Description (French)
Ce projet est une combinaison de développement d'outils de prévision de la demande et de reconception du système de fabrication et de mise en œuvre de principes de production allégée. Il s'agit d'une amélioration de la productivité et d'une réduction des stocks en éliminant toutes sortes de déchets et d'inefficacités dans le processus et le système de fabrication. Ce projet se concentrera sur deux domaines clés : 1) la réduction des stocks : analyser l'inventaire actuel et ses données dans le système de PRE pour mieux planifier et réduire les stocks, 2) l'amélioration de la productivité et la réduction des coûts : identifier les inefficacités, les goulots d'étranglement et les problèmes en effectuant une cartographie de la chaîne de valeur (CCV). Le PARI fournira à Hi-Kalibre les ressources nécessaires pour atteindre l'objectif de son projet : 1) un spécialiste en inventaire ou un analyste de données (à temps plein), 2) un ingénieur en fabrication sans gaspillage (temps plein) et 3) un consultant en fabrication sans gaspillage. Ce projet réduira les coûts d'exploitation de Hi-Kalibre et augmentera sa compétitivité, ce qui permettra à l'entreprise d'être en meilleure position.
