Removing strategic and process barriers and constraints.
We start with a consultation, a conversation in which we name the problem. In the second step we tailor one or more modules. There is no single package that suits everyone.
Six modules. We tailor and combine them to solve your problem.
Every service goes through the same process: consultation, audit, solution design, implementation in real production conditions, verification. What differs is the scope and the lead partner. The four letters in our name are the four competences the modules come from.
Business models.
As an advisory partner we do not offer ready-made templates. We design business models fitted to the real conditions of your organisation, combining years of experience from several fields with the potential of AI and new technologies. Synthesising knowledge from many market segments lets us implement strategies that are proven and innovative at the same time.
In mature markets, relying solely on a standard offer and familiar patterns leads to inevitable margin erosion. Racing international competitors on price is a dead end. Lasting growth requires redefining the business model - moving from a purely transactional to an advisory approach, creating high value-added solutions and optimising operations without compromise.
We can support you comprehensively in this transformation, and in particular:
-
01
Build or update your business model.
-
02
Adjust your value proposition to differentiate or contain rising costs.
Strategic marketing and sales.
Effective marketing and sales drive market expansion. We provide strategic support, translating business goals into a measurable action plan.
We create a personalised roadmap based on your KPIs, goals and brand identity. We raise your team's competences and give them the tools to execute the strategy effectively, drawing on modern technologies. Every element will be consistent with every part of the company and grounded in your organisation's brand.
Research and development.
In industry, a given manufacturing process or the joining of metals itself is far more than a single production step. It is a fundamental variable that determines the integrity of the whole process and the end product, the scalability of production and the development budget.
EBMT Consulting builds process optimisation in at the source, at the initial stage of R&D work. This lets us shorten the time to bring new technologies and innovations to market and minimise research costs. The end result of our consulting and advisory work can be:
-
01
Fewer trial-and-error loops and fewer tests.
-
02
Design with the whole production process in mind.
-
03
A significant reduction in the capital intensity of testing and in material losses.
-
04
Lower additional costs of post-production rework.
Technical support.
We help you achieve better results, maximise production output and optimise the manufacturing cost per part, using fewer resources.
Maximising the value of your existing people and production assets is often a very good solution. Access to skilled workers and capital remains limited, while production costs keep rising. This is a common challenge in today's business environment. Constantly increasing headcount or buying entirely new robotic stations is not always possible.
Most manufacturers can significantly raise productivity and cut costs without major capital outlay through continuous modernisation of welding processes and a strategic approach.
-
01
IWE supervision.
-
02
Welding engineering and metallurgy. Technological guidelines.
-
03
Process optimisation. Total welding cost calculation. Calculating process effectiveness and productivity:
- Manual welding: MMA covered electrode or TIG versus semi-automatic MIG and MAG, MCAW and FCAW.
- MCAW and FCAW versus MAG welding.
- Submerged arc welding (SAW).
- Robotic versus semi-automatic welding: productivity, quality and return on investment.
-
04
Accelerated ISO/ASME qualifications.
-
05
Production stabilisation. Problem solving.
-
06
Quality improvement programmes. Reduction of non-conformities.
Technical training.
Delivering the production plan need not be blocked by downtime for conformity assessment or repairs. We implement a streamlined, parallel approach to welder training and procedure development that fully meets the relevant standards without disrupting line continuity or output.
Introducing automation often meets natural resistance within the team. That is why we introduce the change in stages, starting with the most adaptable operators, to turn them into internal ambassadors of the new solution.
Once a robot or cobot effectively takes over repetitive, tedious or ergonomically demanding tasks, these leaders show the rest of the team the tangible benefit in practice. The perception of the workforce shifts in a crucial way: from the fear that 'the robot is replacing us' to the awareness that 'the robot takes the physical strain off us, and we become process leaders and operators'.
Mentoring.
EBMT Consulting turns specialists into leaders. Mentoring is a professional relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps a partner grow through the process, supporting their professional and often also personal development.
A mentoring programme is a structured, contract-based business process designed to accelerate technical knowledge transfer and personal development. To take employees from carrying out operational tasks to strategic, independent problem solving in defined areas, the process uses a tailored framework.
A mentoring programme has a structure and defined methods and goals; it is more than 'I will show you how it is done, now do it yourself'.
Goal
We define a strict, measurable goal (improving the quality level or modernising a process). We sign a mentoring contract.
Reality
We establish the actual state and document a precise baseline and current constraints, without blame. We simply describe reality as the starting point.
Options (alternatives)
We generate process solutions and growth options instead of waiting for management to hand down a ready answer.
Will (execution)
We build commitments, a schedule, an action plan and a system for measuring progress that ensure accountability.
Whatever the module, we work the same way
Every stage ends with your decision: we continue or we close the project. No obligation at the consultation stage.
Consultation.
A free online consultation. No lengthy studies: together we define the problem to solve, that is the operational, technical or strategic constraints.
Audit.
We measure the actual state in operating conditions: process flow, cycle time, efficiency, costs. Without interrupting production.
Solution design.
A tailored operating strategy. Upgrades and new solutions translated into measurable business results.
Implementation.
We do not write a report that ends up in a drawer. We implement the solution in real production conditions, solve problems as they arise, train and mentor.
Verification.
A final results audit confirms the planned return. Your team maintains the optimised processes on its own.
Have you identified a barrier in your process or a quality problem? Let us work out the solution together.
45 minutes, no obligation.
You get a clear answer and a proposal of solutions.
We confirm the slot by e-mail.
