About Laslo

I support companies in sustainably improving their processes in production, logistics, purchasing, and technical trade. As a pragmatic entrepreneur and Lean Management consultant with over 35 years of experience, I precisely analyze workflows, create transparency, and guide organizations in implementing effective improvements. My focus is on solutions that work in everyday life, involve employees, and deliver measurable results.

I combine technical depth, didactic strength, and a clear hands-on mentality. I present complex topics in a way that teams can understand, apply, and further develop them – whether in workshops, training sessions, or as an interim manager. Companies value my structured approach, quick comprehension, and ability to reliably get projects off the ground.

My added value for your company:
  • Clear analysis and realistic, actionable measures
  • Development of effective KPI and control systems
  • Lean methods that actively involve employees
  • Understandable communication of technical and organizational content
  • Tangible relief for managers through structured project management

Specialized in projects such as:
  • Implementation and optimization of Lean Management systems
  • Process analyses in production, logistics, purchasing, and distribution
  • Development of KPI systems
  • Digitization of workflows and data flows
  • Technical and didactic training
  • Interim management in operational areas
  • Support in quality management and audit preparation

My goal is to empower organizations – not make them dependent. I work solution-oriented, transparently, and always with a view to sustainable impact.
