LEAN PRODUCTION AND JUST IN TIME

In modern economy main business competitive advantage source for a company depends on its ability to increase the various forms of flexibility and to reduce costs at the same time.
Higher flexibility means faster Time to Market, and we have to focus on manufacturing process because a great percentage of resources works in manufacturing area (related to both goods and services): 75% of company investments, 80% of human resources, 85% of costs.

Pragmata offers to its clients whole support to improve Manufacturing and Logistics Processes performance with solutions prompted by Lean Manufacturing, Just In Time models and Theory of Constraint.

Critical approaches concerne:

replacement, whenever is possible, batch production with a flow one, changing the Layout, designing Group Technology systems and applying focused company model;
levelling out manufacturing volume and mix on bottlenecks, to obtain a faster response to customer needs;
Pull and Kanban system deployment to simplify materials handling and production management;
work-force involvement, training and tutorship, streching their skills to let them control more than one machine tool and to reduce set-up time (Single Minute Exchange of Die-SMED techniques);
cleaned and ordered working areas achievement, with "5S" technique;
extensive implementation of foolproof system (poka yoke) to reach a zero defects performance;
Technical Product and Process data Reengineering;
