Initial situation and challenges
Before the introduction of ValueStreamer, the Schunk Group faced challenges in terms of transparency and efficiency within its operational processes. In one of its business units in particular, there was a lack of consistency in store floor management practices.
Communication was largely manual, which was not only time-consuming but also carried the risk of information loss. In addition, the reliance on paper documents and Excel lists led to inefficiencies and prevented a timely response to changes in production.
Goals and solutions
The main objective of implementing ValueStreamer was to create comprehensive transparency across all operational measures and significantly increase efficiency and data quality.
By reducing the dependency on paper-based processes and standardizing the store floor management boards, a "paperless factory" was to be realized. This enables all production teams to communicate and collaborate in a standardized system.
Implementation and results
Thanks to the professional and speedy implementation by the ValueStreamer team, the system went live within a few days, delivering immediate added value for the Schunk Group. The results speak for themselves:
- Improved operational processes: transparency in production processes has been significantly improved, enabling decision makers to make more informed decisions faster.
- Impressive improvements in collaboration: Teams across different locations now work together seamlessly, strengthened by uniform standards and a centralized communication platform.
- Increased efficiency: The reduction of paperwork and the elimination of Excel lists led to a significant increase in efficiency in daily processes.
Conclusion
The introduction of ValueStreamer at the Schunk Group impressively demonstrates how digital store floor management can not only improve internal efficiency and data quality, but also create the basis for improved collaboration across functional boundaries.
A key aspect of ValueStreamer's success at Schunk Group is the extensive implementation of our solution across different business units. To date, ValueStreamer has been successfully implemented in 4 of the Schunk Group's 8 business units. This broad application underlines the flexibility and scalability of ValueStreamer in meeting the specific requirements and challenges of different operating units.
