Problem Statement: |
Due to increased market demand, our client was forced to rapidly improve the production output at one of their US plants in order to avoid stock-outs and customer complaints. The client's operations executive team had identified the poor material flows at that facility as a main constraint on their path for growth. If the plant would not radically improve their internal material flows, the required production output to meet customer demand would for sure be missed.

Meeting: |
Definition of problem statement and scope
|
||
|
Deep Dive: |
Understand current material flows, bottlenecks and process constraints in detail to reveal optimization potentials and to draft alternative material flow scenarios
|
||
|
Hypothesis: |
Design and implement optimized material flows to drastically reduce required storage capacity, footprint and to significantly improve output performance
