facility productivity without new capital spend
rotating schedules rolled out
used without new process lines
The problem
Anchor West's Pecos plant wanted more productivity without spending capital on new process lines. In the past, the facility had added process lines when it needed more output. Leadership contracted Coleman Consulting Group to raise productivity by using existing assets better, while keeping employee relations intact and meeting customer demand.
What we did
- Helped the plant move off capital-heavy capacity adds and onto schedule-driven gains
- Rolled out seven-day rotating schedules at the Pecos facility
- Kept offering schedule options so the plant could maintain employee relations while meeting demand
The results
- +34% facility productivity after rolling out seven-day rotating schedules
- Plant now taking full advantage of company assets, without the capital expenditures that used to buy capacity
- Ongoing schedule support to balance employee relations and customer demand
Coleman helped us meet our objectives. In the past we added process lines to increase productivity. Coleman helped us roll out seven day rotating schedules and our facility increase productivity by 34 percent. We are now taking full advantage of company assets. I strongly believe our company is better and stronger because of the partnership formed between Coleman Consulting Group and Anchor West, Inc.
