USE CASES<\/i><\/strong><\/p><\/div>

Optimize the industrialization of small production runs through structured and collaborative management.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>

In many workshops, small-batch production can quickly become a challenge in terms of competitiveness and meeting time standards. Discrepancies between planned and actual times result in financial losses<\/strong> and affect the workshop\u2019s overall performance. To address this, it is essential to implement a robust, structured, and collaborative<\/strong> approach to the industrialization of new products. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Project Objectives<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

In the workshop specializing in wiring harnesses and panels, small-batch products were not competitive. The main problems identified were: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Significant discrepancies<\/strong> between planned standard times and actual time spent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Insufficient communication and follow-up<\/strong> regarding information shared with production, which made it difficult to meet productivity targets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The goal was clear: to bring the productivity of the pilot products up to the defined standards<\/strong> and permanently eliminate variances through a robust process and collective management.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    The Approach<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>

      \n
    1. \n

      Process Diagnostics<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Process analysis and identification of pain points using the SIPOC<\/strong> method.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Detailed mapping of accounting processes using the swimlane<\/strong> method to visualize the initial situation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Short-Term Action Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Implementation of the quick wins<\/strong> incorporated into the management team\u2019s control room.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Establishing Weekly Routines<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            15-minute POP per team<\/strong>: leading the activity, tracking financial KPIs, and dynamically planning actions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            30-minute POP in the Financial Control Department<\/strong>: overall management, team coordination, and monitoring of key projects.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Development of Metrics and Management Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Accounting KPIs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Dynamic Action Planning.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Tracking performance and sharing best practices.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>

              The results obtained<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

              Implementing this approach has made it possible to:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                Return to standard production levels<\/strong> for the pilot product, with an estimated time savings of 9 hours per production run<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Identification and tracking of 35 initiatives<\/strong>, with 100% of key initiatives completed thanks to enhanced management and the reorganization of tools and methods (trolley, WIN\/WIN process, Obeya).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Establishment of a clear, standardized process<\/strong> with defined milestones and regular monitoring of activities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Sustainable improvement in productivity<\/strong> for small-batch production through a methodology that can be applied to other products.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                This approach demonstrates that the industrialization of new product lines can be optimized over the long term<\/strong> when teams have a structured framework, visual management tools, and tailored support.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
