In the defense industry we work side by side on the shop floor with prime contractors and critical suppliers.
Growing orders and shorter delivery expectations in the defense industry require not only producing more; planning capacity correctly, strengthening the supply chain and speeding up production flow
As Gemba Partner, we address the production system end to end, from bottlenecks to factory layout, from line balancing to equipment capacity, from supplier development to daily shop floor management.
With our expertise from the shop floor we reveal the real capacity of existing resources, reduce losses and design more agile, more controlled operations that can meet growing production targets.
By cancelling bench-based station batch production and moving to an assembly structure with continuous flow, production capacity increased by 60%.
Critical part supply was synchronized with assembly flow through planning and visual management; waiting and intermediate stock losses were reduced and orders were delivered on time.
Downtime, waiting and capacity losses in machining processes were analyzed. Actions on bottleneck equipment achieved higher production capacity from the existing machine park.
Root causes of unplanned stops were analyzed; preventive maintenance, operator checks and critical equipment standards were restructured. Production continuity and equipment reliability were increased.
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.
Station loads and operator movements were analyzed. The production rhythm of the line was balanced by redesigning bottleneck operations and applying standard work.
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.
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.
