To achieve cost, schedule and quality goals, industrial manufacturing processes need to be planned in a well structured way, communicated without misconceptions and implemented consistently.

A lot of what determines an economic and fast process boils down to waste reduction. Production line layouts must be fine tuned to reduce idle periods and transport, bottle necks need to match takt time. Design details must be addressed to avoid over-engineering (DfM, GD&T).
On the quality side, to prevent defects and allow for labor force flexibility, work instructions must give a complete and clear description of the process, with supervisors trained correspondingly.

Production issues must be reported, analyzed for root cause and followed up in a well defined process, so improvement of incoming material, design and manufacturing can be controlled and brought forward.

We’re ready to help your supplier set up line layouts, process timing and work instructions to enhance output, quality, reproducibility, waste reduction and efficiency.
