Consulting and training for Western Europe


Western Europe

Despite the current political and economic troubles that are affecting large parts of Europe, Western Europe continues to enjoy great popularity as a business location. Especially for many European companies, the home market of "Europe" will once again become a stronger focus, including as a production location. Many southern European countries benefit from the relocation dynamics, regionalisation of supply chains and cost reduction.

Do you produce in Western Europe and maintain important supply chains in this region? Then you should focus on international standards in business organisation and process optimisation. Even though it is important for you as an internationally operating company to take into account country-specific characteristics, you should not underestimate the advantages of consistent communication, terminology and methodical procedures within your company across national borders. After all, you can only align and coordinate global value creation processes in the long term, if you have norms and communication standards in place. These in turn will benefit you in the achievement of your corporate goals.

Our experienced REFA consultants support you in this process with solution-oriented organisational, time management and production consulting as well as with Lean Management. In these areas, we are one of the most experienced consultancies in Western Europe.

Proven international standards for your business in Western Europe

Although everybody has been talking about Industry 4.0 for several years now, the actual implementation is still in an early stage in many Western European companies. But before they can upgrade in terms of technology, structures, procedures and processes within the company must be made transparent, designed according to requirements and optimised in effectiveness and efficiency. REFA International supports you in this respect with the proven REFA methods for process analysis and optimisation combined with Lean Management tools. This creates the basis for a significant increase in performance and cost minimisation within the scope of this technological development. The implemented standards enable you to create the basis for valuable synergies in work design and operational organisation in Western Europe.
