23.11.2017 | Stronger Customer Orientation and Reliable Quality with Kubo Lean
back to overviewLEAN Management is one element in the strategy of the Kubo Group aiming to remain competitive and attractive in the market with a production site in Switzerland.
Based on our high quality level, the goals of Lean Management at Kubo are as follows:
- Highest possible delivery reliability
- Lowest possible lead times
- Competitive costs
In the Kubo Group we have now working with the implementation of the Lean principles for more than one year in the areas Production, Logistics and Quality Management, according to our motto «Kubo Lean simply faster».
Lean is an attitude which can only work if staff on every level of the organisation are involved. Thus, the 6 basic elements have been defined together with the management teams:
- 5S Visual Management – defines the standards at the workplace and reduces searching times
- Competence/Knowledge Matrix – determines the skills of the employee and develops them
- CIP-projects – is he structured management of problems which leads to concrete improvements
- Scoreboard – shows the actual performance and the targets to all people involved
- Safety and Environment at work – focusses on near misses and reduces risks
- Shopfloor Management – is he daily communication platform for the management of the processes and addresses the topics directly to the right person
After the first year and more than 150 single measures aimed to eliminate losses, we can draw a positive balance:
- The teams mainly live up actively to LEAN Management and see the potential
- The implemented procedures are applied
- The results show considerable improvements in delivery reliability and lead times
We carry on. Our goal is to improve constantly, to respond even more effectively to our customers’ needs and to deliver you the best possible service.
