Understanding processes & optimizing workflows – with Big Pictures
The video is AI-generated and shows an example application scenario.
Production and business processes consist of many steps, roles, and dependencies. A big picture makes these processes visible, shows connections in an understandable way, and helps teams work together more efficiently.
This creates clarity in all areas—from manufacturing and logistics to process organization.
Clarity for manufacturing, logistics, and business processes
Production and process landscapes are complex and often difficult to communicate. Big pictures clearly show processes, roles, and interfaces, making connections easy to understand.
This creates a common understanding that increases efficiency, reduces errors, and improves collaboration between production, logistics, planning, and management.
Production processes & value streams
From initial processing to the finished product: Big Pictures visualize manufacturing processes, material flows, and dependencies. This makes bottlenecks, optimization potential, and responsibilities clearly visible.
Reference
KRONE production vision
Bernard Krone is transforming its production from classic batch production to flexible contract manufacturing.
A big picture visualizes this change—from warehouse logistics to production lines to modern working conditions—and makes the new processes clear and tangible for employees and partners.
"The big picture makes our transformation to flexible contract manufacturing easy to understand. Employees and partners can see what's changing more quickly and can actively participate in the change." Thomas Veismann, Managing Director of Production, Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG
Thomas Veismann, Managing Director of Production at Krone Agricultural Machinery, in conversation with Wolf Wienecke, Big Pictury
Supply Chain & Logistics
Supply chains, warehouse processes, and transport routes are often closely interlinked. A big picture makes these processes easy to understand—ideal for planning, coordination, and collaboration across teams.
Reference
Westfalen Weser Network Logistics
Westfalen Weser Netz GmbH wanted to clearly present its diverse logistics and distribution processes—from material flows and warehouse locations to internal interfaces.
The big picture combines all these elements in a clear, understandable presentation and creates a common understanding of how processes are connected and where improvements can be made.
"The big picture gives our new logistics processes structure and clarity. It helps us to get employees on board and create a common understanding." Andre Bauland, Head of Logistics, Westfalen Weser Netz GmbH
Operational excellence (Lean, Kaizen, shop floor)
Lean methods only become effective when everyone understands them. Big pictures explain principles, roles, and processes—and support CIP, shop floor management, and efficiency improvements.
Process landscapes & role models
Many companies have complex process landscapes that are difficult to communicate. A big picture clearly structures these landscapes, shows responsibilities, and facilitates training, audits, and internal communication.
Digitalization & Industry 4.0
Whether automation, IoT, MES systems, or digital workflows: big pictures show how technologies are integrated into production environments—in a way that is understandable for specialist departments, managers, and employees.
Production of the future
What will manufacturing look like tomorrow?
A big picture combines automation, digitalization, energy efficiency, new technologies, and future ways of working into a shared vision of the future. This provides guidance for transformations, investments, and strategic decisions—from the shop floor to senior management.

Big Picture Production 2030
With "Production 2030," we have developed our own big picture that shows what manufacturing could look like in the future: networked, data-driven, flexible, and sustainable.
The image serves as inspiration for companies that want to further develop their production—from automation and material flows to new roles, working methods, and digital technologies.
It illustrates how production processes are changing and what opportunities modern approaches offer.
Relevant examples from practice show how Big Pictures are used in this area of application.
