A new factory is under construction

Context

A mid-sized robotics company with a current production capacity of 3,500 units/year is experiencing rapid sales growth and operational challenges. A new factory is under construction to support expansion, but quality issues (76% first-pass yield) and inefficiencies are slowing progress.

Objectives

• Scale production to 15,000 units/year by 2030.

• Reduce production costs and improve quality to 95% first-pass yield.

• Optimize the footprint of the new factory.

Proposed Solution

• Implement a "Supermarket" layout.

• Streamline processes and introduce targeted automation.

• Redesign organizational roles, including the introduction of Team Leaders.

Expected Results

• 34% reduction in production costs.

• 2.2-point EBITDA improvement.

• Elimination of outsourcing needs.
