Walking Tour in Comez International

On March 15 Bonfiglioli Consulting is organizing a Walking Tour in the manufacturing plant to illustrate how it is possible:

  • Reduce waste in logistics-production with a focus on assembly processes approached according to the Lean Thinking approach
  • Improving efficiency and punctuality along the entire process

Now more than ever, it becomes necessary to find business models that can cope with the profound changes that every industry is experiencing. It is necessary to be excellent not only in terms of product, but also in processes.

The Lean Thinking is a concrete answer to the needs of those enterprises that are capable of perceiving and managing change. We state this with the certainty of those who have, data in hand, real experiences in the field and measurable and lasting results.

The experiences gained and the concrete results obtained allow us to affirm that Lean Thinking can be successfully applied in every engineering sector and beyond, even for companies that operate on a contract basis.

The case COMEZ INTERNATIONAL presents the experience of a company that began a journey of change and chose Bonfiglioli Consulting as its partner for the implementation of major improvement projects.

In particular, the assembly process was reviewed, applying methods and tools for balancing the workload of the lines also thanks to a new layout.
The efficiency of the machining department has been measured and major losses have been attacked through specific improvements, involving operators.

Finally, Flash Meetings were introduced, which are very effective tools for team coordination, consolidation of improvements achieved, and knowledge dissemination.

The main result of this project, which is still ongoing, has been the increase in productivity at the assembly of the 25% and the reduction in delivery time of the 30%.

To this important achievement, a significant change in corporate culture towards empowerment and autonomy of all people involved in the project is added.

The Walking Tour is free of charge and is particularly aimed at Entrepreneurs, Managing Directors, General Managers, Function and/or Process Managers. A maximum of two participants per company are allowed. Bonfiglioli Consulting reserves the right not to confirm registration. Registration deadline: March 8, 2018
