OPTIMIZATION OF
PRODUCTION CONTROL
As part of the Group’s efforts to adapt its organization
to new digital standards, the LISI MEDICAL division has
launched a project to optimize production control in its
factories by deploying the Manufacturing Execution
System (MES). This IT tool for managing industrial
processes can be used to reinforce the control of the
different stages of production, as well as to enhance
responsiveness and performance. By making accurate
and reliable information available to all, this system
enables the real-time monitoring of production data and
performance indicators of autonomous production units.
Two factorieswere connected to the system in 2018. Three
others will be in 2019.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
COON RAPIDS
TO LEAP STANDARDS
Integrated in the LISI MEDICAL division at the time of the
acquisition of Remmele in 2016, the American site of Coon
Rapids, which specializes in the production of screws
and plates for trauma and spine, has been completely
revamped. The plant, which employs 130 people, has
been reorganized to the standards defined in the LISI
Excellence Achievement Program (LEAP). The renovation
of the buildings was supplemented by the upgrade of the
visual management and the full reorganization of the
workshops on the model of the Autonomous Production
Units (APU) and the Autonomous Production Groups (APG).
The principle of Problem Solving Management (PSM)
meetings was set up in order to anchor the site closer to
the field and boost its daily schedule. The deployment of
lean management tools associated with LEAP (5S, SMED,
VSM, etc.), started 2 years ago, will end in 2019.
