Lean / Continuous Improvement at ThyssenKrupp

Lean ...
The method of reducing cost and increasing profit using a set of principles and techniques designed for a relentless pursuit of waste and the elimination or reduction of it.

Produces an efficient just-in-time production system, that will deliver to our customers
exactly what they need
when they need it
in the quantity they need
in sequence
without defects
and at the lowest possible cost.
Standardized processes are the basis of Continuous Improvement
Specific tasks are defined as the best way to get the job done in the amount of time available while ensuring the job is done right the first time, every time.
Sequenced steps for an operation make errors visible.
Reduction in variation, established times for each operation, agreed upon quantity of work in process and documentation ensures stability.
Best practices are identified to remove waste from processes.

Efficiency Improvement Using Mixed Reality

2018
We’ve partnered closely with thyssenkrupp since the very early days of HoloLens, jointly developing mixed reality solutions that could be implemented at scale. First, in the earliest iterations of Dynamics 365 Remote Assist, they were able to drastically improve response time, increase efficiency and raise elevator uptimes for many of their 24,000 thyssenkrupp elevator-service engineers by providing hands-free remote assistance — the length of their service calls was reduced fourfold. We continue to work closely with thyssenkrupp on current and future Dynamics 365 mixed reality applications as well as extending existing custom applications into broadly available solutions.

For example, thyssenkrupp has recently announced the broad rollout of HoloLinc, a first-of-its-kind, fully digitized sales process for the stair lift industry. After a pilot in The Netherlands with more than 300 successful installations to date, the HoloLinc solution is being rolled out from this month onward in the U.K., Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and France, with Norway and Japan to follow next year.

The rollout on a global level is seen as a major milestone in mass industrialization innovation. To date, thyssenkrupp Elevator has equipped 120 salespeople with the HoloLinc toolkit, which comprises a Microsoft HoloLens, a tablet, a portable printer, and other technical accessories. What’s most exciting is that HoloLinc improves a process for customers who need it most, as mobility issues have a huge impact on quality of life. By using mixed reality, a process which formerly took around 40 to 70 days can now be done in just 14 days. Now that is true digital transformation of a long-standing process!
