Good stories.
We optimized performance by 27% in 8 weeks on a pharmaceutical packing line by combining data analysis and business understanding. How we made it happen:

- Setting up and training operators in Blackbird data collection to ensure valid data
- Identifying and quantifying improvement initiatives based on data analysis
- Implementing and embedding improvements to ensure lasting line performance increase
- Reducing Batch Change Over (BCO) time by improving work planning
- Increasing overall line effectiveness by focusing on production bottlenecks

In three months we implemented a performance driven culture across 50 departments. We started by understanding the company’s strategy, culture and maturity to ensure a suitable implementation process and a customized solution.

- Assessment of current governance structure and the company strategy
- Identification and setup of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in collaboration with the various departments, units and teams to ensure ownership and understanding
- Clear link between the strategy and the breakdown of KPIs
- Tailoring of visual performance board to current maturity level
- Ensuring lasting use of performance boards by means of daily coaching
We have designed and implemented a Supply Chain Planning setup in a pharmaceutical company.
By analysing data and involving stakeholders, we succeeded in:

- Establishing a common foundation for planning by defining roles and responsibilities split and building a structure for master data in the ERP system
- Implementing a communication and reporting structure from bottom to top in the organisation
- Designing the future state planning process & principles
We doubled the production output of an aseptic production line by reducing time between batches with 76 %. Furthermore, visual management was implemented, and the employees were trained in systematic problem solving.

- Facilitating gap analysis, competitor overview and market analysis
- Identifying the bottleneck and set up a planning tool based on the cycle time
- Applying SMED to reduce BCO time on the bottleneck
- Implementing visual management to ensure stabilization and focus on further optimization
- Training of employees in Systematic Problem Solving to ensure continuous improvement
Development in produced batches pr. week (average number)

By combining process understanding, Lean theory and change management, we facilitate intense 3-day Kaizen workshops. Our ambition is to perform actual implementation during the three days and handover realistic and prioritized action plans.

- Reduced the number of production alarms by 80 %
- Reduced BCO time with 40 %
- Implementing visual resource planning
- Optimizing documentation approval flow
- Designing a new physical production layout
