Kernfarm Business Case

“The schedule is shifting. Tasks are piling up. The pressure is mounting. And deep down, you know that if you don’t act now, you’ll lose control over quality.” That’s exactly where Diederik Scheepstra, Managing Director at Kernfarm, found himself three months ago. A sudden absence within the QA team put everything on edge. “Waiting? That basically means you’re already too late,” he says. “I don’t want to keep applying Band-Aids or constantly putting out fires. I’m looking for stability. Someone who can hit the ground running from day one and strengthen the GMP process. Without endless procedures or room for ‘maybe.’ I’m looking for decisiveness.”

An Extension of the Team

That’s when he got in touch with Katja Ludwig from Yxion. “What struck me right away? She asks the right questions. This isn’t some automated intake process. Or just going through resumes buried in a drawer. Katja focuses on the root of the problem. What can we get started on right away? What does my team need? Where are the bottlenecks?”

A week later, Inge Sloot steps onto the floor. Not as an external consultant with a checklist under her arm, but as an extension of the team. And you can feel it right away.

“Inge is on the same page. She understands Kernfarm’s DNA. She doesn’t just tell us from the outside what needs to change—she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work with the whole team. This is exactly what I need.”

 

Stability

What begins as temporary support grows into a complete turnaround. Within six months, all quality processes have been redesigned. The workload has been reduced to normal levels. And the quality management system has been updated. All while the entire team has been integrated into the new structure.

“Inge’s successor is now a permanent employee,” says Diederik. “A logical step toward long-term stability. What she put in place is still in place.”

“And if the pressure ever builds up again? I don’t have to think twice. I’ll just call Katja. That gives me peace of mind.”


Working Together Toward Tangible Results

Innovating Together

We help clients innovate by proposing new ideas and improving processes, equipment, environments, and services. Our consultants possess a wealth of knowledge. Together, we have a suitable answer for every question, no matter how complex.

Sharing knowledge

During the Yxion Academy and Professional Groups, colleagues come together to exchange knowledge and experiences and discuss current developments. To work together on client questions and to identify which training programs align with their own needs and those of the clients. In short: to learn from and with one another.

Part of a close-knit team

In addition to working hard, we also have fun, of course. We love organizing outings for the entire organization. Activities such as: cycling tours, a trip to Winter Efteling, Euro Cup pool tournaments, dinners, and barbecues. These are moments to relax and catch up with colleagues!
