How to quickly increase production capacity in the initial stage of mass production of new products
As you said, the company has several requirements: 1. Cycle time reaches the required standard time, 2. No additional staff; And the biggest problem you see on the spot is the serious accumulation of production lines. Then it can be inferred that your main problem now should be a serious waste of working time. So I think we can start from several aspects: 1. First, level the production site and minimize the waste of a lot of man-hours such as handling and waiting. 2. Since the output is not high, we should emphasize the quality to reduce the bad output and increase the cost. 3. Standardize operation methods and train employees in bottleneck processes to improve production efficiency. 4. Consider whether the process can be optimized. Can concurrent engineering be used to simplify the bottleneck process or allocate working time? 5. Do a good job in the overall logistics layout, find out all the waste from the perspective of the whole system, and try to avoid personal experience. It's no use doing IE slowly, and it's no use just solving problems. When I arrive at a new company, I will generally standardize common problems and operations, institutionalize common production processes (such as the launch of new products), and let my team consciously consider what to do next and what to pay attention to in each time period, so that everything will come naturally.
