DID YOU KNOW ...
P & G is now sharing the manufacturing excellence of IWS with other companies around the world - to improve their supply chain performance - via their partnership with EY .
The alliance between P & G and EY combines their supply chain and manufacturing excellence capabilities to bring a different approach to attaining improved end-to-end supply chain performance and higher levels of manufacturing reliability .
The combination of P & G ’ s IWS program and EY ’ s consultants for implementation ( including smart factory ) is now used in more than 400 non-P & G factories around the world .
“ On one side , we have P & G with multiple decades of mastery in manufacturing , supply chain excellence and operations . On the other side , we have EY who has expertise in delivering global transformation programs . Together we can offer help to other global companies to reach world-class standards ,” said Stawicki .
An example of IWS working in practice is an automotive supplier who implemented it and reduced unplanned stops by 90 per cent and unplanned downtime by 96 per cent .
“ It was so successful that the company decided to roll out the IWS program across all of its sites ,” said Stawicki . “ The important thing to note is this does not have to take a long time . We have a program that enables achieving breakthrough results within the timeframe of 16-20 weeks .
“ Within this timeframe we have multiple examples where companies were able to reduce the unplanned stops by more than 50 per cent and increase the MTBF by a couple of hundred per cent . It doesn ' t have to be a very long journey to see the breakthrough results . It ' s also sector agnostic as it works for automotive , pharma , food companies and heavy industry ,” he said .
