Shorten lead time in a production environment

Shorten lead time

When it comes to shortening lead times in a production environment, faster production lines are the first thing that comes to mind, robotization and possibly other automation. However, waste such as waiting times, failures, incorrect machine settings, unnecessary internal transport and storage often have a much bigger influence on the lead time than the speed of a production line.

How to shorten lead time?

Lead time reduction starts with more insight into the OEE

Improve lead time

This is expressed in the OEE factor (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). This factor 0-100% represents the extent to which you make useful use of your asset(s). Given that this factor often does not even reach 45% for customers who choose the MyPlantFloor product at the start, it does indicate that there is more to gain in this area by eliminating losses (read waste) than by purchasing a new machine.
