In response to shifting demands, we underwent a paradigm shift and embraced Lean Manufacturing, recognizing its pivotal role in effectively addressing evolving requirements.
Being a manufacturer specializing in sheet metal, forged, and machined components, we made a strategic decision to invest substantially in our workforce and processes. In 2017, King Group was honoured with a Workforce Training Grant by the Ministry of Commerce, India, acknowledging our commitment to implementing Lean Manufacturing principles throughout our operations.
Driven by our ambitious vision to establish a manufacturing facility of unparalleled excellence on a global scale, we embarked on a challenging journey. We dedicated over 600 hours to train our workforce, revamped our manufacturing processes, and made substantial investments in cutting-edge equipment.
Our unwavering dedication to Lean programs drives constant improvement within our operations, delivering substantial advantages to our esteemed customers. Our quality system, on-time delivery, efficient quick turn production utilizing flexible manufacturing cells, and optimized inventory management of large production runs all contribute to these significant benefits.
To better respond to demands, we scrutinized every facet of our operation, seeking transformative changes in layout and processes to enhance flexibility and drive efficiencies. The outcome was a comprehensive revamp of our shop layout, featuring cross-trained teams operating within Flexible Manufacturing Cells. This approach significantly reduces machine setup time and product cycle times. By co-locating traditional work centres within these Manufacturing Cells, we achieved remarkable improvements in flexibility. This newfound flexibility has brought multiple benefits to our customers, while also providing us with a strategic roadmap for future success, centred around delivering exceptional value to our esteemed clientele.
Just-in-time manufacturing and Kanban programs are integral to Lean manufacturing and flexible Cellular Manufacturing. At King Group, we prioritize the establishment of a comprehensive system, spanning from vendor delivery programs for raw materials and components to customer-oriented Kanban programs. We collaborate closely with our customers to develop optimal manufacturing plans, encompassing everything from prototyping to adapting to evolving product life cycles. Our approach begins with Design for Manufacture and extends to Design for Production planning, wherein we meticulously analyse product demand, leverage manufacturing best practices, and align specific manufacturing cell capabilities. This ensures the efficient and flexible production of parts and projects within an optimized manufacturing environment.
Additionally, King Group has already initiated training programs on loT and aims to implement these technologies within the next year.
