MANUFACTURING: Quality Control Test Reduction A large chemical manufacturer retained MAP’s services to design and implement an automated Quality Data Management System (QDMS) to minimize product testing. Using MAP’s process improvement skills, product testing was reduced by 35%, production cycle times decreased by 15%, and lab technicians’ time reduced by 30%.
MANUFACTURING: Production Process Control And Critical Parameter Monitoring One of the leading producers of medical-grade and non-medical grade plastics retained MAP’s services to enhance their HMI/SCADA system with on-line statistical process control. This real-time process monitoring system enabled our customer to make process adjustments that reduced rework and scrap, resulting in over $200,000 in savings.
SERVICES: Product Ordering and Distribution System One of the largest HMOs retained MAP’s services to document their existing contact lens order and distribution process, to identify cost savings opportunities, and to create a model that would quantify the cost savings associated with implementing the "new" process. The new business model highlighted efficiency improvements that enabled our client to increase their profit margin by 8% per order, without increasing prices. The implementation of the new process ultimately resulted in a savings of over $1 million dollars per year.
SERVICES: Quality Management System Design and Implementation MAP designed and implemented Quality Management Systems in one of the world’s largest eyeglass manufacturing facilities, located in North America. This project focused on reducing variation within the client’s manufacturing process which resulted in an annualized cost savings $400-600,000 per year.
FOOD: Multi-Million Dollar Cost Savings for Snack Food Processor A multi-billion dollar food manufacturer retained MAP’s services to analyze their production process. MAP was able to pinpoint and quantify over $5M dollars of savings on a single food processing line. This client is now working with MAP to implement these changes.
FOOD: Multi-Million Dollar Savings for Snack food Producer A leading supplier for snacks retained MAP’s service to develop a customized software application for monitoring their "chips" manufacturing lines across multiple facilities. This software allowed the client to better control their processes, formulas, and production, ultimately resulting in substantial savings (millions - unpublished due to confidentiality).
