Lean Layout
Better flow, zero defects.
The Key to Operational Success: Throughput Efficiency
Enhancing the pace of your product throughput truly determines the success of your operation. The size and complexity do not give an accurate measure of your business capabilities.
Lean
Layout
Principles
1.
Supports in process inventory reductions improving Throughput Time
2.
Encourages the use of pull systems reducing lineside inventory
3.
Reduced walking and transportation
4.
Reduces fixed costs
5.
Enables expansion without the capital expenditure of new buildings
6.
Expansion in revenue should not necessarily require more real estate
Balancing Business Growth with Space Efficiency
Business growth is a measure of success but why not enhance growth alongside a floor-space reduction driven mindset. In Lean terms, continue to grow sales but minimise capital expenditure and operational costs.
Optimising Performance with Lean Layout
Lean layout, based around the principle of One Piece Flow, will enhance your production performance, not only improving the pace of parts through the system but also reducing the amount of defects produced and eliminating waste by default.
