Elegant Solutions for Complex Problems
Plano, TX (PRWEB) September 18, 2013
Pinnacle Strategies announced one of its clients, a leading global designer and producer of subsea solutions for the oil and gas industry, boosted output by more than 300% as a result of implementing Pinnacle Strategies’ visual project management system. The client achieved this incredible increase by reducing assembly days from 31 to 8 and with no increase in resources.
The challenge arose when the client found itself the victim of its creativity: their product enjoyed a customer popularity that exceeded the company’s projections. Pinnacle Strategies’ challenge was to help the client increase output to keep up with the higher than forecasted demand.
Pinnacle Strategies rapidly delivered the results by:
- Making the invisible visible by searching for the step in the process that set the pace for the process as a whole
- Visualizing the workflow by creating a visual project board
- Focusing on the constraint and remove blockages to increase flow
- Rebalancing resources to maximize flow
As a result, the client quintupled capacity, quadrupled output, and reduced lead time by 23%. Within six months, Pinnacle Strategies’ flow-focused activities had helped expand production from one-and-a-half units per month to eight units per month. This allowed the client to ship 5.67 units per months compared to 1.33, increasing revenues by more than $4mio./month.
