Our profile


Who we are

We are convinced that sustainable success is based on operational excellence in all areas of the company. Clear strategies are the foundation, but only their consistent and precise implementation creates measurable value.

Lean Group was founded by us, Christoph Schaller and Theo Herzog, in order to live up to this claim. Our analytical and methodological expertise is based on many years of management experience in industry and consulting, including at Porsche Consulting.

As a partner-led consultancy, we guarantee you maximum seniority in every project. We don't work for you, but with you and your teams as equals. We combine in-depth, data-based analysis with pragmatic solution approaches, which we accompany through to successful implementation.

Our holistic approach views your company as an overall system. We increase efficiency in the operational core processes (Operations & Supply Chain), optimize the time-to-market in the development areas (R&D) and leverage potential in the administrative structures (Overhead).

Our aim is to sustainably improve your profitability and competitiveness. Contact us to discuss your challenges in a confidential meeting.
