Empowering Continuous Improvement: The ADIS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP Approach Across the whole AAG, fostering a culture of continuous improvement is key to maintaining excellence in the high-demand world of #auto and #plastic #manufacturing. By equipping teams, from finance to finishing, with robust problem-solving skills, it ensures that every member has the capability and motivation to address process inefficiencies. This approach is not limited to major projects but extends to everyday workflow issues, ensuring sustainable and impactful improvements. A report by McKinsey highlights that companies embracing continuous improvement see up to a 20% increase in productivity. Commitment to this philosophy not only boosts efficiency and reduces defects but also enhances safety performance - crucial for companies producing millions of parts annually. AAG has gone further still, implementing these strategies to such an extent that they lead the field in #injectionmolding, setting benchmarks in quality and operational excellence. Co-owner of the group, Jeremy Svoboda, wraps it up nicely when he says: “Management can implement the best practices, set the strategy and outline the procedures, but it's the team on the ground who ultimately deliver. By empowering them to contribute at each step, we’ve taken the core of a modern factory and transformed it into a powerhouse of excellence”.

Manufacturing Excellence goes beyond just automation. Collaboration between humans and machines is key to achieving excellence in manufacturing. Starting with Lean improvements and culture deployment is crucial. Continuous elimination of production wastes, easing out process bottlenecks through Low cost automations (LCA), and implementing Ergonomic designs are essential steps. First-time-right (FTR) approach and fostering a Kaizen culture are also vital for success. Remember, the journey to Manufacturing Excellence is a blend of Lean principles and smart strategies.

#SMED Changeover time of a machine (defined as time between "last good manufactured unit to first good manufactured unit") is often a challenge at many manufacturing sites. Lower the changeover time, better will be your machine productivity and its throughput. More importantly, good changeover practices create a comfortable and happy work environment for your machine operators, supervisors and production teams. ARROWHEAD CONSULTING Black Belts are expert at identifying all the nuances in a changeover process to help reduce this time drastically by implementing classic lean concept #SMED. #SMED is the process of reducing changeover or setup time. It involves identifying and eliminating any unnecessary activities, parts of the changeover process as well as optimising every action by simple techniques and tools. Below data showcases drastic reductions in changeover times across 3 work centres that we have achieved at a large manufacturing client in recent times. More than the time reduction results, this project has generated a sense of urgency and purpose across all "downtimes" that business faces in all processes - production as well as non-production functions. Even internal communication is now done with sense of urgency and mission to ensure "unnecessary" delays in information exchange does not inconvenience internal or external customer. Such is the power and impact of #SMED! Contact ARROWHEAD CONSULTING for your needs to reduce changeover times and build a high performance work place!

#ValueStreamMapping (#VSM) offers 5 key advantages 1.#EnhancedProcessVisualization: VSM provides a clear and comprehensive visual representation of the entire production process, making it easier to understand the flow of materials and information. 2. #IdentificationOfWaste: It helps in identifying non-value-adding activities, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies within the process, enabling targeted improvements. 3. #ImprovedCommunication: VSM fosters better communication and collaboration among team members by providing a common visual language to discuss processes and improvements. 4. #StrategicDecisionMaking: By highlighting current state processes and envisioning an optimized future state, VSM aids in strategic planning and decision-making for process improvements. 5. #ContinuousImprovement: It supports a culture of continuous improvement by regularly assessing and updating processes to achieve higher efficiency and productivity.

🌟 I proudly announce that our team has been recognized with the fantastic award for the Best Kaizen of 2024 in International Manufacturing, showcasing the power of cross-functional and strategic process improvement. We are proud of this achievement and remain committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement.🏆 Congratulations to all involved, and I would like to highlight the key participation of Caroline Rocha from Production Engineering and Matilda Gustavsson from Logistics Engineering, who secured efficiency from end-to-end! We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Let’s keep the momentum going as we head into the global selection for the 2024 GTO Awards. Best of luck to our team as they represent Wacol worldwide! 🔍 Why We Did It: Our goal was to improve end-to-end efficiency and implement a takt flow, addressing the constraints of our production line that was previously running inefficiently across two shifts. 🔧 What We Discovered: Through data analysis, we identified unbalanced processes, non-standard station layouts, and inefficient parts flow. These insights highlighted the need for a strategic overhaul. 🤝 Who Made It Possible: This success resulted from cross-functional collaboration involving Production Engineering, Production, Logistics Engineering, Safety, Tooling Engineering, Maintenance, Kaizen Workshop, and International Manufacturing teams. The importance of a cross-functional team cannot be overstated, as it brings diverse expertise and perspectives, driving innovative solutions and ensuring comprehensive improvements. 🛠️ How We Achieved It: We employed Standard Kaizen for every station and a Major Kaizen for the entire line. Our methodologies were rooted in VOC (Volvo Operational Concept) and VPS (Volvo Production System) principles, utilizing tools like WPO, 5S implementation, Risk Assessments, Yamazumi boards, weekly Gemba walks, Takt Boards, and the 3M Model (Muda, Muri, Mura). 📈 The Impact: Our efforts have led to a remarkable 20% increase in productivity and annual savings of AUD 458,745. #Kaizen #ContinuousImprovement #OperationalExcellence #ProductivityBoost #Teamwork #CostSavings #AwardWinning

Mastering Operational Excellence: Principle 2 - Standardization. Continuing our journey towards achieving SPDQCI goals—Safety, Productivity, Delivery, Quality, Cost and Inventory—let's explore the second critical principle: Standardization. Standardization is the backbone of a consistent, efficient and high-quality manufacturing process. It ensures that every operation is performed to the same high standards, minimizing variation and maximizing reliability. Why Standardization? Standardization eliminates waste, reduces errors and enhances productivity by ensuring every task is done correctly and efficiently, every time. How to Achieve It? 1. Workplace Organization (5S): Implement the 5S methodology—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain—to create a clean, organized and efficient workspace. 2. Visual Management: Use visual tools like boards, charts, and color codes to communicate standards, track progress and quickly identify deviations from the norm. 3. Standardized Work: Document best practices for every task and ensure all employees are trained to follow them. This creates a stable foundation for continuous improvement. 4. Management by Takt Time: Align your production pace with customer demand using Takt Time. This ensures a smooth, balanced workflow that meets demand without overproduction. By embedding Standardization into your operations, you'll achieve consistency, reduce waste and pave the way for continuous improvement. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into each principle in this series. Connect with me to implement these principles and elevate your manufacturing facility to the next level! #ManufacturingExcellence #SPDQCI #Standardization #OperationalExcellence #LeanManufacturing #ContinuousImprovement Thanks to my LinkedIn connection Korina Mercado for sharing this picture in one of her posts on the subject.
