Introduction
Nowadays, customer demands are diversifying and the number of requests is decreasing rapidly. Especially companies or dealers selling through e-commerce systems face a high demand for their products. Delivery speed is also getting shorter and even same day cargo is demanded. There are two ways to meet these demands. The first of these is to keep stock, in which case serious stock quantities emerge in the market where the variety is high, and the second way is to meet the demands by producing directly. In this case, a system will be needed to produce the daily demand at once. High model changeover times will be our biggest obstacle. If you cannot reduce the times, you will lose your competitiveness as product costs will increase. SMED gives you this power and you even get ahead of the competition. Because it is possible to reduce the model change time to single minutes under all conditions.
- Determining current model change times and establishing a measurement system,
- Teaching SMED, 5S and KAIZEN techniques to employees,
- Better learning of machines by employees,
- Gradually reducing supply and production batch sizes in the stock management system,
- Adapting the planning system to new model change times,
- Planning and implementation of technical improvements for SMED,
- Improving quality, reducing the defective production rate to less than 1%,
How we work?
Before providing service to you, we visit your company by applying the principle of "GECHI GEMBUTSU" (go and see it), which is one of the basic principles of lean thinking. In order to form our basic opinions about your company, determine the scope of the project to be implemented, and get the opinions of the company management about lean thinking, we determine the project draft by having a meeting that will last 1 - 2 hours, a general visit to the company facilities and an exchange of views.
The SMED IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT proposal prepared by your visiting consultant is presented to the relevant authorized person one week after the visit.
Our consultancy service is provided directly on site. Although there are meeting room trainings, the real service is obtained through one-on-one practice in the field. All of our consultants are people who experience the results of lean production implementation in a permanent way.
