Lean Consulting Case Study

Lean Transformation of Computer Cabinet Manufacture in 30 Days

APW Assembled the Irmak 400 range of cabinets in a plant 8Km from the main fabrication and paint facility.

Levels of Inventory both WIP and bought in parts were high, creating waste throughout the process.

Lean Group consultants were asked to lead an activity to transform the operation to one with minimal waste.

The Lean Group led the APW team to see the waste and apply the Lean tools of :

• - Creating Flow
• - Takt time production
• - Pull Systems

This learning was quickly applied to the Irmak 400 Processes.

The APW team implemented countless small changes throughout the project. With the assembly line streamlined it could now fit into the main facility in the area previously occupied by WIP.

The 30 day programme yielded dramatic results:
