Results:
Together with the team, the entire product range was reviewed and partly adapted. Complexity was reduced and processes optimised, while maintaining or improving quality. A production plan was drawn up, staff training was carried out, quality features were introduced, and capacity was ensured in line with demand. The whole team was very motivated to put these adjustments into practice. A lunch was organised for the press, social media and regular guests. The feedback was very positive and the whole team was very proud.
