What Our Clients Say

When you have to manage the performance of fifty or so assembly cells, you cannot do so without having a clear vision of the priorities to be set for your teams, and this often starts with identifying the bottleneck of the factory, which everyone can find with a simple spreadsheet and some operation data. After identifying this bottleneck, the most difficult part is to determine everyone's contribution to the expected improvement. Manufacturing teams need to reduce operating losses, and maintenance teams need to improve reliability, but there are also times when cycle times or buffer sizes need to be reduced, which can require decision-making and financial resources. Today, thanks to DispoX and the sensitivity analysis that is included, we can clearly identify our short-term (reliability and maintainability) and medium-term (cycle time, inventory) action plans. Thank you to DILLYGENCE for this user-friendly tool, which also allows us to visualize our factory’s problems on a daily basis.
