What was the goal?
A leading global pet food manufacturer experienced significant production inefficiencies, losing 40% of manufacturing time due to outdated processes and technology. These inefficiencies resulted in higher operational costs and missed production targets.
By integrating a state-of-the-art manufacturing execution system with advanced workflow optimization, we reclaimed 40% of lost production time and transformed operational challenges into a strategic advantage.
Solution:
We introduced an integrated manufacturing execution system (MES) across the client’s facilities and leveraged workflow optimization:
- Developed predictive models to improve the efficiency of manufacturing facilities (over 780,000 sq. ft. combined)
- Implemented MES to provide real-time visibility into production bottlenecks and performance metrics.
- Conducted training sessions for plant employees to ensure successful adoption of new technologies.
Results:
- Reclaimed 40% of lost production time, significantly improving operational efficiency.
- Reduced overall production costs by 15%.
- Achieved a 25% increase in output capacity, enabling the company to meet growing demand.
Summing up
- Integrated systems: Combining MES with workflow optimization solutions unlocks productivity in complex manufacturing.
- Workforce readiness: Investing in employee training ensures the successful adoption of new technology.
- Data-driven operations: Real-time visibility transforms decision-making and operational outcomes.
