Maintain deliveries of injected panels (Tier 2) to the manufacturer’s line (Tier 1) to avoid stopping the OEM’s assembly line.
Supplier Tier 2 in Curitiba and Supplier Tier 1 in GravataĆ.
Strategy Applied
Created a buffer of parts sufficient to support at least a 1-shift stoppage of the injector.
Piece-by-piece production monitoring and selection.
Implemented special logistics for part shipment.
Created a Multidisciplinary War Group to identify the fault beside the injector using the 5 Whys and reaching the root cause of the problem/fault in the part.
Implemented Results
Fault identified in the injector.
Identified TPM failure in the injector, added point in maintenance inspections and extended to other injectors. > Supplier’s learning to react in emergency situations with more efficiency and assertiveness.
Opened a partnership between client and supplier that did not exist before.
