With an engineering-led service based on Gemba Walk principles, you gain clear insights into your assembly environment. You reveal optimization potential in operations, quality and cost, from single fastening applications to entire assembly lines.
Are final quality checks leading to rework in assembly? Could simplifying fastener recess types ease the assembly? Could your assembly process be less costly or time-consuming?
Through a clear, step-by-step approach, we help you validate current practices, uncover improvement opportunities, and turn insights into measurable value.
How We Support You
During an Expert Walk, our engineering experts review your production environment based on the scope you choose. It’s comparable to a Gemba Walk or a shop floor walk, focusing on assembly processes. The focus can include:
Fastening applications and fastener selection
Assembly tools, equipment and tool settings
Assembly processes, workstations and process flow
Use Expert Walk to uncover optimization potential and get a second specialist review of your assembly processes. Gain confirmation that you are on the right track and identify optimal solutions for existing challenges.
