Introduction: Why Efficiency Defines Modern Manufacturing
Across Europe, manufacturers face rising energy costs, workforce shortages, and pressure to digitise production systems. Yet despite technological progress, many still struggle to balance productivity and profitability.
This is where industrial consulting becomes essential — helping companies identify inefficiencies, redesign processes, and implement sustainable improvements.
At ToCleanProduction, we work with manufacturers to optimise operations, standardise work, and boost performance through practical, data-driven methods.
According to Mordor Intelligence, the European consulting market is growing at over 5.8 % annually, reflecting an increasing demand for operational efficiency and transformation expertise.
What Industrial Consulting Really Means
Industrial consulting is not just about analysis and reports — it’s about results.
It combines Lean manufacturing, REFA time studies, and process management to make every step in production measurable and controllable.
At ToCleanProduction, our consulting framework covers:
-
Process analysis and workflow redesign
-
Time measurement and REFA-based standardisation
-
Capacity planning and production balancing
-
Daily management systems (DMS) and KPI dashboards
-
Interim management for transformation phases
Each project is tailored to your production environment and aligned with European industry standards.
Why European Manufacturers Choose External Consultants
1. Unbiased Perspective
An external expert brings objectivity — identifying inefficiencies that internal teams may overlook.
As noted in a study published on DiVA Portal, value in industrial consultancy depends not only on competence but also on timeliness, documentation quality, and relationship management.
2. Digital and Process Transformation
The shift to Industry 4.0 requires data integration, workflow transparency, and smart resource planning. Consultants accelerate this transformation by translating data into actionable process improvements.
3. Balancing Cost and Compliance
In Europe’s competitive environment, manufacturers must reduce costs without compromising on sustainability and regulatory compliance. A structured consulting approach enables exactly that.
Our Approach: From Data to Sustainable Improvement
At ToCleanProduction, our methodology follows three clear steps:
1. Diagnostic and Analysis
We start by mapping workflows, performing time studies, and identifying waste.
Through REFA methodology and Lean tools, we quantify potential gains in productivity and efficiency.
2. Implementation and Coaching
Once improvement opportunities are defined, we help teams establish standard work, visual management tools, and daily control routines.
Our consultants work directly on the shop floor — not just advising but executing side by side with your people.
3. Continuous Improvement and KPI Monitoring
We implement dashboards, KPIs, and leadership routines that sustain progress.
Our goal is not short-term improvement, but long-term transformation embedded in company culture.
