Harris RCS: Reducing waste and costs

The MTC gives aerospace engineering firm Harris RCS Engineering lift off with a range of improvements.

The Challenge

A move to specialise in aerospace engineering brought with it a number of challenges.

• To reduce waste
• To cut costs
• Improve workflow set-up

MTC’s Solution

• Provided an initial ‘walk-the-line’ to assess the company which revealed a ‘bottleneck’ in inspection
• Devised plan to re-configure workflow set up and proposal to either purchase new equipment to ease the ‘bottleneck’ or find alternative solution.

The outcome

• Alternative solution found to the bottleneck without need to purchase new equipment
• Final inspection removed and done in the production process

Benefit to the client

• Improved productivity from streamlined workflow
• Reduction in costs
• Company-whole approach to resolving the issue
