How we proceeded

PHASE 1- SUPPORT

Initiatizatiton (December 2019)

Understand the current state, team, work done at each workstream and hot points, cold points, create TIP (tactical implementation plan) for period January, February, March, April 2020

  • Hot point 1: layout review of future production/assembly/storage area
  • Hot point 2: review of open orders at UK site, create priority list  
  • Hot point 3: staffing, understand skill set need vs workload for period Q.I + Q.II 

 

Phase 2: OPERATIONAL CONTROL

Hands on approach (January 2020+February2020)

Bring under control hot points from each work stream, assign responsibilities, KPI’s, timelines and start daily stand up meeting with all project team members

  • Use War room concept, online connected via smart phones to Global projects leads/COO - use SQDCM standard, short term, long term action list, visualize project TIP
  • Lay down foundation for Operational excellence (=world class manufacturing) principles, choose operational excellence champion and train on principles of OPEX
  • Organize step by step relocation of production/stock from UK to CZ - !end of January Brexit! 
  • Support local team with all possible issues related to: material handling system and software, finished goods release.

Phase 3: STANDARDIZATION

Hand over to team (March 2020-April 2020)
