Industrial Process Improvement

Factory audit reveals strengths and weaknesses of manufacturing processes. Based on our findings and opportunities for improvements, we follow up corrective actions and help to schedule, estimate cost and benefit of each action.

Factory audit reveals strengths and weaknesses of manufacturing processes. After the closing meeting with a factory where major nonconformities are detailed and opportunities for improvement explained, most of the factory managers welcome the outcome and assure that things will be solved. Time passes, all factory personnel are back to their busy schedule, running the day-to-day tasks and the motivation to drive the changes forgotten.

As an independent 3rd party, we propose to be involved and assist the top management of the factory to drive the changes. We help to plan, setup goals and designate people responsible: we keep the motivation high.

• Drive Improvement
• Coordinate, Train and support
• Follow-up.

We can setup quality system based on ISO 9001 requirements. One which will make sense to the factory in order to control the quality of its product and ticks the boxes to their customers in term of traceability and performances.

Sometime, product price is the decisive factor when selecting new supplier. This new supplier is then introduced to your own customer who request this factory to meet certain quality management system standard. This is when we intervene.

Based on the requirements, we help factory to setup the necessary quality system, one which will be obvious to adopt, which will make you wonder how you produced before without it. We assist the factory on:

• Documentations and procedures.
• Process flow: PO acknowledgment process, incoming raw material instructions, start of production process, packing process.
• Quality control and testing.
• Quality management system Training.

We can help eliminating none added value operations which will reduce production cost and lead time. It could also improve employee well being and commitment.

Continuous improvement program is key to adapt to ever changing market and expectations. Elimination of ‘waste’, of non added value task which cannot be justified on the product price will help you to stay on top of your market sustainably.

We organize ‘Kaizen’ events to reduce:

• Defects
• Overproduction
• Waiting
• Nonutilized talent
• Transportation
• Inventory
• Motion
• Excess processing.
