Lean Manufacturing Case Study for Components Company
Technologies:
Forging, casting, machining
Objectives:
Implement Lean Manufacturing Systems and improve delivery performance
As a result of critical customer concerns and customer dissatisfaction, the company
engaged Omnex to develop and implement approaches to lean manufacturing through
the conduct of specific projects intended to level and synchronize flows, reduce
inventories and migrate towards a pull system. Improvements were targeted for rolled
throughput yield, overall equipment effectiveness, dock-to-dock, cycle times and
delivery performance.
Methodologies involved value stream mapping, constraint analysis and relief, single
minute exchange of die (SMED) and quick process changeover; waste, cycle and takt
time analyses resulting in leveling and balancing with enhanced flows.
Evidence of success: Delivery performance improved in three months from 15% "on
time to promised date" to 60% "on time to customer required date". Correlated metrics
showed comparable, sustained improvement.
