Large MNC corporations in Malaysia and China were facing significant challenges in managing their complex operations, including lengthy training periods for new operators to gain specialized skills, non-standard work methods leading to quality issues, poor supervisor-employee relationships causing high turnover rates, and suboptimal work processes. With over 8,000 employees at each site, there was a need for an efficient and effective solution to manage these challenges.
To overcome these challenges and achieve greater efficiency and cost savings, our team provided a 4-month training program on TWI Job Method Improvement, Job Instructions, and Job Relations, coaching several teams in two different sites. Additionally, we conducted a 3-month Train the Trainer program to skill up in-house TWI experts and practitioners.
Through our Lean solutions, we were able to achieve remarkable results. Our interventions ensured that the actual work now complies with SOP by 98%, significantly reducing quality problems caused by non-standard work methods. By eliminating 50% of non-value-adding steps in work processes, we were able to reduce the training and skilling time by 40% for the corporation. Overall, the project has generated cost savings estimated at USD3,000,000 for both sites.
