The challenge

Operational losses were visible, but the plant needed a structured way to identify causes, implement improvements and see whether performance was changing across production lines.

What LUKiN did

  • Worked with operational teams to identify the sources of inefficiency
  • Structured the change around practical improvements in day-to-day work
  • Defined the measures needed to track performance
  • Designed and deployed a KPI tracking system across production lines
  • Used live performance visibility to support follow-through

The result

The initiative reduced operational inefficiency by 47%. The KPI system gave the plant a clearer and more immediate view of production performance so improvements could be monitored rather than assumed.
