Production Flow Optimization For a Leading Player in Glass Industry

Overview

Our client, a key player in the glass industry, is seeking to make its production flows more flexible in order to meet marketing and sales teams demands. KEPLER offers a field and participative diagnosis in order to build the layout and target processes.

Context

A company taken over by its main competitor on the French market
An industrial site far from industrial standards and showing signs of dilapidation
A complex layout, reinforced by a lack of standard processes
A CAPEX plan to be prioritized over 2 years

Objective(s)

Category: Gaining in Sustainable Productivity

Validating and aligning COMEX with commercial ambitions
Involving upstream and downstream teams in defining the solution
Building an industrial roadmap: productivity, layout, CAPEX prioritization and estimation

The complexity of such a case lies in the building of an industrial target organization responding to very uncertain commercial needs (volumes produced) and far from being stabilized. The key success factor: translating the ROI of industrial CAPEX into a target sales unit to help the business plan its objectives.
