Productivity improvement

Need

• Plant disordered growth that implies crossed flows
• Very big and heavy pieces, difficult to be manipulated

Solution

• VSM to decide an organisation system 
• Reorganisation of lay-out to put the flows in order, to eliminate their growth and to allow the work following VSM
• Alternative handling means simplification

Achievements

• Lead time reduction: 60%
• Materials movement cost reduction (by number of movements and meters covered): 37%
• Handling costs reduction (by alternative handling means): 32%
