CURRENT STATE

Employees stretched thin, multi-tasking to meet production targets, have very little time to think about improvement, working to earn a paycheck. Folks tend to accept their situation as status quo. Firefighting becomes normal day to day activity, result in missed deliveries, poor quality, increased cost and ultimately reduced profit.

70% of Operational activities are non-value added, falls into the typical 7 Wastes, moreover, the 8th waste of not capitalizing on your employees workers ideas and knowlege, can be most significant. Chances are they know about these issues, have raised the concern, but have given up on trying to fix it.

Engineering folks do not have CI experience and Operations leaders cannot see the problems clearly, and tend to focus on the wrong issues.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

Determine the top, most complex, bottle-neck processes, and let 3PS analyse the work content.
3PS will provide your team with current state feedback, document how much Waste exist within your Process, and then we will make proposals to reduce or even eliminate. Your decision to implement, but at least you and your team will have data to review, and make the decision to implement.

BENEFIT

Save your team`s time and effort, avoiding typical stopwatch method and time study methods.
Spend time on fixing the problems, instead of finding the problems.
