Start-up and stabilisation of production lines
Relocating or restarting a line is more than putting machines in place. I take responsibility for planning, coordination and stabilisation, until the line produces reliably again.
When is this relevant?
- Relocating a production line to another site or another country.
- A major reorganisation or a new layout.
- Commissioning new machines or a new line.
Approach
- Phased start-up with a clear plan and milestones.
- Alignment between local and international teams, suppliers and management.
- Stabilisation: process parameters, work instructions and training, until output is back at the required level.
- Change management: bringing people along, so the new situation really lands.
Results at Sunningdale Tech, Riga
