Efficiency as the basis of our development

Kaizen (Japanese for “change for the better”) is a method in which employees at all levels of a company proactively work together to achieve regular, incremental improvements in work quality and efficiency, eliminate waste and improve safety. Kaizen embodies a culture of continuous improvement, where we find solutions to administrative and production challenges.

The Quick Changeover method SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) helps to reduce losses during the readjustment or resetting of equipment. Our staff analyse the production process, identify waste and unproductive time, and make suggestions for improvements, creating a standard for a more efficient, faster and safer production process.

TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is the comprehensive involvement of operators in the planned maintenance of their equipment, enabling them to improve production, prevent breakdowns and unplanned stoppages, as well as reduce safety risks. Because of the method, we are able to increase the availability of equipment and improve the quality of the equipment.

The TWI (Training Within Industry Job Instruction) method ensures that our employees are trained to a common standard – gaining the knowledge and skills needed to do the job safely, to a high standard and in the planned scope. The method helps reduce training time, while the knowledge gained reduces defects and repeated work, accidents and staff turnover.

PDCA (Plan/Do/Check/Act) is a method for initiating and implementing changes to processes, measuring the results achieved and standardising the changes made, or starting the cycle again depending on the results. The PDCA cycle consists of four stages – Plan, Do, Check and Act – completed one after the other in a fixed sequence to achieve the desired result.
