Transforming plant logistics
The Tournon-sur-Rhône site manufactures leisure vehicles for 500 dealers in Europe. In the context of a strategic increase in sales volumes, the site needs to increase its production capacity, and consequently its storage equipements, and get better control over all flows in order to deliver smaller quantities to the assembly line and eliminate NVA.
Our mission
- Carry out a diagnosis of the storage organization, and its current layout.
- Collect logistical data missing from the information systems.
- Manage the entire project, including steering meetings, defining target productivity levels to comply with the logistics budget and launch recruitment, and implementing the internal logistics IS.
- Transform the logistics organization with product categorization, selection of containers and line-side delivery means, layout of workstations on assembly lines, layout of warehouses.
Results achieved
- 26% reduction in space taken up by line-side components.
- Transfer of non-value-added operations away from production lines, enabling the workforce to increase its effective workload by 18%.
- 75% reduction in missing parts at the line-side, thanks to a logistics system that adapts to the hazards of the assembly line.
