Production optimization ensures that your production is optimally aligned. This means that time and costs are reduced while output is increased. To ensure that production optimization succeeds, it is necessary to make various adjustments and use supporting intelligent detailed planning systems. The aim is to achieve end-to-end transparency and increased flexibility throughout the entire production process.
Production planning includes the processes of production program planning, quantity planning and procurement planning as well as capacity and schedule planning and finally production preparation and control. This results in a great deal of potential and a wide variety of approaches for optimizing production.
But why is production optimization so challenging? Here is a list of typical problems many companies are facing:
If logistics processes do not run smoothly, it is often difficult to achieve the specified cycle time. The problems here are manifold and range from inadequate material supply to unnecessary distances and less-than-ideal batch sizes. Our experts find a solution for every problem and support you in optimizing your logistics problems. Even the smallest changes can have a major impact on overall production optimization.
Especially in production lines with a large number of variants or when starting up new production lines, the planned cycle time is often difficult to achieve. For line balancing, the availability of components, line interlinking and set-up time optimization play a central role. We take a close look at your production and use our many years of experience to identify optimization potential in a short time.
To ensure that production does not come to a standstill, component storage systems are ideal. This means that production can continue even if there is a malfunction anywhere in the plant. However, component storage systems require valuable space and tie up capital. Finding the right balance between plant availability and cost efficiency as well as determining the ideal buffer size – that’s where we provide active support.
The optimizations have been completed and the production plant is equipped with new production processes and components. Now it is time to qualify the employees so that the desired effects are actually achieved. We train your employees and prepare them for the new processes.
Production line downtime costs time and money and, above all, it stretches your nerves. Our goal is to ensure that your plant produces permanently in high quantities with a wide range of variants.
With ideal production optimization, you will achieve your goals while gaining end-to-end transparency over the processes in your factory.
Increased competition, rising cost pressure and changing customer requirements force you to permanently optimize your production. We know the tricks to achieve the best result for you:
We have already successfully applied our knowledge for many different customers and in a wide range of industries. This means that our experts are thoroughly familiar with production optimization and know exactly how improvements can be achieved quickly and sustainably.
In addition, we draw on specially developed, intelligent algorithms to achieve even more detailed optimization. These algorithms enable us to provide you with the best possible support so that you are always one step ahead of the competition.

The design of your production and logistics processes as well as efficient intralogistics are central to your success. We at Leadec have set ourselves the task to plan your material flow and optimize your logistics. Let us break new ground together to optimize your logistics planning.
With experience from numerous projects worldwide, we are experts in both new factory construction (greenfield) and factory planning for existing production buildings (brownfield) to integrate new facilities or production lines.
We at Leadec can effectively support you in product and process planning as well as optimization in both areas. Our experts develop innovative solutions for your series and assembly planning in a goal-oriented, resource-saving and efficient manner.
Production optimization analyzes which unnecessary raw materials can be avoided, which measures can be taken to save energy and to what extent the workload can be reduced to achieve an ideal result. This shortens throughput times and helps production momentary.
There are seven different sub-areas in which production optimization can achieve significant improvements: Optimizing setup times, personnel costs, production costs, throughput times, capacity utilization and capital commitment. The focus is always on the four basic principles of lean production: pull, cycle, flow and perfection.
The following methods are applied:
5W (Methodical root cause analysis)
OEE analysis
Maintenance optimization (TPM)
Assessment of the production system
Six Sigma
