Sustainable Production Optimization in 4 Steps

01

Analysis

Since 2000, Klaus Fischer has streamlined and operationalized the St. Galler Model of strategic corporate management specifically for SMEs and manufacturing industries. The goal is to map complex corporate structures in a practical and needs-oriented way.

The focus is on incremental improvements and fine-tuning operational performance — specifically productivity growth, quality improvement, cost reduction, and increased customer satisfaction.

As part of a structured company check, we analyze:

  • operational workflows and manufacturing processes
  • OEE of individual machines or whole lines
  • work preparation and interfaces
  • infrastructure, logistics, and purchasing

Customers receive transparent results, concrete recommendations based on the current situation, and clearly prioritized actions — risk-free, implementation-oriented, and sustainably effective.

Strategy

Onebase stands for clear and sustainable processes. Processes must be understood and lived by all employees involved. We see processes not as mere compliance or lists of tasks but as descriptions of clear, effective workflows with defined characteristics — efficient and practical.

We analyze existing processes and design them according to the principle “as much as necessary, as little as possible.” The result is sustainable improvement, pragmatically implemented and tailored to our clients’ specific circumstances.

03

Implementation

As experienced interim managers, we close critical vacancies inside your organization. We take on on-site operational responsibility for implementing all measures related to production optimization and process control — working with and in your team.

We embrace leadership and responsibility.

Securing Results

We stay onboard until full production stabilization is complete. Through seamless knowledge transfer, we ensure long-term improvements so that your team can maintain the enhanced productivity independently.

The goal is corporate stabilization, reliable handling of ongoing customer projects, and restoration of delivery capability.

In insolvency scenarios, you can focus on continuation strategies and financial improvement measures while we handle operational execution and control.

Since 2016, Onebase has gained experience in insolvency situations involving OEM suppliers, starting with a steel casting supplier in the Rhône-Alpes region of France. Regardless of national differences in insolvency law, the operational measures and communication are comparable.

Upon request, we not only provide operational support during this phase, but also take care of the challenging task of communicating with customers and suppliers—in a structured, reliable, and goal-oriented manner.

Automotive Expertise Since 2000

Today, we combine this technical DNA with decades of experience in corporate stabilization using the St. Galler Model. We support manufacturing companies by closing vacancies, securing processes, and sustainably improving productivity.

ONEBASE – Operational Excellence for OEMs and Their Supply Chains

Expert & Interim Manager

For over 20 years, Onebase has provided operational consulting and hands-on implementation in the automotive industry. Our roots go back to 2000 when we worked with semantic technologies, IT networking, and complex system landscapes — capabilities that still define our analytical approach.

An early focus was on implementing OEM-related technology and trade fair concepts. Onebase organized international automotive trade fairs, tech shows, and individual vehicle exhibits for brands such as Sachs, VDO, and later Siemens VDO. In collaboration with trade fair constructors and OEM organizations, tailor-made solutions were implemented worldwide for almost all major vehicle manufacturers.

With increasing consolidation in the automotive sector, Onebase consistently shifted its focus from trade fair and presentation formats to operational support along the OEM supply chain.

Today, Onebase helps OEMs and Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers with:

  • quality improvement and production stabilization
  • process optimization along the value chain
  • bottleneck, task force, escalation management
  • restructuring and turnaround situations

We work operatively on site, take on interim roles at T1/T2 management level and confidently implement task force, bottleneck and escalation issues.

Operational Execution

We work on-site, take on interim roles at Tier-1/Tier-2 management levels, and lead task force and escalation issues to reliable implementation.
