With PowerLight's rapid growth, management was looking for ways to improve operational performance by reducing operating costs and improving overall productivity with the implementation of Lean Principles
Manex helped PowerLight implement operational process improvements by delivering a one-week Kaizen Blitz based on 5S Principles and Visual Control. Through in-depth simulations, the PowerLight team learned 5S methods instrumental in identifying wasteful activities throughout the organization. With this new knowledge, the company has organized two additional Kaizen events and made a considerable impact on productivity.
The broad adoption of these practices has resulted in the following performance improvements:
- Over 20% reduction in work-in-process inventory
- 20% reduction in lead time
- 20% immediate productivity improvements
- Improved employee empowerment
