Improvement of the workstation The workstation generates added value, the starting point for observation and the elimination of problems and waste. On the workstation, the flow is characterized by gestures and movements that are costly in terms of ergonomics, productivity and surface area. We seek to limit or even eliminate them. The workstation is composed of 3 elements: • The work support: a stand adapted to the part • The tools: adapted to the task • The supplies: containers or trolleys adapted to the parts to be transported and to the diversity of the components. For workstation improvement, we offer the following workshops: • 5S: Make the workstation obvious to keep tidy and clean with intuitive and visual solutions. • Hoshin: Increase the productivity of a workstation, of a process by reducing all non-added value actions. • GRP: Problem Solving Group; Find the root cause of a waste or problem in order to remove it permanently. Improvement of the line The line is a succession of stations which sequence will impact its capacity and productivity. Once each station has been optimized, the balancing of the stations between them improves the productivity of the line according to the requested Takt Time. This time can vary to adapt to customer demand. The transfer of the product from one station to another represents additional movements that will be limited by the configuration of the line and the work in “one piece at a time”.
