The company was asked to reduce its storage space by a factor of three. By analyzing the annual order volumes, we focused on planning the production of three lines in order to optimize the production process itself and to avoid overstocking in the warehouse. We proposed to switch from the traditional way of large batch production to agile production management. Using the product family turnaround method and the mixed model method, we introduced production with a higher number of production cycles of shorter batches, which reduced the need to store large quantities of products. By optimizing the production processes, we have enabled one month of stockholding and reduced time losses during production itself. We have also increased production productivity, which has brought significant financial savings for the company, and improved flexibility in production planning, allowing us to react more quickly to changes in the market.
