Sample Use Case
A South Asian-based industrial manufacturer producing HVAC components for the construction sector faced inefficiencies across its production floor, including delays, excess inventory, and high scrap rates. A 16-week consulting project began with a value stream map across planning, production, and dispatch. Lean tools were deployed, including 5S, kaizen events, and visual management boards. Output per line increased by 22%, and scrap rates were reduced from 8% to 2.7%. By renegotiating with key suppliers and consolidating SKUs, the business saved AED 1.1 million in raw material costs annually. OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improved from 68% to 83%, resulting in greater reliability and delivery confidence for key clients.
