The Background
Providing specialist support for a construction supply chain manufacturer who aimed for waste minimisation and to enhance their quality performance.
The Challenge
A construction manufacturer was experiencing a high level of process waste due to inconsistent manufacturing processes and delayed decision-making.
There was no formal review process during the manufacturing shift to check quality performance; therefore, reaction times were delayed.
The Solution
Implemented Short Interval Control, which identified and actioned process waste and quality concerns.
Once the opportunities for improvement and waste minimisation were identified, the next step was to coach the teams to take responsibility and ownership for their individual areas.
The Benefits
Data Capture & Analysis - Captured key data from the manufacturing process and identified opportunities for improvement. This enabled us to allocate actions to specific owners
Process Implementation - Introduced a formal performance review system to drive improvements in the manufacturing process
Coaching - Setting and sharing what good looks like, and how to achieve it. Coaching individuals & teams for high performance
