Background
The automotive supplier was confronted with considerable inefficiencies in its production. Overcapacity, high operating and maintenance costs, inefficient material flows and high reject rates were putting a strain on the company in addition to excess personnel capacity and declining sales figures.
Specific Task
It was necessary to develop a comprehensive restructuring concept for the entire production area. This was aimed at optimizing the existing infrastructure, reducing reject rates and increasing efficiency in the production processes.
KBC Solution Approach
A detailed restructuring concept was developed that focused on three main areas:
- Optimization and efficient use of the existing infrastructure, machines and systems.
- Reducing reject rates through technical measures and strengthening quality processes.
- Increasing efficiency in production processes through new concepts and optimized value streams.
