Diagnostic Kaizen
A Diagnostic Kaizen analyzes a process, cell or manufacturing line using Supply Chain Accelerator? (SCA) software. Interfacing with your legacy or ERP systems, SCA downloads the necessary data such as part information, bill of materials, routers, and workstation data. SCA then develops a process model, analyzes where the constraint is, and performs "what if" analyses to determine which type of improvement will have the biggest impact - Setup Reduction, Defect Prevention, and Total Productive Maintenance. In addition, SCA will calculate the optimal batch sizes to meet customer demand. Thus, not only is the right problem attacked, but also the right tool is used!
