Lean Improvements for Cost Reduction


    How have we helped?

    We’ve seen many manufacturers face constant challenges in cost, quality and delivery. Through each step, we work with our clients and stakeholders to solve these challenges — approaching each issue with practical, pragmatic and sustainable solutions. Our aim is to provide reliable infrastructure for our clients to continue succeeding now and in the future. 

    These case studies are designed to walk you through how we’ve confronted challenges and the results of putting our solutions into action.

    In this comprehensive case study we cover:

    • The cost issues this sporting goods factory was facing.
    • Our recommendation in calibrating the machine functioning to be more efficient and decrease the time spent on one product.
    • How we implemented lean manufacturing to accelerate their successes. 

    Download our case study to see how we helped this Sporting Goods manufacturer save nearly $750,000 a year.

    Challenges

    The facility in question was overcrowded, both in terms of staff and equipment. Many processes were designed inefficiently causing rework and unnecessary costs for the company. Our team observed that the painting process resulted in over 70% wastage, the machines were not regularly calibrated, and personnel could be reduced by at least 30% while maintaining the same level of productivity.

    Solution & Result

    MTG’s support was needed to improve efficiency through simple processes and a reorganized factory layout, and a lean operations strategy had to be developed for the future expansion of their operations. However, their management was initially hesitant to buy into the lean operations strategy.
