Manufacturing
In Manufacturing, total cost, quality and total time to produce are three critical variables. We have recently introduced the Lean Manufacturing Company Physical™. It is a 3 day analysis of your operations in 4 categories:

  • Layout and Time to Produce
  • Quality systems
  • Purchasing Systems and Vendor Programs
  • Cost Reduction Systems
We look in these areas and provide a gap analysis against best practices from companies such as GE, Black & Decker, Stanley Tool Works, Pillsbury and others. Our analysis will include recommendations and their expected impacts on your operations.

Group50 can provide a complete review of your operation with these variables in mind. We will look at staffing, vendor quality, plant layouts, component cost, etc. with a view on reducing the total cost of a product and the time to produce it. Our manufacturing experts in cellular manufacturing and automation can review your processes and make recommendations on improving their costs and quality. We utilize Kaizen, FMEA, SPC, DFT and DFM techniques as part of our rigorous review of your manufacturing capability. We not only look at the shop floor, but review the systems that support it like MRP, inventory planning, scheduling and other support systems. We also benchmark what we see against best practices we have learned with world class companies. At the same time, we will provide an assessment of options such as outsourcing and rationalization. Our projects have routinely delivered 5% net of inflation cost improvements.
