Many companies apply Operational Excellence, a few obtain significant impact bottom line and are able to sustain it. Only the connection to your Operations Strategy, supported by Human Dynamics and Digital makes this achievable today.

Depending on the requirements, capabilities and pace at which the client needs to improve performance, EFESO will work with them to design either a Boost or Build approach. The end objective is to establish tangible results and sustainable progression.

WCOM™ is a complete Management System, not simply a tool or a project. It has been applied in hundreds of companies around the world, with many nationalities and cultures and across all industry sectors.

Where implemented, WCOM™ has proved to deliver a strong impact on our clients' financial results; from top-line growth to double-digit cost reductions. WCOM™ makes the most of existing assets, both technical and human, and does not require large investment.

The WCOM™ system operates at 3 levels:

  • Loss Intelligence: to identify business-critical indicators and define the improvement potential and actions that will make a major impact on performance and the client company Profit & Loss statement. A clear plan of attack and audit process assure control and results.
  • Loss Eradication: to eradicate the losses with a step by step ‘hands-on’ approach and to restore, improve and innovate the processes.
  • Loss Prevention: to introduce a system to hold the gains, engaging all levels in the organisation through the daily control system and thereby achieving permanent culture change.

At the heart of successful culture change are the different Human Dynamics (People) techniques and interventions that we use. Changing hearts and minds is critical to sustainable progression.

We use a structured approach for training and coaching to Activate the Leadership, to create the right Adoption by the people and to Anchor the new ways of working firmly into the business.

To support this even further, we capitalize on our experience and expertise by using proven Digital and Industry 4.0 concepts and tools to make the implementation even more impactful and effective.

ALIGN THE PROGRESSION of existing operational systems

To help our clients accelerate the speed of their progression in a sustainable way, EFESO uses 40 years of experience in the application and delivery of Lean, TPM and TQM concepts and methodologies to perfectly integrate them into our WCOM™ Framework and take it to another, more strategic and practical level.

Depending on processes, equipment dependability and production strategy, EFESO works with the client to use the right methodology to maximize results according to the Overall Operational requirements.

Lean Manufacturing is a management philosophy that focusses on achieving flow of material and information by developing production systems that add customer value with a minimum of waste (or Muda). The reduction of lead-times and waiting times in production processes, together with the leveling of capacity, improves the flexibility of the production system and the ability to respond to customer demand - with a consequent reduction in overall working capital. In a labour-oriented and batch and queue environment, Lean is a powerful approach to improve productivity, with a high impact on Transformation Cost reduction.

TPM is a comprehensive methodology which aims at maximizing asset stability and effectiveness throughout its entire lifecycle. It consists of a set of techniques which ensure that the value adding activities for an asset are never interrupted. It does this by using cross-functional teams to attack every loss and to establish loss prevention systems. In a capital intensive environment, TPM is a powerful approach to increase processes efficiency and effectiveness and to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership. It is also a precondition to improve stability, efficiency and performance ahead of a Lean program.
