MAPI

Manufacturing Automation & Process Improvement

Manufacturing facility optimization for increased product quality and on-time delivery rates for any high mix or custom manufacturing facility.

Performance is the Product of Data and Actionable Insights. Optimize for Excellence.

The Manufacturing Automation & Process Improvement (MAPI) team is here when you need to improve or renew your manufacturing facility and capabilities - from the initial design and analysis of the facility to the processes to ensure product quality & on-time delivery. Plan and execute your complete facility transformation across people, process, and technology with deliverables such as capacity analysis, layout design, cycle time reduction, and cost-effective operational strategies.

MAPI Support Scenarios

Effective data collection and analysis is critical to optimization. Your Total Factory Assessment covers constraints, yield points, buffer management and batch management, as well as an Outside Processes Assessment. This full picture of your facility allows us to understand its full potential.

Quality & Yield Identification

Contextualized data is the key to elevating your performance. We’ll work together to discover the cumulative yield of your production process. We will identify any issues with production, delivery, and cost and mitigation strategies to improve performance.

Creating Flow to Accelerate Deliveries

With consistent data and foundational impact mitigation strategies under way, you start to convert WIP into cash. As you create financial flexibility through predictable on-time deliveries, scheduling, production loading, and work sequencing, you can now fund more advanced optimization projects.

Accelerating Your Path to Excellence

Our 7 Levels of Operational Excellence Assessment is our framework to accelerate evolution from current state to target state. Your progression with KPIs such as Cost, Quality, Schedule, Visibility, Analytics, and Process Control, will be tracked as you work towards your transformation goals.
