We work side by side on the shop floor with manufacturers of metal, electrical-electronics, building and consumer products.
Rising variant counts, fluctuating demand, fragile supply chains and shrinking margins are forcing manufacturers to produce more variety with fewer resources.
As Gemba Partner, we address the production system end to end, from product and process flow to line balancing, from equipment capacity to the supply chain and daily shop floor management.
We make the value stream visible, eliminate bottlenecks, reduce setup and waiting times, and redesign layout and material flow. With standard work and performance management systems we make the gains stick on the shop floor.
The goal is to build an operation that can produce on time and at a competitive cost, no matter which way demand shifts.
Workforce, capacity, shifts and production losses were addressed together. Reducing operating costs and improving resource utilization translated directly into financial results.
Downtime, speed and capacity losses in the paint shop process were analyzed. By eliminating bottlenecks and improving working standards, output from existing equipment was doubled.
Station loads and operator movements were analyzed. The production rhythm of the line was balanced by redesigning bottleneck operations and applying standard work.
The production flow was redesigned with line balancing, bottleneck analysis and standard work activities. With the same resources, daily output was increased from 500 to 860 units.
Bottlenecks, micro-stops and speed losses on the production line were analyzed. By improving process parameters and working standards, the capacity of the existing line was increased without investing in new equipment.
From Operational Excellence and Lean Transformation to digital shop floor management, from factory layout to capacity development, we address your production system end to end.
