2 week activity, $1.5m benefit
Tait Communications
Overview
Tait Communications produce critical communications equipment in Christchurch. Faced with a sudden and temporary demand of 4 times their production capacity for hand-held radios, they were faced with a rapid response or missing out on a $1.5m opportunity.
The Problem
- No time to recruit for a 2nd shift
- No time or budget for additional production equipment
- In-line equipment Cycle Time constraints
The Solution
- Rapid in-house production of temporary jigs
- “table-top” processing lines set up
- Temporary materials delivery system introduced
- Bottleneck equipment inventory system
- In-line process taken off-line to supply 2 lines
“Through the Rapid Jishuken activity we were able to re-engineer our processes to produce 300% of our previous maximum capacity within 2 weeks”
