Driving Profitability – Productivity Tutorial – Case Study
The Challenge
An international FMCG company specialized in confectionery, aimed at standardizing maintenance procedures across their major sites to achieve significant productivity gains. The company approached Chools to conduct a detailed analysis and super-head a pilot project over the firm’s highlighted projection sites.
The Solution
➤ The initial analysis conducted by Chools revealed many improvement opportunities. But the sites lacked standardized processes, had historically constrained organizational structures, making them sub-par work order system. The ratio of planned to unplanned work was low. A single unified database was absent. The maintenance structures were inefficient and undeveloped. The roles and responsibilities were not defined.
➤ The consultants identified many different ways to reduce maintenance costs along with improving Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). The project goals involved the introduction of standard maintenance procedures. The new unified work order system was to reduce workload by 10%. The sites were to be incorporated with root cause analysis methodology and continuous improvement program into everyday practice. SAP PM Module was to be implemented. With it, the sites would witness a smooth transition of work orders across different stages. The improvement measures predicted the OEE increase across all lines up to 5%.
➤ A pilot project was set up for installing IT and organizational solutions. The core processes identified were planned maintenance activities, unplanned maintenance activities and optimization processes. Roles and responsibilities were organized. Schedulers were established. IT workshops helped creation of equipment structures and to optimize processes, via SAP. The program helped in ensuring continuity from work order notification to completion.
The Result
The results of the pilot project were apparent. Significant synergies resulting from the optimized maintenance system reduced the planned and unplanned workload. There was an increase in the degree of planning for each work. Maintenance resources were better utilized. There was a reduced demand for workshop capacity. More than 20% of the cost savings were achieved. There was also a similar projection for the future.
The Challenge
A worldwide manufacturer of machinery and equipment related to FMCG was caught between low demand growths for original equipment and emerging competition in the market. The company struggled with legacy issues, with high costs and underutilization. It lagged compared to industry counterparts in key parameters like profitability, inventory turns and quality. The company aspired to improve its standing and financial position by initiating a global change process to attain cost-effectiveness and productivity improvement in every aspect of the business.
The Solution
Chools assembled and charted four global teams. Each team was assigned to focus on the important aspect of a particular critical productivity issue. We conducted intensive problem-solving sessions for the teams to analyze and develop recommendations addressing the persistent issues. During the conclusion of the sessions, the teams presented recommendations to the executive committee to elevate and render decisions on the spot. After the immediate implementation, the progress was checked after regular periods. Project completion and evaluation were carried out on day declared as the checkpoint.
The Results
Within a year, four waves of teams were charted and fielded. Inventory turns doubled in one key product area. There was a close to 60% reduction in “build”, “rebuild” and “repair” cycle times. It was accomplished for primary machinery sub-assemblies and mortars. The reduction achieved in slow-moving inventory was equivalent to 6 million dollars.
With its exceptional success, the company commits to continue the implementation procedure developed by Chools. It has been made an integral part of the company’s work culture.
