Social distancing will destabilize assembly lines in ways that the industry has never seen. And the impact will be felt in quality.
Social distancing is the right move to protect the health of those on the assembly line.
But the disruptive effect of social distancing will create a perfect storm of challenges — process destabilization, changing business targets, high line associate churn, travel restrictions — that inexorably lead to quality problems.
Looking forward, there will be a rise in quality costs at the worst possible time. Now is the time to be aware — and to get ahead of the crisis.
Topics in this webinar include:
- Analysis of on-the-line challenges that manufacturers face in coming months
- How social distancing will severely constraint indirect labor
- The role of video analytics and video traceability in stabilizing systems
- How to enable remote staff to support on-site colleagues from a distance
- Investments in traceability that greatly reduce exposure to future quality costs
- A demo of Drishti’s technology (for select registrants only)
Use cases in this demo include:
Drishti’s streaming and stored video let you observe the line remotely from any computer or smartphone. You reduce your reliance on travel to the line to save on travel costs, eliminate time spent in transit, cut your carbon footprint and avoid disturbing line associates while they work.
SOURCES OF ROI: Reduced travel costs • Less time spent in transit • Social distancing to protect line associate health
Drishti slashes the time to create training materials, increases the speed and effectiveness of training and lets you use video for spot-training to improve operator adherence to standardized work.
SOURCES OF ROI: Faster and more effective training • Greater resilience to workforce churn • Quicker adjustment of training curriculum to process changes
Drishti’s video traceability lets you isolate the root cause of an anomaly in minutes, instead of hours or days, to quickly identify the minimal countermeasures necessary and scale your capacity for resolving defects.
SOURCES OF ROI: Fewer defects • Reduced scrap costs • Improved engineer and supervisor productivity • Greater adherence to standardized work • Traceability for recall risk mitigation
Drishti’s toolset accelerates the collaboration required during a new product introduction. You’ll use our video traceability, sharing and annotation tools to work out the new process faster while training line associates more thoroughly, even as the process rapidly evolves.
SOURCES OF ROI: Faster time-to-market for new products or line transfers
Drishti analytics tools and services — including AI-powered video analytics — create data and insights for identifying bottlenecks and variability, finding hidden optimization opportunities and rapidly evaluating process iterations.
SOURCES OF ROI: More efficient assembly processes • Reduced production variability • Improved operator engagement •
