АO Chelny Khleb summarised the results of implementing the Labour Productivity national project.
In the course of the project, the target values were improved by over 40% on average, a project office and a reference site were created, an internal trainer was trained, an information centre was established, Lean Production tools were implemented on the reference site, exemplary workplaces were created, and critical operations in the product flow were standardised on the Fritsch production line.
In the course of the project, a number of effective solutions were implemented to improve process efficiency. One of such solutions is implementation of addressable storage and change of planning system for semi-finished products in the freezer, which allowed to reduce the amount of unfinished products in the flow from 18 tonnes to 7.5 tonnes and to respond more promptly to daily customer requests for products manufactured in the flow.
