Do you also operate production facilities in Eastern Europe or do you maintain important supply chains in this region? Is your company active in the Eastern European supplier industry and is serving other foreign markets? If so, international standards are essential for business organisation and process optimisation. Even though it is important for you as an internationally operating company to respond to the country-specific characteristics in the respective country, it is important to pay attention to consistent cross-border communication, terminology and methodical approach in your company. This is the only way to coordinate and align global value creation processes to achieve your corporate goals in the long term and to master the competition.

Field-tested and proven training offer: in-house and online
Well-qualified employees are indispensable for the success of a company. If they then also "speak the same language" by applying standards in terms of terminology and procedures - and this across national borders - they significantly accelerate the optimisation processes in the company organisation.
For this purpose, REFA International offers you a tried-and-tested training programme on topics such as time management, process optimisation and lean management, both in your home country and in many other countries around the world. With our company-specific in-house seminars or online training courses you upgrade teams across borders to a common level of knowledge, build up professional competences globally and expand knowledge in company-specific topics.
We combine REFA methods with the Lean Management approach
The countries of Eastern Europe are increasingly developing from being an "extended workbench" to being a valued partner in development and innovation. However, they clearly are behind when it comes to digitisation topics or Industry 4.0. The opportunities that an amplified automation provides in terms of better efficiency in production remain underutilised in many cases. But before they can upgrade in terms of technology, structures, procedures and processes within the company must be made transparent, designed according to requirements and optimised in effectiveness and efficiency.
The internationally tried-and-tested REFA-Methods for process analysis and optimisation in combination with the Lean Principle provide the basis for this. The implemented standards enable you to create valuable synergies in work design and operational organisation in Eastern Europe. Renowned companies, such as Siemens, Schaeffler or the Dräxlmaier Group, already rely on the proven REFA expertise. Feel free to join us!
