Manufacturing case study
Vantor Industries lifts plant output by 23%
Lean and automation programme across six plants.
The challenge and our approach
Vantor’s plants were running at 61% overall equipment effectiveness, well below peers, and a planned new plant would have cost $240M.
Our team spent 14 weeks on the shop floor with Vantor supervisors, introducing daily performance boards, quick-changeover methods and targeted automation. Throughput rose 23%, and the new plant was no longer needed.
