The company had already embarked on a major modernization of production technologies with some kanban cells. There was a need to implement more fully Lean thinking in the company to increase production efficiency and link this to engineering functions and the supply chain. Always with people at the core.<\/p>\n<h5>Challenge and actions<\/h5>\n<p>To increase production efficiency, a program of well targeted 5S interventions in key shopfloor areas was conducted and made continuous. Thanks to this, new physical flows\/layouts, as well as existing Kanban fine-tuning, came into actionable focus. With important interventions regarding the ERP\/MES\/OPS information systems, data collection and transmission points were refined in a 4.0 &ldquo;data factory&rdquo; perspective and linked to operationally relevant performance indicators. Enabling factors for middle management and operators. Helpful instead of imposed control procedures. By conducting well-focused Kaizen-Shopfloor- Workshops, engineering and technical department have been engaged to enhance daily work in the perspective &lsquo;design for assembly, design for cost&rsquo;. New balance between standard\/custom components production and standardized technology modules were proactively established.<\/p>\n<h5>Results<\/h5>\n<p>Better workflows and significant increase of efficiency with motivated workforce. Controlled digitisation with paper reduction. Culture change: establishing the pursuit of excellence as a permanent integrated element in operations. Higher level of readyness for harvesting additional opportunities of the Industry 5.0 model.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Implementing Lean and 5S methodologies
