BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Gain Efficiency & Save Money – Evaluate Your Production Lines
When is the last time you took a hard look at your production lines?
- How are we moving product through our facility?
- Do we have work instructions / drawings available where needed?
- Do we have frequently used inventory available at the line?
- Where are the bottlenecks?
- Are processes automated, where possible?
Taking a hard look at your processes and procedures may reveal some interesting results. Don’t assume that everyone is doing things the same way. Some may be superstars, and others may need some mentoring. Some processes may be outdated and costing you time and money, while others are extremely efficient. One area of the business may benefit from how others operate. Take the time to review and analyze your findings. Your company may benefit greatly as a result.
