One of the few positives to come out of the recession is that many UK manufacturing companies have been forced to ‘get efficient’ in order to survive. In doing so they have ended up leaner and better equipped to compete with their overseas rivals - rivals who through lower labour and material costs could previously offer a lot more for a lot less.
That is of course good news for those UK companies that have embraced change and have become more efficient but is not such good news for those companies that have stood still. The latter are now starting to see their market being attacked from both ends - by their low-cost overseas rivals and now also by their lean UK competitors.
So what’s the answer?... whilst not straightforward, it’s never too late to get more efficient. With a determination to improve and with the help of tools like Gemba Solutions' production efficiency software, you can quickly identify significant improvements that help structure a continuous improvement program, and maximise your gains. The software can help you to:
· Understand and manage your production processes
· Identify and remove your bottlenecks
· Identify and rationalise your WIP
· Efficiently manage your support services
· Determine your true capacity
One of Gemba's clients recently piloted the software and doubled line output in 2 weeks.
