Company: LOGISTICS SECTOR.
Case Study:
National company dedicated to designing, manufacturing and marketing vending machines. The CEO of the Company was concerned about the problems of quality, deadlines and costs in launching new products.
Analysis:
An analysis of the engineering area was conducted where we observed that products failed cost goals and generated a high number of incidents to customers. There were coordination problems between various departments involved and the management of information caused a great loss of time.
Project:
- A new policy of costs and a system to monitor deviations were implemented according to goals.
- A new organisational model was defined and launched, identifying a responsible for costs per divisions. A new management system and a process of continuous improvement was defined and implemented for the ongoing design of new products.
Results:
- The attainment of more than 200 improvement proposals, with an estimated €3 million over a horizon of 2 years.
- At the end of the project they had implemented improvements worth €1.8 billion in cost savings.
- The new dynamic was so understood that the organisation’s personnel began to establish improvements over the initial implemented system.
