Don’t build a new larger factory, fix the one you have.
Bricks and mortar are not always the solution.
Don’t buy additional machinery FIX THE PROCESS first.
Start with a factory wide audit to determine which processes can yield the greatest benefit to the bottom line.
Evaluate:
Product Design - Could an improved design improve the process?
Processes - Evaluate equipment including material handling equipment and methods used to make the products.
People (Training) - Are employees trained in the best methods?
Plant - Is you factory too small or maybe too large?
Systems - Evaluate the systems that drive the production flow.
