10. Case Study
TES implemented new line layouts, workload leveling and standardized work to
increase productivity and throughput at Eclipse Aviation to help improve order to
delivery for their customers.
A list of 42 high impact suppliers were analyzed in six weeks and TES engaged with
key suppliers to break constraints and improve throughput
TES developed a line simulation, accounting for the measured variability and then
developed an optimal layout solution
Eclipse was able to increase throughput from 1 aircraft every 54 days to 1.5
aircraft per day, despite supplier shortages
“Tactical did outstanding work at Eclipse and we’re grateful for the hard work and great results.”
- Todd Fierro - VP of Manufacturing
11. Case Study
TES rebalanced the production and sub-assembly areas, integrated a complete
warehouse management and MRP system to their existing ERP system.
The main production line was rebalanced resulting in an increase in capacity of
approximately 35% with only a 5% increase in operator requirements.
Integrated a warehouse management system utilizing WIFI bar code scanners,
increasing inventory accuracy from 83% to almost 96%, reducing time to record
serial and lot number and decreasing the headcount in the warehouse by 20%.
Implemented an MRP system allowing for a decrease in raw material and work in
process inventory of over $7 million.
