ERP systems are notoriously poor at
understanding the product process
characteristics of plant like this and
consequently launch at the wrong time and in
the wrong sequence causing all sorts of
expediting and wasted effort

As we get better Schedule Adherence at the Laser scribe and more predictable lead
times in Loop 2 we should see the outliers squeezed increasing on time and reducing

Leadership Challenges

C04 Culture
Long established way of working
Poor teamwork, low morale, unhappy customers
Risk averse
Major change in mindset required
Theory of constraint principles challenged traditional views / financial metrics
Needed to separate the complexity of C04 with the simplicity of the solution
Investment in training and education was significant the need was not
always understood

Not just a measure for the planner: how well did they stick to my plan?
A measure for operations to focus the whole team on how were using and
losing time:
Equipment not available due to breakdown
Waiting for materials
Waiting for product
Waiting for people
Production run took longer due to running at lower than standard line
speed
Changeover took longer than standard time
Production run took longer due to need to rework product/run in manual
instead of automatic
Drives the continuous improvement cycle
