2 weeks to plan and execute seamless transition of Boot Kits
24th March 2011
Being responsive to change works both ways, sometimes it means reduced hours and less revenue however, more recently it has meant responding to opportunities.
When challenged with taking over the sequencing of the Boot Kit and picking the re-work part from each sequence, the problem was not the timescale. The main issue was creating the space. However, within a few days the receiving areas within the Rudolph and Hellmann Managed Active Area were re-aligned to accommodate the storing of sequence Boot Kit pallets.
A really critical part of the sequencing was to correctly identify the re-work part in each stillage, then placing these parts on to a separate sequence pallet so that they could later be backfilled in to the original sequence pallet that they came from.
The transition of this new business was seamless, the Managed Activity Area was successfully re-aligned, new processes were wrote, and the implementation of the new sequencing business into the Managed Activity Area was achieved within a 2 week window and has been successfully maintained since.
