Our mission: Optimize your processes for greater competitiveness
As a genuine growth driver and key to competitiveness, companies today must optimize their processes.
Although the notion of method in industrial companies has evolved considerably, today it is consistent with transformation initiatives LEAN.
For several years now, all sectors of industry have been witnessing faster production cycles for new products, shorter product lifespans, and a growing demand for customization on the part of buyers, at an increasingly early stage in the manufacturing process. These changes have a significant impact on the product mix, and require industries to optimize their processes to remain competitive.
With backgrounds in bteOur experts are fully conversant with industrial methods and can help you optimize your processes.
Time determination (chrono-analysis)
"Give each task its due time".
Time measurement enables us to carry out a factual analysis of a work situation, and to identify areas for improvement (ergonomics, task synchronization, work organization, etc.) in order to increase operator efficiency: a maximum number of useful tasks performed with a minimum amount of energy expended.
Time measurement is one of the primary tools ofcontinuous improvement, as it enables us to measure precisely what is happening in a work environment, and to break down operations into Value Added/Non-Value Added.
Flow and layout (work organization)
"Plan the most optimal organization and cycle.
Covers various elements such as: operating ranges and forecast times, tools and equipment to be used, station / line layout, flows and logistics organization, balancing and effective commitment, etc.
Results ...
Intervention within a company responsible for the design, conception, industrialization, production and delivery of electronic calculators. The company wanted to bring in an expert to validate the assembly stations for its new products, in order to better control its MSD risks.
A number of actions have been taken to address these issues:
- Industrial Methods Studies
- Consideration of layout and definition of new workstations
- Analysis of files and proposals for safe workstation layout:
- Chain-side landscaping
- Line balancing (time standards)
- Formalization of ranges and instruction sheets
- Ergonomic criteria
- Rules for changing shifts according to task difficulty
- Validation of files with Industrial Methods project managers
In terms of results :
- Validation of ergonomics and assembly routines
- Assembly line layout
- MSD risk management
Workstation design and ergonomics :
"Observe, record and measure everything.
This includes studying ergonomics, analyzing workflows, validating forecast times and implementing a continuous improvement approach.
