Best practice for your sustainable Shopfloor Xcellence
Best Practice experience from more than 28 years of digitalisation and process optimisation. Create transparency in your production logistics processes. Eliminate waste and sustainably increase your competitiveness. Benefit from the experts at IGH Infotec AG.
The challenge of production companies
Non-transparent processes, production downtimes, idle times and a lack of shop floor management make efficient production difficult. Why? Because there is a lack of capacity and the necessary expertise. Delayed monitoring of key figures and a lack of cost controlling prevent quick decisions, meaning that measures are often delayed or not implemented at all.

How it works?
01. Roadmap
Where are the wasters, what goals are you pursuing and in which areas would you like to optimise processes? At the start of a project, we work with you in a kick-off meeting to define the scope of the project and the goals you want to achieve. Create a roadmap with fixed performance features, potentials and milestones for implementation with joint teams of experts.
02. Weak Point Analysis
As part of a weak point analysis, we work out which parameters are important for your specific use case. With "Walk the Process", benchmark studies, data analyses or lean methods, the aim is to identify the weak points in the company. How can we optimise and how can we achieve transparency? Together we document the results and prioritise the fields of action with a profitability analysis.
03 KPI Definition
To maximise added value - we work with you to define relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE, productivity and performance and create a specific standard KPI template. This enables you to make a well-founded assessment of your production performance and forms the basis for your sustainable improvements.
04. Data Points
Machine - Personnel - Material flow - What data is needed for transparent processes? The informative value of key figures depends largely on the data points used. In practice, there are inhomogeneous process landscapes, machines from different manufacturers and years of manufacture as well as various interfaces. Together with your experts, we define the influencing and calculated variables in the "brownfield" and support you with concepts for data acquisition.
05. Monitoring
Based on the data created, we set up a KPI evaluation system for the various areas of the company. Together, we develop KPI cockpits for production managers, foremen and shift supervisors to enable effective monitoring and detailed analyses of the KPIs. We identify interactions and carry out target/actual comparisons to support deviation analyses.
06. Control Loops - Continuous Improvement Process
Success through continuous improvement: Companies must constantly evolve in order to meet the challenges of the times. Work with the experts at IGH Infotec AG to translate transparency into concrete, measurable improvement measures. Set up control loops in various areas of the company and define the development of reporting and intervention limits. We work with you to implement continuous improvement processes (CIP) and integrate them into the operational workflow. Whether "gentle adjustment" or "re-engineering", we accompany you on your way to shopfloor excellence.

Shopfloor Management FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Find out how you can optimise your production processes, increase efficiency and establish a culture of continuous improvement through targeted measures.
What is shop floor management?
Shop floor management refers to the management and leadership tasks directly at the point of value creation, i.e. in production. It includes the visualisation of key figures, structured problem solving and close communication between managers and employees in order to continuously improve processes.
How does Shopfloor Excellence contribute to production optimisation?
Shopfloor excellence integrates best practices into the production process, promotes transparency through digitalisation and enables active continuous improvement. This leads to an optimised use of machines, equipment and employees as well as a reduction in inefficiencies.
What role does the visualisation of key figures play in shop floor management?
The visualisation of key figures is a central component of shop floor management. It enables the actual and target status to be presented transparently, deviations to be recognised quickly and targeted measures for process improvement to be introduced.
How does a control cockpit support production processes?
A control cockpit, such as the X-CC from IGH Infotec AG, complements SAP WM and enables efficient control of the material flow. It distributes tasks to employees in a targeted manner, optimises routes and reduces idle times, thereby increasing efficiency in the warehouse.
What are the advantages of mobile data collection in logistics?
Mobile data capture with SAP enables paperless and controlled processes in logistics. It leads to more precise and timely bookings, reduces inventory differences and completely digitalises logistics.
