Factory Productivity Improvement

Industrial & Systems Engineering through &diligence

Get more from your production system

When demand grows, adding machines or people may seem like the immediate answer. A closer look at how work flows through your factory can help frame a better decision. SEREDIUM’s brand &diligence works with manufacturers on productivity improvement, cost optimisation and capacity expansion.

Which constraint is holding back output?

Factory performance is shaped by more than the speed of a single machine. Work allocation, material movement, waiting time and the balance between operations can all affect the output of the complete system. Start by describing where production falls short and how that gap affects delivery or cost.

Productivity improvement. Explore how work methods, process flow and the use of available resources relate to your output targets.

Cost optimisation. Discuss the activities and resource requirements behind your manufacturing costs, with a focus on the production issues you can identify and measure.

Capacity expansion. Examine the requirement for additional output alongside the constraints of your existing facility and equipment.

Connect productivity, layout and automation

A production issue may call for a change in work organisation, a different layout, an automation intervention or a combination. SEREDIUM brings consulting and automation brands together so you can discuss the manufacturing problem in context.

Visit &diligence for the consulting brand, or contact SEREDIUM to explain a project that spans consulting and automation.

Prepare for a useful first discussion

Tell us what you manufacture, where the factory is located, current output, desired output and the operation you believe is limiting production. If available, include shift patterns, the number of people involved and the main causes of delay. These details help distinguish a capacity target from the underlying production challenge.

Do you need a new factory to increase capacity?

That depends on the constraint. Your enquiry can begin with an existing facility and a target for growth. Explain the space, equipment and production limits you face before deciding whether an expansion or redesign is required.

Discuss your next production target
