The main goal of this Factory Roadmap project was to double the productivity of the plant. Thanks to the expertise and support of Dillygence in identifying opportunities and implementing radical changes to their factory, CEV achieved a

Context

On their roadside assistance vehicle equipment business, CEV is lagging behind in terms of industry best practices. A thorough diagnosis of their operations must help identify strategic performance improvement areas, and ultimately enable the doubling of their productivity.

Diagnosis

Evaluating the industrial maturity of the factory

—

A 5-axis diagnosis was performed to evaluate the company’s maturity in the following domains:

Automation
Industrie 4.0
Layout & Footprint
Operational Excellence
Organizational structure

This diagnosis consisted of several steps :

Plant visit to observe real-time operations
Interviews with employees of all hierarchical levels
Workshops with relevant stakeholders (including VSM : Value Stream Mapping)
Analysis of relevant available data (including operation times)

‍

Our Solutions

Following the diagnosis, a total of 17 actions were identified to boost the factory’s performance. 3 out of these 17 actions were qualified as essential, as their potential impact relative to their costs of implementation (in terms of investment and change management) were the most promising.

A general transformation roadmap was produced, and several workshops were conducted to refine the target and intermediate stages on the 3 most promising actions for performance improvement. The refining process involved both Dillygence’s Lean expertise, and the operational expertise of CEV’s project leaders and key stakeholders on these particular issues.
