No long-term commitment. Scale our service to your needs and budget. We adapt, as your requirements evolve.
Continuous improvements can be as small as a barcode and as huge as a fully automated factory. Here are some inspiring examples of small changes with great impact:
A plastic parts producer installed sensors on key machinery to monitor their performance and predict maintenance needs. We discovered that a planned replacement of cooling fans before failure prevents a cascade of machinery issues. The savings in (emergency) repair costs, lost production time and nerves was enormous.
A hotel struggled with tight turnaround times for room cleaning. After introducing a complimentary cup of coffee or tea in the hotel lounge for guests who check out an hour early we were able to spread out housekeeping tasks throughout the morning, reducing stress on staff and allowing rooms to be ready for new arrivals earlier.
A small electronics manufacturer re-evaluated its warehouse layout after noticing inefficiencies in order-picking routes. By reorganising inventory locations and packing stations based on product demand and frequency, we cut down picking times by 50% and allowed more orders per day to be fulfilled.
Operators often have downtime waiting for machines to reset, calibrate or finish their task. We installed screens directly at the machine and introduced a series of 30 - 60 second videos and quizzes into these idle moments. The topics cover occupational health and safety recaps, skill improvement, language training, company news and also entertaining content.
An eyewear manufacturer realised production output was low after lunch. By staggering break times from finish to start we ensured partial line coverage and eliminated bottlenecks as each station had a small stock to immediately start working on after returning from lunch.
At a mobile home manufacturer we discovered that electricians were spending significant time cutting wires to custom lengths during assembly. By pre-cutting and stripping wires to standard lengths at a central station by an auxiliary staff member, they saved hours of labor, improved workflow consistency and speed up overall production time.
