rantronik was commissioned by a well-known medical product manufacturer to perform a detailed weak point analysis for production of an anaesthetic. In addition to a technical assessment of the whole plant, the aim was to define optimisation measures to increase plant stability and productivity.
For the moment, only a technical inspection of all the equipment for production, bottling and packing was to take place.
After an in-depth, on-site inspection of the plants, intensive discussions took place with employees and managers from all direct and neighbouring areas.
It quickly became clear that the human factor played a key role, in addition to the technical weak points: Increased motivation amongst employees, intelligible training sessions, establishment of capable shift managers in the existing three-shift operation, as well as adaptation of the existing shift model all contributed significantly to an increase in production.
The weak points analysis by rantronik, starting with procurement of raw materials, incoming goods inspections, production planning for production through to quality assurance and batch approval, also brought home to this customer that a holistic analysis was indispensable for identifying weak points in a company.
Finally, an action plan was created, showing the resources required with the duration of individual measures in all areas.
We would be delighted to help you too and contribute all of our skills and experience at rantronik for analysis in your company.
