt
- Ramp-up
- New projects without internal design capacity
- Relocation
- Moving tools or processes to new sites
Project example
A series production showed recurring dimensional deviations. The analysis revealed that the cause was not the operation but the part fixation.
- Process and defect patterns recorded at the workstation
- Support and clamping concept redesigned
- Result secured through defined inspection characteristics
What you receive
- Documented process analysis with root cause assessment
- Prioritised measure list with effort and impact
- Design implementation of the agreed measures
- Support until series production is stable
