| “Your Demand Is Our Drive” |
| |
|
| At the top of our agenda is satisfying your needs through simplifying the way we operate our business, driving out waste and improving operating efficiency. These three objectives are at the heart of our customer focused LEAN manufacturing operating system. |
| |
|
| THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR LEAN OPERATING SYSTEM |
| |
|
| Visual Factory - A few of the many benefits of our visual factory program
is that at a glance it announces the voice of the process, simplifies day-to-day operations, enhances
communication, identifies the road blocks for production and improves problem resolution response time.
The two building blocks of the visual factory are the Voice of the Process and Storyboards. |
| |
|
| |
VOICE OF THE PROCESS - Your voice is heard loud and clear alongside the voice of
our processes through metrics that are gathered, displayed and discussed at the beginning of each day. |
| |
|
| |
STORYBOARDS - This integral part of our LEAN operating system identifies roadblocks to production
and enables our team to quickly work to overcome them in order to ensure your product is delivered in full, on time
and on quality. |
| |
|
| Cellular Design - Your products flow through a manufacturing cell which
is designed to achieve maximum throughput via lean one-piece-flow strategies. Each cell design locates production assets
in sequence of production, greatly reducing material travel and improving shop floor space utilization. |
| |
|
| One Piece Flow - By incorporating a manufacturing process in which your
products flow one piece at a time, cycle times are reduced and quality data is fed back to the process in real time. |
| |
|
5S + Safety Programs - The Senior Systems 5S + Safety programs focus
on reducing your products’ cycle times, eliminating inefficiencies, improving inventory management and reducing
overall inventory costs.
|
| |
|
TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) - Your product quality and delivery
needs are at the heart of our total productive maintenance program. Our goal is to minimize unplanned equipment down
time and eliminate equipment related defects.
|
| |
|
| Six Sigma / Lean Enterprise - Senior Systems is in the continuous
process of improving site wide Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing programs and establishing new and improved Lean Manufacturing processes. One of the advantages that Senior Systems offers is staff members that are Six Sigma Black Belt and Lean Enterprise trained and certified.
