Learn MoreKFS GROUP: Industrial performance consulting
We make supply chains resilient.
KFS GROUP helps plant, quality, supply-chain and operations leaders restore output, stabilize quality and build the digital capability that keeps improvements in place.
Lifecycle
From the drawing to stable series production
We know series production and crisis from our task force work. That is why we set up the drawing and the suppliers right, and data and AI keep the result in place when we leave.
-
Develop
Can this be built, and at what cost?
Design for X: we review the design for manufacturing, assembly, cost, quality and sourcing.
Problems are solved on the drawing, before they reach the tool and the line.
Data and AI : Cost and scenario models
-
Decide
Make it ourselves or buy it in?
A make-or-buy analysis with the full cost and the risks on the table.
A decision based on numbers rather than gut feeling.
Data and AI : Cost and scenario models as the basis for the decision
-
Source
Who can supply this reliably and in the right quality?
Sourcing strategy, project purchasing, supplier search and qualification.
Qualified suppliers who are ready when production starts.
Data and AI : Supplier and risk monitoring, demand and inventory forecasts
-
Industrialise
How does the prototype become a capable process?
Process development and implementation, in your own plant or at the supplier.
A process ready for series production, documented and handed over to your team.
Data and AI : IT/OT architecture, process data from day one
-
Ramp up
When do we reach the volume we promised?
We stay with you through the ramp-up until volumes are stable.
The target volume is reached, and problems become visible while they are still small.
Data and AI : Real-time KPIs instead of Excel rounds
-
Run stable and escalate
What if output or quality breaks down?
Processes and zero defects, quality, supply chain and risk, and a task force when it counts.
An action plan to reduce delivery backlogs and stabilise supply.
Data and AI : Predictive quality, anomaly detection, ML pipelines
Software Solutions
