“Ideas are only as good as their
practical and successful imple-
mentation,” said Dr. Kurt Stoll
once.
In the case of training activities,
this means that training must be
tailored closely to your require-
ments in order to ensure suc-
cessful implementation.
The basis for this is professional
consultancy and precise deter-
mination of your requirements.
This has been the principle be-
hind the development of our
new range of training and con-
sultancy services, which com-
prise everything from an analy-
sis of training needs through
to public seminars and in-house
training programmes, offering
the right solution for every
need.
In view of the ever-increasing
competitive pressure faced by
companies today, lean produc-
tion systems, reduced downtime
and increased machine availa-
bility are vital prerequisites for
long-term success. This success
can be achieved only if improve-
ments in production and admin-
istration are codified into stan-
dards at regular intervals and
further improved. For this pur-
pose, companies need staff who
are able to recognise potential
for optimisation in a timely
fashion, no matter whether this
relates to communication,
organisation or technology.
As an experienced and strong
partner, we can help you to pre-
pare your staff and your compa-
ny to meet these challenges of
the future.
This catalogue describes our
complete range of training and
consulting services. A new inclu-
sion is the area of process
automation, for which we have
developed a comprehensive
range of services. You will also
find an overview on page 10 – 13
which shows the target groups
to which our services relate.
This will help you to select the
right courses for your staff.
We would be delighted to be
allowed to offer you support in
dealing with the challenges fac-
ing your business and hope that
this catalogue will be the first
step towards successful train-
ing.

tested processes
– Complete elimination of errors
and malfunctions
– Identification and resolution
of the true causes of problems
– Optimisation of all process
factors
– Close communication with
machine operators
– Cleanliness, order, discipline
and standardisation as the
basis for quality
Benefits and results
