6 COHERENT TOOLS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BUSINESS
Simplimize is comprised of 6 coherent tools to create an overview of your market, simplify your product range and modularize your production. The tools help you to reduce your costs, optimize your business and increase your ability to innovate simultaneously.
When you work with the Simplimize tools, data is transferred from one tool to the next. Consequently, there is significant coherence between the 6 tools and the three areas of focus: market, product range and production.
Simplimize is not a quick fix, it is a new way of working. The idea behind Simplimize is not new in itself, but by combining knowledge in an operational approach with hands-on tools Simplimize acts as the common thread to simplify and optimize your business.
