Production process mapping, material flow and space utilization analysis. Bottleneck identification, measures proposal with economic evaluation.
6 months
Duration
Challenge
Leading automotive lighting manufacturer needed to optimize internal logistics. It was necessary to map material flows, identify bottlenecks in warehousing and material delivery, analyze space utilization and propose specific measures for process efficiency improvement.
Inefficient inventory placement and slow material delivery
Unnecessary material handling operations
Missing data on actual operation times
Solution
We conducted comprehensive analysis directly in production facilities - from actual time measurement to spatial layout evaluation. We collected hard data on material movement and identified critical process points. Output included specific change proposals with economic justification.
Field data collection - time measurement, material movement tracking
Bottleneck and inefficient operation identification
Spatial layout and inventory placement analysis
Specific process efficiency improvement proposals
Economic evaluation of individual solutions
Implementation plan development with ROI-based prioritization
Technologies Used
Results
