"I don't know if things will get better when they change, but they have to change if they are to get better."
(Georg Christoph Lichtenberg)
With a hands-on mentality, MW-OPTICON increases the performance of your personnel and machinery.
MW-OPTICON → Your Partner for Sustainable Productivity and Efficiency Improvement in the Manufacturing Industry.
EMPLOYEE-RELATED MEASURES
- MW-OPTICON relies on targeted training to raise employee awareness of waste within workflows, enabling them to identify and systematically eliminate it. This approach creates sustainable and efficient processes that contribute to optimal utilization of company resources.
- Through team-building and coaching, MW-OPTICON fosters a motivating work environment that enhances productivity.
- MW-OPTICON ensures a harmonious and relaxed work atmosphere by conducting ergonomic workplace assessments and making adjustments based on scientific principles.
- MW-OPTICON implements a visual management system directly on the shop floor, transparently displaying relevant KPIs, production goals, and current status updates for all employees. This enhances shared understanding of production objectives and allows for immediate feedback on production progress.
MACHINE-RELATED MEASURES
- MW-OPTICON optimizes machine utilization and employee productivity through precise capacity and production planning.
- MW-OPTICON collects and analyzes performance data from machines and employees to specifically identify weaknesses.
- MW-OPTICON examines workflows and machine processes for efficiency and bottlenecks using Lean methods such as KVP, Kaizen, 5S, and setup time optimization (EKUV method).
- MW-OPTICON establishes clear KPIs for machine efficiency on the shop floor and consistently monitors them.
- MW-OPTICON implements predictive maintenance systems to detect machine failures early and optimize maintenance intervals based on real-time data. This reduces unplanned downtime and extends the lifespan of the machines.
MW-OPTICON increases the efficiency of your manufacturing processes by working along the entire value chain and making all forms of “waste” visible.
- Reduction or elimination of waste
- Optimization of setup times
- Reduction of lead times
- Cycle time optimization through process improvements
- Implementation of Continuous Improvement Process (CIP)
- Reduction of technical complexity
