1. Improving production planning: Colarity identified production planning as a key issue in the company’s manufacturing processes. We recommended that Manufacturing Company Y implement a standardized production planning process that would involve setting clear production goals, creating production schedules, and ensuring that all resources were available for production.
2. Optimizing production processes: Colarity identified several areas where production processes could be optimized to improve efficiency. This would involve eliminating bottlenecks, simplifying workflows, and reducing production waste.
3. Enhancing quality control: Colarity identified quality control as a major issue in the company’s manufacturing processes. We recommended that Manufacturing Company Y implement a quality control program that would involve conducting regular audits, providing training to staff, and creating a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
4. Streamlining supply chain management: Colarity identified supply chain management as another area where Manufacturing Company Y could improve their processes. We recommended that the company streamline their supply chain by working closely with suppliers, optimizing inventory management, and improving communication.

We worked with the manufacturing team to design and implement these changes over a period of nine months. The new processes were communicated to all employees through training sessions, policies and procedures manuals, and online resources. Colarity also provided ongoing support to the manufacturing team to ensure the success of the new processes.

The results of the process design consulting were impressive. Within nine months, Manufacturing Company Y saw a 20% increase in production efficiency, a 15% reduction in manufacturing costs, and a 30% improvement in product quality. The implementation of a standardized production planning process and a quality control program helped to improve overall consistency and reliability of the company’s products.
