About
KONA Operational Excellence
If you want to get ahead, you can sprint like crazy. But how long can you keep that up? Besides, when you can’t go anymore, even the smallest steps feel like heavy tasks. Balanced progress is not just about speed. It’s about the right foundation: fitness, technique and mentality. A triathlete swims 3.8 kilometres, then cycles another 180 and finally runs a full marathon. Preferably as fast as possible, but never at full speed. Moving forward in your operational processes – according to principles of continuous improvement – works just like a triathlon.
Why? We at KONA Operational Excellence are happy to explain that to you.
Services
We love & know what we do
Change implementation
We help our clients to successfully deal with the inevitable uncertainty and variability in their operation. Given these uncertainties and variabilities, we transform their operations into an operation that is stable, adds value and has an increased performance. Continuous improvement is second nature for everybody, everyday.
From design and analysis to implementation and control . Together with you and your teams we use continuous improvement philosophy and methodologies (e.g. Lean, TOC, CCPM, QRM, etc.) to optimize processes and goods flows and implement the improvements that your business needs to better serve your customers and improve your returns.
By applying the latest smart techniques in process design we will guide you and your business to an innovative and future proof operation. Together we will make sure that your organization is adaptable to changing market demands and to keep it on course for further growth.
Consulting
Reaching your business goals, your people and processes require a clear long term vision and strategy. We help co-develop your vision and strategy and support the deployment at both tactical and operational level.
We make sure the strategy and its associated initiatives and programs are successfully executed and monitored by you and your team. We do this with a clear eye on the necessary instruments, communication and infrastructure.
Competency building
Hand-in-hand, shoulder-by-shoulder we work with our clients to face their challenges, develop and implement improved processes and finally achieve sustainable and improved performance. No long training classes, but equipped with an actual operational issue, we will guide and coach on the work floor with the people. We strongly believe in short learning cycles and learning-by-doing. We will only leave you and your teams once you will have the competency to autonomously further improve your daily operations.
