Working with the production teams, TXM conducted a detailed evaluation of the plant – completing a value stream map of the key product lines, benchmarking the operation against best practice standards in plant layout and conducting a 5S audit to determine the effectiveness of space utilisation. We then coached the team to develop a new plant layout and production concept for the product line incorporating flow production to Takt time, introducing quality assurance at each process step, developing highly efficient sub assembly cells and implementing improved raw material supply processes. Coaching extended over an 18-month period to support implementation of this new production line concept and ensured knowledge was handed over to the client’s team.
