Work Process Upgrade Improves Work Cell Productivity by 40%, Reduces WIP by 86% Situation: A customer specific cell had been previously designed and was in use for several years. Work in Process was not properly managed and the work cell productivity was below expectation. Solution: MEC team leaders called for a "Lean Event" process review. This led to implementation of a POU pull system utilizing kanban cards. The system is now managed by the Team Leader with very little interaction with purchasing. Waste was identified and eliminated, resulting in fewer hours needed to meet the customer's requirement. Results: On time delivery to the customer significantly improved. WIP was reduced by 86%. Productivity of the cell improved by 40%. |
