Operational Impact
The phased, incremental rollout of ProFicient has allowed Hart and his team to closely observe improvements while maintaining their high level of precision. | |
ProFicient has contributed to improving TEL NEXX’s overall objective of more comprehensive manufacturing. Operators no longer have to duplicate data-entry steps, manually recording statistics on paper, then entering them in spreadsheets. Instead, they’re entering data into ProFicient once in real time. “As the operators have adapted to the new system, overall efficiency has visibly changed,” Hart says. “As the projects and operators advance, we only expect to move faster and faster— with the same integrity.” | |
Morale has improved on the shop floor, as well. The operators are excited to enter data on the tablets. Hart notes, “There has been an overall change in the manufacturing atmosphere, from the drudgery of manually recording data and sending it into a black hole to a feeling of ownership as people see their names and the data they entered instantly.” The result is greater pride in their work and a greater sense of the importance of accountability in operators’ data. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Hart rolled out the ProFicient software on two production lines, with plans to roll the solution out to four more lines by the end of 2017. | |
