Transition from a project-based to a product-based organisation in software development
Transformation of a development division for embedded software solutions from a project-based organisation (where each team works largely in isolation on ‘their own customer solutions’) to a product-based organisation (where ‘one product for the world’ is defined, implemented and tested, and only individual configurations are carried out for customers).
Mit dieser Änderung stieg die Produktivität, definiert als bezahlte Kundenleistungen pro Arbeitstag, von 12.000,- EUR auf 18.000,- EUR ohne eine Erhöhung der Mitarbeiterkapazitäten.
Reducing red tape in the process landscape in automotive development
‘Debureaucratisation’ of a certification-oriented process landscape within an automotive development division and its evolution towards a flexible quality and process management system.
As a result, the ‘bureaucracy measurements index’ – defined as the ratio of the number of documents required by the process to the number of documents actually used – rose from 0.2 to 0.8.
Development of a self-service system for sustainability credits
Design of a self-service system for a start-up that trades in sustainability credits for the disposal of plastic, with the aim of increasing transparency regarding the use of the credits and alleviating the strain on the non-profit organisation’s scarce resources.
The self-service system was prototyped using Figma and serves as a basis for gathering user feedback and implementing it.
Streamlining project management
at a mechanical engineering firm
Bei einem mittelständischen Maschinenbauunternehmen wurde der Project Management Waste Index (PMWI) organisationsweit erhoben. Damit wurden die wichtigsten Verschwendungsursachen identifiziert und in einem Root-Cause-Workshop analysiert. Auf dieser Basis wurden mithilfe von Waste Poker in einem weiteren Schritt die Möglichkeiten der Verbesserung erarbeitet und priorisiert.
Im Ergebnis entstand ein konkreter Maßnahmenplan, in dem u.a. das Projektportfoliomanagement des Unternehmens nach Lean PPM-Elementen ausgerichtet wurde.
Maturity Assessment for Lean-Adaptive Project Portfolio Management
Bei der Fluggesellschaft wurde auf Basis des LAUP2-Referenzmodells der Reifegrad des bestehenden Projektportfoliomanagements hinsichtlich der Umsetzung von Lean-Adaptive PPM systematisch ermittelt. Das Assessment umfasste die drei Dimensionen Prozesse, Rollen und Prinzipien und diente der Identifikation von Stärken, Schwächen und konkreten Handlungsbedarfen.
The findings formed the basis for the targeted further development of the PPM and the PMO. Specific improvement measures were initiated, including in the area of benefits management.
Design and implementation of business process management at a non-profit organisation
A plan was drawn up and implemented for the establishment of a systematic business process management system at a major German foundation. The focus was on analysing requirements, developing a functional concept, and selecting and implementing a suitable IT tool for business process management (BPM).
The aim was to establish a BPM on a permanent basis as the foundation for the transparent documentation, systematic analysis and continuous improvement of business processes.
