Holistic operational improvement project increases throughput 55%, eliminates customer backlog within weeks

Following a successful first project on operational improvement work, a leading global engineered building solutions
company re-engaged Implementation Engineers at its concrete enclosures plant.
This facility had been performing to 55% of plant capacity and faced a 25% increase in demand in the coming year.
With low throughput, the plant was unable to meet customer demand – resulting in high lead times, late deliveries,
and several weeks of overdue backlog. In addition, labor inefficiencies contributed to an unprofitable and
unsustainable business position. Implementation Engineers stepped in and created a holistic approach to address each
of these business issues.
