Tony STArk never stops improving his Iron Man armor, making him faster and more efficient. Here at STA, José Fonseca and Ricardo Oliveira treat their grinding robots like real Tony STArk’s.
The robots fulfilled their function; however, our perfectionist superheroes were certain they could do more, with better quality and in less time. This idea moved them toward the success of their Continuous Improvement project.
A synergy between their department and Foundry caused a reduction of the defects which, downstream, made it possible to optimize the work of the robots: increasing speed and reducing waste achieved an improvement of 107 hours/year.
Guess what... they keep counting!
And that's how our heroes made their workplace a much more productive place!
Congratulations José and Ricardo!
