As Gemba Partner, using our shop floor experience in automotive OEMs and suppliers, light and commercial vehicle production and home appliances, we redesign production systems; we build systems that speed up flow, reduce losses and permanently improve operational performance

OUR VIEW OF THE SECTOR

Adapting Quickly to Change, Keeping Up with Dynamism

Technological transformation, changing product variety, shorter lead times and OEM expectations put serious performance pressure especially on Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers.

On the other hand, investments in new machines, new buildings or additional labor to meet demand create serious financial bottlenecks. 

Our focus is not "What should we invest in?" but "How correctly are we using the capacity we already have?" 

We analyze product and material flow on the production floor, make bottlenecks visible and reveal the real capacity of existing resources.

We redesign layout plans and production flows, set up line balancing and standard work systems, optimize inventory levels between processes, reduce setup times and improve equipment OEE performance. By changing not only processes but the company culture from top to bottom, we build a daily management system based on the Kaizen philosophy. 

The goal is not a faster factory, but an operation that is better designed, more visible and better controlled.

PROVEN SUCCESS STORIES

Real Results from Shop-Floor Experience

AUTOMOTIVE · FACTORY CONSOLIDATIONROI 4 Months

70% Space Savings through Layout Design

By redesigning production flow and process layout from scratch, operations were consolidated under one roof. The need for a new building investment was eliminated, while WIP and internal logistics movements were significantly reduced.

WIP−50%
Transfer Movements−85%

AUTOMOTIVE · WIP & PRODUCTION FLOWROI 3 Months

20% Reduction in Work-in-Process Inventory

Inventory points between processes and the production flow were redesigned. With a pull system and a controlled WIP approach, the amount of semi-finished goods between processes was reduced, creating a faster and more visible production flow.

WIP−20%
Production Lead Time−15%

AUTOMOTIVE · PLASTIC INJECTIONROI 2 Months

OEE Increased by 20% in a Plastic Injection Process

Mold changeovers, unplanned stops, cycle losses and quality problems were analyzed together. SMED and process improvements increased the usable production time gained from the equipment.

OEE+20%
Mold Changeover Time−35%

HOME APPLIANCES · FACTORY LAYOUTROI 1 Month

60% Less Space with a New Factory Layout

Product and material flows were redesigned; processes were brought closer together, reducing unnecessary transport, intermediate stock and space use. The same production capacity was moved into a much more compact layout.

Space Savings+60%
Transport Distance−45%

ASSEMBLY · LINE BALANCINGROI 2 Months

35% Improvement in Cycle Time through Line Balancing

Station loads and operator movements were analyzed. The production rhythm of the line was balanced by redesigning bottleneck operations and applying standard work.

Cycle Time−35%
Additional Capacity+8 Days/Month
