The problem
Kaiser's Primary Aluminum Business Unit needed scheduling solutions that matched workload to the workforce without ignoring what employees wanted from their schedules. Leadership also needed tools that would push process-improvement thinking beyond the schedule itself.
What we did
- Developed innovative scheduling solutions with Kaiser's Primary Aluminum team
- Matched workload to workforce scheduling while addressing employee needs and desires
- Left the client with tools from the scheduling project that jump-started process-improvement thinking
The results
- $4.8 million in combined savings captured, credited largely to the work between Coleman Consulting Group and Kaiser Aluminum
- Ability to match workload to workforce scheduling
- Schedules that also addressed employee needs and desires
- Process-improvement thinking that continued after the scheduling project
The innovative scheduling solutions we developed have given us the ability to match our workload to our workforce scheduling while addressing the needs and desires of our employees. The tools we gained throughout our scheduling project jump started our thinking on process improvements and enabled us to capture a combined $4.8 million in savings, due largely to the synergistic energy between Coleman Consulting Group and Kaiser Aluminum.
