We've streamlined operations in our starting block work cell! Originally, the variability in product styles made the production sequence complex. Our lean leader innovatively mapped the optimal workforce arrangements for each product, leading to the creation of a comprehensive visual workflow. This standard workflow accommodates all product variations, reducing confusion significantly, and makes it simple to follow even for new employees. We also developed flexible plans to adapt to changes, such as absences of key team members like welders. These improvements have greatly enhanced efficiency and clarity in our processes.
