Berti Consulting
Every company is sitting on a gold mine.
Yes, but how do we collect the gold?
It takes someone to take care of it “full-time”.
I can do it!
My services
Every company needs external help sometimes. I can help in the short term without losing sight of medium and long-term goals.
Manufacturing Engineering (ME)
Do you know that? Your automotive OEMs take a lot of time selecting the supplier for a component or an entire group of components. They are nominated with the order far too late and immediately all the following activities are too late and in crisis mode! Customers demand a complete team that is immediately available and virtually always available.

Interim Management
Unfortunately, this has happened to me many times. Everyone knows this: an important manager is unavailable. An illness, a termination or even a necessary leave of absence. Every missing leader leaves a gap. Even if you are released from work, an adequate successor is not possible immediately. But surely that should be better planned? Correct. Should!

Lean Management
You have probably heard of the “Toyota Production System”. The production system that has been practiced and continually refined for decades and that eliminates all waste. I have been deeply rooted in the Toyota Production System since 2000 and have applied it countless times in industry. I can support you with the introduction.
