Lean Production Projects

The result of lean processes implementation is an improvement of material and information flow in the company by elimination of all types of waste with an aim to increase productivity, flexibility, quality and to fulfil requirements of customers and company owners.

Lean production projects always begin by mapping the current processes and needs of the company. For the initial analysis, we use tools such as measuring and scanning of production processes, audit of lean production level or mapping the value flows. We interpret the acquired data to the clients, and we moderate their strategy how to approach the lean production. We prefer the process approach rather than implementation of individual methods and tools of lean production.

We implement the processes of lean production via workshops or projects according to the extent of implementation and complexity of changes. Subsequently, the draw of future state and specific implementation plan is created from these activities. Before the implementation itself there is a preparation for change, both in the area of technological preparation and human preparation for the change.That is one of the critical moments, which defines the success of implementation and sustainability of future state.

Key implementation activities:

Lean layout

basis and precondition of lean processes, it is a prevention from wasting in processes and between processes

Analysis and work measurement

elimination of wasting and setting up an optimal workload

Are you interested in Lean Production?

Productive workplace – 5S

organized workplace eliminating the waste and increasing the work ergonomics

U – cells

workplace based on the principle of one-piece flow, which increase productivity, flexibility and quality of the process

Single Minute Exchange of Dies – SMED

method increasing the flexibility and effectiveness of technologies

Total productive maintenance – TPM

method of machinery and technology maintenance increasing their overall effectiveness (OEE) and changing people’s approaches to machinery maintenance

Low-cost automatization – LCA

use of available and low-cost technical solutions for increasing the productivity and reliability of processes

Digitalization and automatization of processes – I 4.0

methods and new technologies that help to improve the communication and cooperation during production process to reach better effectivity and reliability of processes

Both during the implementation process and after that we secure the standardization and stabilization of changes. During six weeks after implementation we are present by our clients and we lead members of the team to regular check and support of the workers in processes. All problems related to the new situation are promptly solved, monitored and their cause is disposed.

At the end of these activities and projects we evaluate effectiveness of changes so we can evaluate the contributions and appreciation of all participants of the change.
