Impressive Opportunity from a Small Experiment

Just published an analysis on the Fraysen Systems website today called "Material Flow Co-ordination Case Study" which gives the results -- with their agreement, of course -- of a quick opportunity analysis we did for one of our Clients. What is striking is:

1. The amount of information that we were able to collect from a simple experiement;
2. The size of the improvement opportunity we uncovered together.

There are huge cost reduction opportunities in many businesses today. Sometimes they are 'traditional' OEE improvement projects, sometimes they are a little bit different, in this case just making sure all the parts arrive at the same time. The other nice thing is that this opportunity doesn't even require a plant wide solution. A point application of the right Information Technology can make a world of difference!
