Case studies
Development of the standard timing management process at Fenplast
Fenplast’s capacity and planning management system did not sufficiently provide precise information to adequately plan production, keep costs under control and optimize efficiency in the plant.
OUR CONTRIBUTION
TO THEIR GROWTH MOMENTUM
BENEFITS FOLLOWING THE PROJECT
More realistic planning
Better performance measurement
Better targeting of improvement opportunities
Our intervention
The Progima team provided the expertise to establish standard work: timing, video analysis, task breakdown, inclusions, exclusions, methodology, etc. The plan also included training an internal team to help the company become more autonomous with a view to sustainability. In addition to better production planning, time management now makes it possible to simulate beforehand the impact of a process change or new product introduction to estimate potential gains.
