Quick-Action Improvement Case No. 401

How Implementing Lean Sigma doubled sales in two years by exposing capacity available from existing resources.

Situation:  A Southern California manufacturer of complex machined parts was plagued with
                constant late deliveries because of fluctuating demand from its "make-to-order"
                customer base. Its processes were sluggish because of large batches of product 
                being processed in lumps through each process step.

Problem:   The Company was working three shifts, overtime and weekends to try to make
                their delivery commitments causing quality problems, uncontrolled cost increases
                and serious threats from their customers about dropping them as a supplier.

Solution:   Dynamic Solutions facilitated implementing the Lean Sigma concept of
                pull production (single-piece flow) through training action-oriented employee
                teams how to identify and eliminate waste from each process step. The processes
                were standardsized to allow everyone to be cross-trained and perform tasks with 
                a minimum of variation.

Results:     The Company has reduced its average lead-time from 12 weeks to 4 days,
                 reduced work-in-process inventory by more than 80%, increased productivity in
                 in excess of 830%, and eliminated 1.5 shifts and weekend work. These gains
                 brought a 99.99% on-time delivery performance and a reduction in quality
                 very close to the zero-defect level (measured in parts per million opportunities).
