   Operational Efficiency Improvement at a Metal Manufacturer  
 
Client Situation:
  • OEE of the casting plant was low at 40%
  • Poor Availability of Zinc Coater
  • High Furnace Oil Consumption in Annealing
  • Throughput of Cement Coating Machine far below expected
  • Semiliterate workforce operating a labour intensive process
  • Poor material handling and safety infrastructure
  • Pollution and poor ergonomics were accepted facts of life
 
 

ECS Approach:

  • Improvement in workplace organization through implementation of 5-S
  • Cross Functional Process Improvement Teams across the entire operation from Raw Material Yard of MBF to the final Bitumen Coating Operation were trained and deployed to improve Daily Management using TPM methodology
