Introduction:
A company specialising in the manufacture and installation of noise control systems across the world, recognised a need to improve manufacturing productivity and become more agile in its ability to meet changing market requirements.
What We Did:
- worked with the client to establish and implement a manufacturing improvement plan covering 3 factory units
- introduced new automation, production planning and quality systems to support the improvement plan
- introduced improved management practices
- coached and mentored factory management and team leaders to be able to effectively implement the changes required
Results:
There have been vast improvements in planning, visibility, stock control, communication and product quality. In one factory over a 2-year period, production increased 15% with a 36% reduction in labour input.
