Project Example
Task Force to Accelerate the Ramp-up of an HV Module Production Plant
For a renowned plant manufacturer, we took over the interim management of a task force to accelerate the delayed ramp-up of an HV module production plant and ensure timely handover to the customer. The challenge was to make up for significant delays and regain the customer’s trust.
Background
The plant ramp-up was 12 weeks behind schedule, output reached only 20% of the target, and there was a lack of transparency and project management structures. This situation jeopardized the successful handover of the entire plant to the customer.
Specific Task
Our task included establishing a task force, introducing an error management process, developing a ramp-up curve, and implementing project standards and regular reporting. The goal was to increase plant output and ensure timely handover to the customer.
KBC Solution Approach
We introduced a daily error management process that extended from the shop floor to management. A measure-based ramp-up curve was used to forecast future plant output. We also established project standards, regular reporting, and a steering committee involving the customer.
