Effective collaboration boosts weekly shipping from 400 to 500+ pallets per week by reviewing release/shipping processes and fundamentals of daily meetingsSUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE
SITUATION
- FDA approved site willing to keep growing with new lines and increased productivity. Shipping of finished goods is under 400 pallets per week where breakeven for the warehouse to empty is 500 pallets.
Markets are always in urgent demand - Main issue is shipping and release processes which are not aligned for finished goods shipping on time in full
- All discussions rely on a no ending meeting with poor escalation / decision making between QA/production/QC/SC
- Frustration and tiredness are ramping in the operations
- For 3 years – Status quo – All internal initiatives failed, and no one has the energy/capability to make change happen
APPROACH
A task force was established, including experts from QA, QC, SC, and production. Their mission is to develop bottom-up solutions that encompass the following initiatives:
- Redesign processes from Push to Pull
- Establish a new governance model
- Review meeting standards (Input Process Output)
- Promote face to face site presence
- Challenge each occurrence by using After Action Review and feedback
- Engage stakeholders and management through change
IMPACT
- Within one month, impact is visible from 400 pallets to 500+ pallets shipped per week
- New areas of improvement are highlighted as deviation management
- Serenity is back and constructive feedback is welcome
- The client team changed its mindset from a fatalistic and almost desperate attitude to an eagerness to cooperate, move forward, and embrace change
- Client testimony: «For 3 years all initiatives failed, and you made it in two months!»
