Performance improvement through the introduction of Lean at a municipal energy supplier

Initial situation

  • A municipal energy and water supply company sought extensive improvements in the area of asset management
  • Previous management structures and increased working from home led to uncertainty and a weakened sense of community
  • There was a lack of transparent key figures for performance measurement and target tracking
  • High workload without systematic management caused stress in the team
  • The aim was to sustainably increase employee satisfaction and at the same time realize measurable improvements in efficiency

Our approach

  • Analyze the initial situation and compare strategies in order to develop clear target images
  • Introduce modern working methods (e.g. lean, kaizen, kata coaching) for systematic improvement
  • Introduce superordinate key figures (North Star metrics) along the E2E processes
  • Establish visual control and regular communication via team boards and performance dialogs
  • Empowering managers at all levels for sustainable change
  • Identify pilot areas, create initial success stories and generate momentum
