We work side by side on the shop floor with chemical, cosmetics and cleaning product manufacturers.
Volatile raw material and energy costs, unpredictable demand cycles and tightening regulations are pushing chemical manufacturers to get more yield out of their existing plants.
As Gemba Partner, we address the production system end to end, from equipment effectiveness (OEE) to product changeovers, from maintenance systems to flow between processes and daily shop floor management.
We make losses visible in batch and continuous processes, shorten product changeover times, and put planned and autonomous maintenance systems in place. By turning experienced operators' knowledge into standards we prevent knowledge loss. To sustain quality, we apply methods that bring variation in operations under control.
Before a new investment, the first question: "What percentage of its real capacity is our plant running at?"
The goal is to build an operation that runs safer, more stable and more profitably with fewer resources.
Root causes of unplanned stops were analyzed; preventive maintenance, operator checks and critical equipment standards were restructured. Production continuity and equipment reliability were increased.
Micro-stops, speed losses and setup problems were analyzed on the shop floor. By improving equipment parameters and work standards, additional capacity was created on the existing line.
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.
The product changeover process was analyzed step by step with the SMED approach. Internal and external setup activities were separated, and preparation, adjustment and commissioning operations were standardized.
Downtime, waiting and capacity losses in machining processes were analyzed. Actions on bottleneck equipment achieved higher production capacity from the existing machine park.
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.
