Case Study: Real Results from Operational Excellence

Demand increased. Delivery was under pressure.
Case Study-1

Demand increased. Delivery was under pressure.

UES redesigned and balanced the assembly line, introduced standard work, and ensured tools and materials were available at the point of use.
Productivity per person: 2.8 → 4.2
Throughput time: 2 days → 1 day
Result: Increased capacity to meet higher sales and profitability.
Reducing Inventory & Improving Cash Flow
Case Study-2

Reducing Inventory & Improving Cash Flow

Rising inventory was tying up valuable cash. UES implemented Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), daily performance reviews, and structured follow-ups to align sales, operations, production, and customer demand.
Finished Goods Inventory: ↓ 66%
Result: Reduced inventory levels, improved cash flow, and strengthened operational alignment to support increased sales.
Foundry Cost Reduction & Process Improvement
Case Study-3

Foundry Cost Reduction & Process Improvement

High per-piece manufacturing cost was affecting the client’s competitiveness. UES improved the foundry process by optimizing coating materials, reducing coating layers, and streamlining repetitive fettling and rework activities.
Per-Piece Cost: ↓ 17%
Results – Reduced manufacturing costs, improved process efficiency, and strengthened competitiveness and profitability.
Factory Space Optimization & Lean Manufacturing
Case Study-4

Factory Space Optimization & Lean Manufacturing

Rapid business expansion required 10× growth within only 5× the available area, creating a need to improve factory space utilization without reducing capacity. UES reduced cycle times through Kaizen, balanced the production
Factory Space: ↓ 50%
Result: Optimized manufacturing space while maintaining capacity and reducing capital investment for factory expansion.
Production Planning & OTD Improvement
Case Study-5

Production Planning & OTD Improvement

Lack of structured production planning led to daily firefighting and customer-driven priorities. UES introduced a structured Excel-based planning system with automated formats for better planning, tracking, and operational control.
On-Time Delivery: ↑ 70% → 85%
Results – delivery performance tracked and improved from 60% to 85%
OEE Improvement & Total Productive Maintenance
Case Study-6

OEE Improvement & Total Productive Maintenance

Low equipment effectiveness was limiting production capacity and productivity. UES identified key losses and downtime, then implemented focused TPM actions to improve machine availability, performance, and utilization.
OEE: ↑ 20%
Result: Improved OEE, increased productive capacity, reduced equipment losses, and better asset utilization.
