Manufacturing Processes
Factory Optimization
In 2020, the company launched an internal cost saving program called Production System Efficiency (PSE) focusing on Capital Equipment Capacity and Capability, Productivity and Efficiency, Cost Reduction and Quality Improvement, Factory Capacity, Safety, Sustainability and furthering out Lean Culture.
Factory Capacity is inclusive of Manufacturing Space, Product and People Flow. Once awarded a new BCA Assembly work package in 2019, a team consisting of Lean, Production, Quality, Facilities Maintenance and Shipping was formed to enhance the manufacturing space optimization and streamline the flow to create required space for the newly awarded package. The target was to on-board the new work without using a single additional square foot of factory space.
The team brainstormed, conducted several workshops using 3P approach and simulated various flow and layouts. The team managed to develop assumptions to move on with the factory capacity planning and analysis. The team created free manufacturing space of 61,412 sq ft compared to calculated space requirement of 8,000 sq ft for the BCA Assembly package. The team not only achieved the goal of on-boarding the work packages without utilizing additional factory floor space, but they created significantly more factory square footage for future work.
With such an experience and a strong, cohesive team working on continuous elimination of waste and cost-saving initiative, BCM will be well prepared to take up more new business and handle the challenges that may come.
