 Improved production run
One of many groups within Mantena that have worked with OEP is the component overhaul team in the workshop at Grorud. The head of the wheel department, Bert Sterken, and
his colleagues have worked on a cross- functional analysis to pick up where time is lost in production, as well as lead time issues with materials, logistics/facilities and deliveries to the workshop.
-We took a type 73 track wheel from when it was removed in Lodalen until
it was placed in the clean stores
at Grorud. What we thought was a regular production run turned out to
be a project with great potential for improvement. To address the problem, we instituted weekly meetings where each unit defined different KPIs. As well as providing detailed reporting and logging, this improved the flow though
the process, says Sterken, who notes that they have managed to halve the overall lead time from 31 to 14 days.
