Automotive Stamping Uptime

Transformed maintenance shop quality and culture

Situation:
A high-speed automotive stamping maintenance shop lacked direction, metrics, and standardized processes, resulting in massive downtime on its production equipment.

Actions:

  • Installed on the shop floor a DM Visual Management Board highlighting KPI targets and results for the week by day, as well as historic trend information for the past week and 4-week periods

Results: Enhanced Die Maintenance shop quality, culture, and morale. Replaced quick-fix practices with strategic, root-cause analysis and resolution of repetitive failures.
