Factory planning: Near Helsinki

07.02.2024 Fascinating factory planning project near Helsinki: To kick off the project, we carried out a quick review of the current production process in the factory. The existing database was checked for "value-adding" and "non-value-adding" parts. In addition, we analyzed the material flow of both prefabrication and the main lines in order to identify optimization opportunities. Our task is now to design a material flow that is optimally tailored to the customer's needs, focusing in particular on the layout of the workstations using lean management methods. The aim is to significantly reduce production costs and increase output.

To optimize and to illustrate the potential in processes we use the Value Stream Mapping. We organize together with our customers a value stream mapping workshop. We have a great focus at the workshop to the point "Learn to See " The workshop participants also instructed to the application of the methodology of Value Stream Mapping. Additionally they are instructed to the possibilities for elimination of waste. This approach leads to a high acceptance at the implementation of Lean concepts.

Our standard workshop covers the following points:
