“In Every Industry Across the US, Businesses are Struggling Against the Dead Weight of Inefficiency, And the Power and Temptation of Low Cost Centers in India and China. Many are Barely Surviving.” Yet one US company is thriving against all odds because they did One thing that tipped the advantage in their favor. . .Manufacturing has always been about efficiency and defect ratio. Both play key roles in production and in profit margins. But business is changing, regardless of what business you are in. After several years in the high-density disc manufacturing industry, one US company was seeing its business eroded by local and overseas competitors. Chinese manufacturers were delivering a similar (though lower quality) disc in higher volume, faster and at a much lower price. Local competitors were draining their talent pool. They were constantly hiring and training new line personnel – costing them time and money, while slowing output and increasing defect rates. Our US manufacturer was suddenly in a bloody battle for its life to drive down costs while increasing quality and throughput. An indicator review and line inspection confirmed much of what they already knew. Inefficiency and inconsistency were dragging them down. There were horrendous differences in performance and output from department to department, shift to shift, division to division. Some cells worked steadily and met most delivery milestones, while others consistently missed deadlines. Equipment often failed at the worst possible time and staffing was a constant concern. Managers and team leads stood helpless as their best, most promising employees were leaving faster and more often to join the ranks of local competitors. It was clear if they didn’t do something drastic and quick, there would be nothing left to worry about. They simply couldn’t compete at this rate against the bigger, faster companies in China and the US. |
