Concept planning of a new production and logistic system:

If employees are included and profit from a noticeable optimisation, it often starts a fruitful and continuous optimisation process. This was the case in a medium sized company U-CI was able to support during its optimisation.

Concept planning of a new production and logistic system:

If employees are included and profit from a noticeable optimisation, it often starts a fruitful and continuous optimisation process. This was the case in a medium sized company U-CI was able to support during its optimisation.

The task

Process optimisation of the production and the associated service processes (sales, production planning, acquisition, logistics) and increased acceptance of change by the workforce.

Situation: Attempts by the management to make changes to optimise processes failed in their implementation. Use of IT tools which weren’t available or weren’t suitable, outdated operations and resources led to increased pressure for the workforce and productivity was stagnant. U-Ci was brought in to analyse and plan new optimisations, which would also find agreement with the workforce.

The solution

Intensive cooperation and inclusion of cross-interface project teams.

Process orientation, concentration and economic improvements as well as a reduced workload for the workforce brought about change.

U-Ci, supported by an analysis, developed individual measures
Elements of ‘Lean Management’, due to the introduction of IT tools, led to significant improvements in the flow of material and production which in turn led to clear progress and workload relief, which also led to an increase in productivity.
Initial positive experiences by the workforce motivated them to make suggestions for improvement, so that a continuous optimisation process came into being, which was supported and enriched by the workforce.
