Pitstop-Training
Consistent process optimization in print production is one of the most effective levers for sustainably reducing material consumption, setup times, and overall costs. Analyses show that the greatest savings potential lies directly in the print room – less due to technical deficits than to unclear processes, extended setup times, inconsistent operating sequences, or inefficient material provision. Even minor disruptions to high-priced equipment have a significant impact on profitability, while targeted standardization, clear role allocation, and precise processes enable measurable improvements. Structured analyses such as the Print Production Check, the identification of waste (“muda”) on site, and the subsequent implementation of optimized processes can significantly reduce downtime, lower waste rates, and increase production capacity – often without additional investment in new machines. This results in noticeable savings, a more stable workflow, and greater added value in every production step within a few months.
Pit stop training transfers the successful principle of Formula 1 directly to print production: precise processes, clear roles, and perfect timing lead to drastically shortened setup processes and thus to considerable time and cost savings. As with a pit stop, the training analyzes every single step in the setup process, optimizes the sequence of activities, and defines clear responsibilities within the team. Video and time studies are used to identify inefficient processes, which are then replaced by standardized, parallel work steps. The result: setup times that are often 20 to 50 percent shorter, significantly higher process stability, and a motivated team that works like a perfectly coordinated crew. These optimizations often make expensive machine investments unnecessary or postpone them for years—because maximum performance is achieved not only through technology, but also through a precisely coordinated team.
Process optimizing
The printing room houses the most expensive machines in a packaging plant. Due to their significantly higher hourly rate, waste in the process has a particularly strong impact on costs.
Our 4 steps to make your business more successful?
We help you get more out of your machinery. No matter how old your machines are.
We pay attention to your material costs, personnel deployment, and, in particular, setup and production times.
Step 1: Print production check
Step 4: KPIs and controlling
Only with a high level of practical expertise can production processes and setup procedures be analyzed, evaluated, restructured, alternative manufacturing methods proposed, and ideas for optimization developed.
We present these to you and you decide what we and your team will implement. You are always in control of the costs, implementation, and results.
Based on this, we create an implementation plan with precise responsibilities, time and cost planning, and initial KPIs.
It is important not to fall back into old habits. For this reason, control or audit dates can be set to review the KPIs agreed in the implementation plan. Transfer of new or changed processes to the company's QM manual.
Step 2: Analysis and evaluation
Step 3: Decision and implementation
Trust in over 40 years of expertise in machinery, application, and process engineering.
The Print Production Online Test - for an initial assessment, completely free of charge
The Print Production Check Online is a structured online assessment that does not require confidential performance or machine data, but is instead based on personal impressions and characteristic print production processes. The aim is to identify potential for optimization in processes, workflows, and organization, thereby revealing opportunities for higher productivity, better quality, and lower costs. The evaluation provides a snapshot of the individual production situation and helps to identify those areas that have the greatest impact on efficiency and business success.
