The assignments presented here were completed before Direction Dynamics was founded, but they form the experience base that has shaped our way of working today. Each example shows how we, in different roles and contexts, have contributed to strengthening operations, streamlining processes and creating lasting results.
Control and Cost
The assignment focused on developing a more reliable and coherent management and production system. The acquired plant lacked the structure needed to support stable operations, which resulted in low productivity and high operating costs. The work centred on establishing consistent routines, strengthening operational control and introducing clear accountability throughout daily activities.
The project covered internal logistics, material handling, assembly and packing.
Result
Productivity increased by 50 percent
Throughput time reduced by 92 percent
Material handling reduced by 25 percent

Direction and Consequence
The purpose of the assignment was to strengthen the company’s management system by clarifying strategic direction, improving process discipline and reinforcing leadership capability. The administrative and production sides of the business were not aligned, which led to variation in performance and inefficient use of resources. The focus was to create a common structure and establish cross-functional continuous improvement.
The project covered process optimisation, leadership development and the introduction of structured routines for continuous improvement.
Result
Variation in production reduced
A structured problem-solving methodology implemented
Cost-saving plan of 19 MSEK prepared
Stability and Delivery
The assignment aimed to stabilise production in order to improve productivity, reduce operating cost and strengthen delivery performance. The company needed a more robust internal structure and predictable flow to achieve operational stability. The work concentrated on establishing clear routines and improving coordination across the production chain.
The project covered manufacturing, shipping, maintenance, balancing, planning and leadership.
Result
OTIF improved from 80 to 97 percent
Rework reduced by 50 percent
Annual savings 9,6 MSEK

Productivity and Utilization
The assignment focused on stabilising production and increasing both productivity and asset utilisation. The client needed to extract more capacity from existing equipment and personnel while improving performance follow-up. The work centred on creating more stable flows and clearer ownership in daily operations.
The project covered manufacturing, maintenance, material handling, planning and leadership.
Result
Productivity increased by 30 percent
Potential additional productivity increase of 35 percent
Annual savings 24 MSEK
Capacity by Culture
The assignment targeted higher productivity, realisation of unused efficiency within warehousing and logistics and establishing a culture that supports new ways of working. The company needed to increase capacity and improve efficiency to keep costs under control. The work focused on stabilising processes and adjusting the organisation to match operational needs.
The project covered cultural development, TPM, planning and organisational restructuring of warehouse and logistics operations.
Result
Increased capacity and 15 percent higher productivity
Annual savings 11 MSEK
