Measurable results – KPI

Setting up important measurable values and clear rules is basic principle for prospering company.

Measuring gives us a tool to control cost and investment efficiency. By measuring key values (KPIs), we gain control over individual processes, thereby effectively addressing the company's weaknesses.

And what are the most important values?

Deliveries in the required quantity, sufficient quality, delivered on time. To do this, we set up KPIs such as: Productivity, Efficiency, Quality, Timeliness of Supplies, Stock Level, Economic Results, ... It is also important to compare the results of current values to the budget.

Balanced score cards strategy

If company KPIs are set, we can continue to work with the set values. Balanced score cards strategy is based on split the of each KPI goals to individuals. This ensures that every employee knows what to do to meet business goals. To fulfill this effect, we will reflect the goals of each employee into wages.

Savings

Savings are the efficient management of our budget. We eliminate unnecessary costs, time and energy and put them into developing of values.

Which costs are unnecessary? Those for which the customer does not pay. After setting the savings methodology correctly, companies can save millions of CZK per year.

Calculation

We offer costing schemes for production and offer prices, including rate calculation. We help with planning forecasts, budgets and investments.

Process mapping

Target of Process Mapping Methodology is to shorten the delivery times of products or services. By mapping individual processes we get overview of bottlenecks during processing and set up optimizations. Result can be for example increasing flexibility, reducing internal transports, reducing production batches... There is big oportunity for savings in process mapping.
