Optimization of the production

At a global machine and plant manufacturer, the optimization of production using lean production methods was to be piloted in one area. For this purpose, a lean production audit was carried out to analyze productivity, and suggestions for improvement and possible solutions, including an implementation roadmap, were derived.

Objective

Lean Production Audit to analyze productivity in the manufacturing and assembly areas
Derivation of improvement proposals and solution approaches incl. implementation roadmap

Approach

Piloting and application of Lean Production methods in a pilot area
Analysis of value streams, process control, prioritization, etc. for potential assessment
Recommendations for action and prototype of an approach to production control

Results

Recommendations for action and roadmap for improving productivity
Splitting the production flow by time clocking and "virtual lines" for fast runners, special orders and non-critical orders
Improvement of production control via synchronization points

Optimization of the production
