Lean Management consulting for efficient, stable processes
Lean Management is effective when it is not understood as a collection of methods, but as a consistent approach to improving value creation.
Corevento helps companies to implement classic Lean principles in a structured and pragmatic way – with the aim of stabilizing processes, reducing waste and sustainably increasing performance.
The focus is not on introducing as many tools as possible, but on their targeted application where they actually have an effect.
Why Lean Management?
Many companies are dedicated, but not always efficient. Processes have evolved organically over time, responsibilities are unclear, and improvement initiatives get bogged down in day-to-day operations. Lean approaches often already exist – but they remain sporadic or fail to produce a lasting impact.
Lean Management brings clarity to this. It helps to make value creation visible, eliminate unnecessary activities, and design stable and controllable processes. Crucially, it's not the theory that matters, but its consistent implementation in everyday practice.
Our understanding of Lean Management
For Corevento, Lean Management means systematically improving value creation. Customer benefits, stable processes, and transparent management are central to this approach.
We take a holistic view of processes: from order entry to service delivery. We analyze lead times, interfaces, inventory levels, and deviations – and derive concrete improvement approaches from this analysis. We involve management and organizational structures where they support and ensure implementation.
For us, Lean is not an end in itself, but an effective means of improving performance, quality and stability.
Our services in Lean Management
Lean Analysis & Assessment
We begin by creating transparency. We analyze the existing value chain, identify bottlenecks and waste, and evaluate the performance of key processes.
The result is a clear assessment of the current situation with prioritized areas for action – as a sound basis for all further steps.
Process optimization & continuous improvement
Based on the analysis, we optimize processes specifically where the greatest potential for improvement lies. This involves reducing waste, stabilizing workflows, and simplifying interfaces.
We understand continuous improvement (CIP) not as an isolated program, but as an integral part of everyday work. Structures and routines are designed in such a way that improvements can be implemented and further developed sustainably.
Shopfloor Management
Effective shop floor management creates transparency, orientation, and rapid responsiveness.
We support the development or further development of shop floor routines, define suitable key performance indicators (KPIs), and clarify roles and responsibilities.
The focus is on deviations and their causes – not on mere reporting. This way, problems are addressed where they arise.
Operational Excellence
Lean Management is a key component of Operational Excellence.
We combine Lean principles with quality and performance targets and create a clear control logic across all departments. The goal is an organization that operates stably, detects deviations early, and continuously improves.
Lean Management and Leadership
Lean only has a lasting effect if management provides guidance and demands implementation.
That is why we provide targeted support to managers in their role in the lean context: in prioritization, decision-making, and establishing new routines in everyday life.
This is not about cultural programs, but about concrete support in implementation—pragmatic and effective.
What companies gain through Lean Management
A consistent lean approach gives companies greater clarity and controllability. Typical effects include shorter throughput times, lower inventories, more stable processes, and greater transparency regarding performance and deviations.
Lean thus creates the basis for sustainable efficiency and reliable results.
Lean Management as a basis for audit and ISO safety
Audits reveal how stable and controlled processes actually are.
Lean management plays a key role in simplifying processes, clarifying responsibilities, and identifying deviations at an early stage.
Companies that consistently implement lean management do not view audits as a burden, but rather as confirmation of effective value creation and efficient control. Processes are transparent, key figures are traceable, and improvements are systematically anchored.
Lean thus creates a robust foundation for auditability, standard compliance, and continuous improvement—especially in conjunction with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or integrated management systems.
Literature, models & scientific foundations
Our understanding of lean management is based on established models, tried-and-tested methods, and sound scientific research. These form the framework for our structured, benefit-oriented approach—without dogmatically applying individual tools.
