VisualFactory has played a vital role in allowing them to implement a standardized, lean philosophy towards their Work Instructions.

Problem

Volvo Construction Equipment wanted to move with the times in their factory and employ a paperless system for their Work Instructions.

“We were looking for a package with scope to integrate more aspects of our business with one system” explained Manufacturing Engineer, Garry Moore.

“We relied heavily on the use of Microsoft Office products to produce our Work Instructions. This proved time consuming when trying to keep on top of all of the engineering changes that occur in our environment.”

Solution

“We continuously improve the product and we felt that to do this efficiently, the only way forward was a PC-based system to save on time, money and environmental issues” said Garry.

"Introducing VisualFactory was a pleasantly easy experience. The level of assistance from the guys at NoMuda was outstanding and the continuing support offered is second to none."

"Since VisualFactory has been installed here we have developed more in-depth Work Instructions and have been able to implement changes on the spot and ensure our Work Instructions are always up-to-date, eradicating errors."

Benefits

“The benefits of utilising VisualFactory were Instant. The ease on the workload of the process engineers is very notable, allowing for other responsibilities to be given more time.”

“The team at NoMuda are always available and exceptionally helpful, listening to any changes or additions you would like in future updates.”

“Training in the implementation stage is outstanding and the scope for more onsite training is endless.”

“The possibilities are endless with the constant development of new modules – it is truly a one-stop shop for all your lean manufacturing needs.”
