Process Documentation Maintenance Services

Why the Need for PDMP:

• Most companies do not conduct predetermined labor and work balancing time studies on a regular basis
• Initial line balancing and labor studies are performed once when a new product is launched or if there is a re-rate in production volumes
• Profit drain occurs when the manufacturer shifts into production mode. Workarounds begin to occur and that mindset drives non-value-added work, poor OEE, and reductions in First Run Through

Benefits of PDMP:

• Improved metrics on First Run Through
• Right-sized Indirect and Direct Labor to support production
• Continuous focus on elimination of non-value added activities
• Increased OEE
• Meaningful impact on monthly P&L
• Increased moral on the line

What Does PDMP Include:

• Video of current manufacturing/assembly operations for MODAPTS time study analysis
• Process validation of your current state operations and process control including PFMEAs, Control Plans, Work Instructions, Standardized Work, and PFEP
• Current State line balance highlighting Value Added, Non-Value Added, Non-Value Added but Necessary Work and GoldenZone analysis for each operation
• A re-balance of the current state operations focused on the elimination of NVA activities and rightsizing of direct and indirect labor to support future state
• Update of all process documentation and quarterly reviews to continue to drive process and productivity improvements
• Quarterly on-site reviews and process document updates to continuously focus on waste elimination and labor efficiency
