The complexity of aerospace supply chains can create significant challenges in maintaining efficiency and productivity.
A tier 1 aircraft component manufacturer sought to improve operational efficiency at its UK site as part of its end-to-end supply chain optimization, and engaged Unipart to assess performance and recommend improvements.
解决方案
Unipart conducted a comprehensive review of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) processes, which involved up to 1.5 hours of changeover time for every 15 hours of operation. The client aimed to reduce this changeover duration by 30%. Using Unipart’s Changeover Reduction Analysis tool, consultants collaborated closely with the CNC team to perform an in-depth analysis, identifying root causes of delays and inefficiencies.
This structured and collaborative approach enabled a detailed understanding of existing workflows, highlighted areas for optimization, and helped the team recognize waste within the changeover process—fostering shared ownership and driving sustainable improvements.
成果
Based on Unipart’s recommendations, the manufacturer implemented process enhancements that led to measurable gains:
成本降低
通过重新规划工艺流程，预计每年节省成本10万英镑。
换线时间优化
换线时间减少35%，且无需重大资本投入即可实现。
效率提升
设备综合效率（OEE）在原有75%的基础上提升了16%。
项目获得客户高度认可，双方有望进一步合作推进后续战略改进路线图。
