If you also operate production facilities in North America or maintain important supply chains there, consider international standards for your company in terms of organisation and process optimisation. Beside the consideration of country-specific characteristics, a consistent company-wide communication, terminology and methodical approach represent a decisive competitive advantage with which you can coordinate global value-added processes in order to achieve your company goals in the long term. The certified REFA International consultants will support you in this process with goal-oriented organisational, time management and production consulting as well as Lean Management, both on a national and international scale.
International REFA standards for successful business in North America
The North American market is highly attractive for many entrepreneurs. However, it is also highly competitive and, due to its enormous size, more complex than one might initially expect. But criteria such as market size, proximity to customers and market stability are decisive for many foreign companies wanting to invest in North America. The biggest growth can currently be seen in the automotive industry and the transport and logistics sector. Other leading sectors include construction and infrastructure, as well as industrial production. Industrial production in particular benefits from the USA's pioneering role in the area of networked production, i.e. Industry 4.0. But before the technological boost can really take hold, structures, procedures and processes within the company must be made transparent, designed according to requirements and optimised in effectiveness and efficiency. You create the basis for this with the internationally proven REFA-Methods for process analysis and optimisation in terms of Lean Management. The implemented standards enable you to create valuable synergies in North America in work design and operational organisation. Industrial companies such as Siemens, Linde or Schaeffler already benefit from the international REFA standards in their North American business.
