Lean and Six Sigma Case Studies - Big Savings, Shorter Lead-times and Fewer Errors
Whether the focus is on Breakaway Lean®, Excelerated Six Sigma®, or Unified Lean/Six Sigma®, Omnex's implementation projects typically yield big results and bottom line
savings in as little as three to six months. We work fast and get your staff up
and running right way.
Below are the results of some recent Lean and Six Sigma implementations:
At a Mold equipment tooling manufacturer, we worked on the Order Entry and Sales
Process and reduced "Order to Ship" lead time from 42 days to 7, we reduced the
number of tasks from 109 to 21, and we reduced travel distance from 4000 feet to
180 feet. As a result, revenue increased from $1.3 million per quarter to $4.2 million
with no increase in labor inputs. ( More...)

Omnex began working with a worldwide electronics organization to kick off Excelerated
Six Sigma® in three continents - the USA, Asia, and Europe. We trained the 19 champions
and ran 21 Black Belt projects. With only 5 projects completed, the corporate finance
department reported savings of $13.5 million. ( More...)

At a Maintenance Repair Operations (MRO) Procurement company, we helped streamline
their Procurement Approval Process. Through migration to electronic forms, and by
eliminating duplicate activities, we eliminated the 700 feet of distance traveled,
and we eliminated 63% of the steps required. This resulted in $140,000 of savings
a year with half the number of team members in the MRO office. ( More...)

At a Tier 1 automotive supplier, Omnex worked on eight initial bi-monthly Lean/Kaizen
manufacturing events. As a result the number of checking steps went down by 43%,
overall distance traveled was reduced by 30%, and changeover time was reduced by
46%. This resulted in inventory savings of $138,000 per quarter for raw material
and $168,000 in finished goods. ( More...)

Omnex worked for a large semiconductor company with operations in four continents
and offering 3,000 products. After establishing DMAIC across functions and sites,
and after 11 projects, the company reported more than $10 million in savings with
an expected total savings after 15 projects of $36 million. ( More...)

At a Tier 1 automotive electronics parts manufacturer supplying major automotive
companies worldwide, we worked to make their Engineering Change Notification Process
more efficient. This 5 day Kaizen event resulted in reducing the number of signatures
required for ECN approval by over 50% and reducing the number of checklist tasks
by an average of 40%. “Cost of delay” costs were reduced $72,000 per
project. ( More...)
|
At an Asian components company, we were brought in to Implement Lean Manufacturing
Systems and improve delivery performance. As a result of our work, 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.
