Case Study Aircraft ManufacturerCase Study Aircraft Manufacturer

A list of 42 high impact suppliers were analyzed in six weeks and TPT engaged with key suppliers to break constraints and improve throughput

TPT developed a line simulation accounting for the measured variability and then developed the optimum layout solution

Eclipse was able to increase throughput from 3 aircraft per day to 30 aircraft per day, despite supplier shortages

Utilizing Land Rover’s “Lean Master Class” process the Defender team and TPT developed and implemented productivity improvements

Case Study Low Volume VehiclesCase Study Low Volume Vehicles

Defender built 12 months of volume in a 9 month period

Achieved a 540 line rate – the highest volume ever produced on a single shift

Body Shop achieved a 50% reduction in scrap

TPT is the Single Sourced Manufacturing Engineering Firm for Ford Motor Company

TPT implemented the Quality Mapping Process driving over 300 quality concerns back to the base operations for permanent corrective actions

Results were improved First Time Through, increased productivity and substantial cost reductions

TPT was engaged at a machine tool manufacturer, to analyze their enterprise and improve throughput from sales to delivery.

Value Stream Mapping exercises demonstrated that there were constraints in the upstream Office processes which required Lean implementation.

Current state Value Stream Maps were created in a team environment to identify constraints and areas for improvement in the Engineering, Purchasing and Scheduling departments.

Future State Value Stream Maps were then created to change business processes in the upstream departments to eliminate constraints.

The revised business processes would drive a savings of 4 - 6 weeks in their business cycle.
