Operational and Organizational Improvement
Resource planning and dimensioning
In a situation of highly changing demand like the one affecting today the current economic downturn there is often a mismatch between the provision of human and material resources that may ending up in causing additional costs due to resources idleness or non-compliance of deadlines in the event of overflow capacity.
Based on analysis and once determined the market demand behavior patterns, Adoria Consulting customizes the planning and programming system to allocate available resources where they are needed or where more value they will provide while optimizing the management processes for the activity to be more flexible and adaptable to a changing reality, in a structured and systematic manner.
The benefits obtained by changing an essentially reactive organizational attitude to a more planned way allows the reduction of the usual operating costs normally due, among others, to avoidable repetition of completed tasks, logistic urgencies or imbalances affecting the optimal production sequencing that will directly translate into higher personnel costs or sales lost due to a non-competitive delivery timing.
Lean Solutions
In terms of competitiveness,, order, standardization and ongoing improvement in operational, productive and business support back office processes give the organization competitive advantages both in terms of cost containment and for what it comes to the minimization of response time, providing an optimal use of all resources in each stage of the process that, in turn, allows the cost to equate to the value of the output.
Through the implementation of Lean Manufacturing techniques in all organization areas, from critical analysis of the operational processes and sources of waste, to the study of information and resources flow, we identify any organizational dysfunction and the potential for efficiency and flexibility improvement tailored for every and each scenario in order to produce tangible and short-term impact results.
