Case Study: SCHLENK improves R&D project performance with Kanbanize

SCHLENK reduces cycle time and speeds up project delivery with Kanbanize

SCHLENK, an internationally successful chemical company and manufacturer of metal powders, pigments, and foils, sought to improve cross-team coordination, increase project transparency, and unlock optimization potentials in its R&D projects. To address this challenge, they partnered with Kanbanize and implemented its Businessmap software platform to visualize workflows and manage work using the Kanban method.

The solution involved using Kanbanize's platform to visualize end-to-end project flow and introduce a Flight-Level structure, which connected work across different departments. This improved cross-team collaboration, created a smoother flow of information, and significantly reduced waiting times between process steps. As a result, SCHLENK achieved a reduced cycle time, increased throughput, and an overall improvement in project performance.
