Less inefficiency and better production flow

Manufacturing operations run under constant cost pressure and shifting demand, so even small inefficiencies quickly impact margins, quality and delivery performance.

Typical challenges in manufacturing

  • Rising handling costs per pallet and per unit
  • Seasonal and unpredictable demand – peaks, troughs and excess stock
  • Quality issues and damaged goods – waste, rework and complaints
  • Safety risks in busy areas and pedestrian zones
  • Bottlenecks and uneven flow between production, storage and dispatch
  • Process and picking errors that slow down throughput
  • Labour shortages for key processes and shifts

Many of these problems stem from the eight types of waste that the Zero Muda approach identifies and eliminates.
