Manufacturing Consulting Services to Drive Profitability
Every manufacturing organization aims to enhance profitability by reducing costs, shortening production cycles, and minimizing waste. That’s why most of our supply chain consulting clients have already implemented various Lean Manufacturing practices before we begin working together. We bring additional value by refining and optimizing these practices while focusing on operational efficiency in the manufacturing process, including upgrades and redesigns of production lines. Our efforts are guided by these core principles:
- Prioritizing customer value
- Eliminating inefficiencies (Muda)
- Streamlining product flow
- Producing only what customers demand
- Ensuring consistent quality execution
Four pillars of manufacturing success – maximizing efficiency across the organization
KGM extends Lean Manufacturing and Lean Thinking concepts beyond the production floor. We engage all levels of the organization in the manufacturing process – from frontline workers to mid-level managers to the executive team – to ensure full alignment. Before implementing any Lean Production changes, we focus on four critical elements for success:
- Commitment from senior leadership
- Analytical tools to support lean production and problem-solving
- Training and education programs tailored to all skill levels
- A rigorous, structured, and well-defined methodology
If you’re not excelling at it, who is?
To enhance profitability, we identify areas where our clients excel and challenge them with critical questions. Are you globally recognized as the best at producing your product? If not, there’s untapped potential. We help you achieve excellence and establish a continuous improvement process to sustain that leadership.
Our clients have achieved remarkable results using our comprehensive manufacturing approach:
- Inventory reductions ranging from 40-80%
- Productivity increases of up to 50%
- Floor space reductions of up to 60%
- Scrap and rework reductions of up to 85%
- Lead-time reductions from order to delivery from weeks to hours
- Changeover reductions from hours to seconds
- Build to demand vs. build to stock
At KGM, we go beyond Lean to unlock innovative manufacturing methods, processes, and efficiencies that drive your business toward peak performance and profitability.
Dynamic Manufacturing Process
In the past decade, global resources have become increasingly volatile. From raw material supply chains to labor markets and technological advancements, manufacturers face constant disruptions. Without an adaptable manufacturing process capable of responding to real-time changes, maintaining standard output becomes challenging.
We collaborate with our clients to strike a balance between Just-in-Time production and operational flexibility. By analyzing historical data and current trends, we assess risks and implement mitigation strategies to ensure uninterrupted production efficiency and consistent product quality.
