INTRODUCTION
Of standardization
The choice of the right actions follows directly from the Client's needs — it is dictated by the organization's process maturity, the tools and methods used in manufacturing management, and the level of standardization of the areas being optimized.
// IMPLEMENTATION MAP · KPI · 31 DAYS OF THE MONTH
THE SYSTEM WORKS
Each letter is one month — 31 operating days. A green tile means a day without an incident, yellow a warning, red an escalation. Implementing LEAI reduces risk to a handful of days per month — the system runs under control.

// WHAT WE DO
SERVICES
With makeXcellence you will successfully run an audit, implementation and transformation of your factory — from classic Lean Manufacturing to working with the latest AI tools.
01
Training
Lean Manufacturing, TOC, OPEX — programs for production staff and dedicated AI training for managers, engineers and change leaders.
Increase the throughput of your factory using proven methods and tools for analyzing processes and implementing change.
Classic Lean and Operations Excellence tools — they work when implemented by someone who knows when not to use them. Audit → plan → implementation → sustainment.

makeXcellence — the LEAI concept: traditional Lean methods supported by AI algorithms. Collaboration on AI deployments in European factories as an expert with a technology startup building digital products for manufacturing.
// WHAT MATTERS
WORKING PRINCIPLES
Practice before theory
Every method has to pass the shop floor test. Lean is not slides — it's people and processes.
Measurable results
OEE, KPI, cycle times, unit cost. Without numbers there is no conversation about results.
Sustainable change
The best Lean system is the one your team actually uses after you leave.
// SERVICES · OFFERING
WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOUR FACTORY
Audit, deployments, optimization, AI in manufacturing — six areas we work in. Every project starts with a diagnosis and ends with a sustainable result.

DATA IN REAL TIME
What are your process parameters?
Uncover the potential hidden in the process — from raw material, through key operations, to the finished product. Value stream mapping shows where you lose time, material and money — and where you can speed up the flow.
01
BOTTLENECKS
Operations that limit the takt of the entire line — CT vs. target analysis, bottleneck identification using TOC.
02
WASTE
Waiting time, transport, overproduction, scrap — the 7 types of Muda identified in every operation.
03
AI POTENTIAL
Operations worth supporting with predictive analytics, machine vision or LLM — where AI delivers the most value.
// WANT TO SEE THIS IN YOUR FACTORY?
Every project starts with a value stream audit — we show you where you really lose money and how to win it back.
Training designed with practice in mind — Lean Manufacturing and the latest AI tools in the daily work of production staff.
// NEW · WORKSHOP · LEAN × AI
AI WORKSHOP FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES
We teach your people to analyze data from ERP, MES and spreadsheets, and to build their own tools and simple applications — on your data, for your processes. The full programme opens as a presentation.
// WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
AI IN THE DAILY WORK OF YOUR TEAMS
A diagnosis before the training, four modules of hands-on work with your data, and two follow-up sessions after the workshop. We measure success by what stays in your company after we leave.
1 DIAGNOSIS DAY1–2 WORKSHOP DAYS2×2 HOURS OF FOLLOW-UP8–12 PARTICIPANTS
The first conversation costs nothing. We get to know each other, listen to your problem and share an initial opinion. If we're a fit, we move forward together.
