Reducing cycletime and downtime, optimising production and improving quality
In a highly competitive sector where continuous development is required to meet evolving consumer demand and margins are under constant pressure, Newton helps clients resolve complex manufacturing issues and unlock hidden potential in processes to rapidly achieve increased profitability.
We have extensive expertise in robotic and manual assembly and sub-assembly lines within automotive factories, tier one and tier two supply plants, and across a range of speciality engineering processes. Our work delivers step changes in cycle time, reductions in downtime, capital investment avoidance and improvements in production planning and product quality.
Most of our clients already run lean manufacturing operations and we work closely with onsite teams familiar with Lean, Six Sigma, World Class Manufacturing and TPM to identify and deliver enhanced performance.
Examples of our achievements in this sector include 30% increase in automation subassembly, 45% improvement in transfer press output, 26% increase in fuel filler pipe assembly OEE, avoiding a £1m capital investment in a subassembly line, and improving OTIF delivery from 22% to 85% - as well as reducing lead time by two weeks.
