Planned time analyses

Within the context of making production processes leaner, our lean production specialists scrutinize, produce and optimize planned times for the manufacturing of your products. This applies to both new products and modifications.

Following a value stream analysis and optimized layout, planned times are surveyed for each workstation along the synchronized value-added chain. Inviting continual feedback from adjacent departments such as logistics, planned times are then optimized together with the relevant groups. The results are discussed and approved and then incorporated and documented in your IT systems.

The benefits for you:

  • Documented optimization of the value stream
  • Avoidance of downtimes and rework
  • Freeing up savings potential.

In addition, you will have a sound basis for staff and resource measurements and unit costing and can accurately identify employee training needs.
