Case Study: AFS Entwicklungs- und Vertriebs GmbH achieves better process efficiency with Tebis Consulting

AFS Entwicklungs- und Vertriebs - Customer Case Study

The German machine manufacturer AFS Entwicklungs- und Vertriebs GmbH faced challenges with inefficient internal processes, including a poor information flow between departments like Sales, Design, and Manufacturing. This led to frequent interruptions, queries, and costly errors, which pressured their ability to maintain high-quality standards amid market price pressures. To address this, AFS partnered with vendor Tebis and utilized Tebis Consulting to analyze and optimize their workflows.

Tebis implemented specific corrective measures to improve information flow and automate order processes, including better utilization of the ERP system and standardizing design documentation. The solution resulted in a significantly more efficient operation; Manufacturing and Assembly now have all necessary information with fewer clarification requests, and orders are processed automatically and on schedule. The measurable impact included quantified reductions in time lost and costs associated with incorrect assembly and modifications, leading AFS to view process optimization as an ongoing part of their quality management.
