Aerospace Manufacturer – Colorado Springs, CO
This company was struggling to meet customer demand. After taking time to understand the current state of operations, we found the company was carrying large amounts of work in process (WIP), slowing the flow of product to customers. The excess WIP was affecting every department from planning to machining to assembly. We worked with the team to manage workflow using pull systems and implement visual controls to sustain the improvements. This project resulted in a 80% reduction in WIP and 60% reduction in lead-time.

This company was growing quickly and wanted to capitalize on their potential to take on even more growth. We did an initial site evaluation to understand the current state of the operations and determine where we could gain capacity. We worked with the team to identify critical machines (or constraints) to prioritize our efforts. We decided to have a week-long kaizen event (short team project) to reduce setup on one of their key products and machines. This project reduced setup by 49% which equated to an added 200+ yearly hours of capacity – from just one machine!

This company wanted to reduce batch sizes to increase throughput. They were concerned about the large amount of setup time it would add, so we worked to try to reduce setup times. We worked with the team to identify critical machines (or constraints) to prioritize our setup reduction efforts and then held several kaizen events (short team projects to reduce setup on these critical machines. This project reduced setup by 40-85%.

This company had built strong customer relationships and had an exceptional reputation for quality which led to huge growth. They were at a point where they needed to modify their operations management techniques to be able to execute on the new growth. We met with the team to understand what their key challenges were, and it became clear that their current systems and tools were not providing the visibility they needed to plan and execute on the significant growth. We worked directly with their ERP system provider as well as their team to develop a solution. This project provided them with an easy-to-use capacity management tool to help them make sound business decisions.

This company was growing quickly, and legacy processes were no longer producing products at the desired quality level. We observed the processes to understand the current state of operations. Then we worked with the team to develop metrics, a root cause and corrective action (RCCA) process, and a cross-functional weekly review process. This project resulted in a 22% increase in quality.
