Dutch manufacturing site experiences poor delivery reliability and lead time performance despite its 4 weeks of FG inventory. Some experience with Lean, but site needs to step up its efforts.

Create a breakthrough on two pilot lines (for the T12 and T16 machines), with a focus on the aspect of “flow”.

creation of several working groups, analysis of the current state, development and implementation of the target state (lay-out, line-feeding/keeping, parts supermarkets, JIT, shipment TPAs, Master Production Scheduling (MPS), work standards).

Breakthrough results on two model lines. Increased productivity in assembly, reduction of excess FG inventory, improvement of delivery reliability, reduction of lead-times.
