Find out how kaizen has helped Siemens boost the number of magnets produced per employee by 100% and make sweeping reductions in inventory value.
The plant supplies magnet technology to life saving MRI scanners and a stunning improvement effort helped the site to a Best Factory Awards double two years ago. Over 70 lean projects have saved more than 7,500 hours in production time since 2009. The campaign has delivered six figure cost savings and helped Siemens pay back on the significant capital investment required to develop magnet technology. Half of the overall savings have been distributed back to employees through a recognition based reward scheme. The employees have earned every penny with staff suggestions netting a £4.4 million saving and counting.
