Helped newly combined facility speed delivery
Situation:
A consumer products manufacturer had recently closed a facility and combined it with another, transferring only a few personnel from the old facility to the new. After the move, on-time delivery plummeted to 45%.
Actions:
- Implemented a Loss Map across the combined facility to track variances
- Established standard work routines and cadences for local management and supervision
- Enhanced organizational structure and performance to increase on-time delivery to customers
Results: Achieved 15% improvement in on-time delivery during the 12-week project and established the foundation for continued improvements after its conclusion.
