infographicTRACC CASE STUDY

Financial gains totalled RMB 500 000 with a three-month return on investment, and SCMC has made an across-the-board decision to also introduce TRACC at the Suzhou and Beijing sites.

Following considerable success at its Dongguan plant, China’s Coca-Cola Supply Chain Management Company (SCMC) decided to introduce TRACC Best Practices to the Xiamen plant.

Improved set-up timedelivers operational success

The plant’s key driver for rolling out TRACC was set-up time reduction. Before the roll-out, product set-up time at Xiamen took approximately 12 hours, which had a negative impact on net time utilisation.

STR adoption was not an easy process. The turning point came when the front-line operators became involved and engaged in the plant-wide CI effort.

This resulted in a highly motivated workforce and significant results were achieved within the first 12 months of implementation.

Set-up time reduction became an internal benchmark for other SCMC sites to follow as the product set-up time dropped from 12 hours to just 4 hours.
