Inefficient Manufacturing Process
The client, an industrial product manufacturer, was burdened with operational bottlenecks, leading to prolonged lead times and increased costs.Β
βOur focus was to reduce lead times to ensure efficient production, and lean manufacturing was the approach we had in mind.β β Head of Operations
The client sought an experienced consultant who could apply lean manufacturing principles to address inefficiencies across the manufacturing sites.
Role of Consultport
Consultport proposed 2 strong consultants within 24 hours. The client interviewed both candidates and selected a former consultant at CAMELOT Consulting with extensive experiences working on lean manufacturing projects. The consultant started working with the client team 48 hours after the initial request.
Approach
In-depth Operations Assessment
The consultant performed value stream mapping and bottleneck assessment to identify operational redundancies and potential areas for improvement.
Solution
Process Reorganization Plan
Based on the assessment, the consultant developed a detailed reorganization plan.

The consultant also designed internal training sessions to educate the employees on the new initiatives and ensure smooth implementation. Additional workshops were conducted to embed a culture of continuous improvement to empower all employees to identify and solve problems.Β
