FlexLean is the solution for the Dutch manufacturing industry
For the Dutch manufacturing industry, the FlexLean concept is the solution for maintaining the competitive position with the low wage countries. Hand assembling ensures high production costs, but automation means high development costs that also severely affect production costs. Certainly if a product has a life span shorter than three years.
Produce up to 50% cheaper!
FlexLean is the solution and offers the best in the manufacturing industry the best of both sides; Low production costs (including a new product), no unexpected maintenance costs and all for a fixed amount per month. You are flexible in your production and you have clarity about costs that are also drastically decreasing. We can reduce your production costs by up to 50%. This return depends on; The production numbers, the number of parts of the product and the number of years of production. Combine standard modules with non-standard edits.
Within the concept, a number of standard operations are provided. This involves pressing, screwing, riveting and many other operations. Non-standard edits are integrated as a product-dependent part into the overall assembly concept. In practice it appears that about 20% of the production or assembly line consists of product-dependent parts. However, these parts are purchased by you because there is no reuse value for other companies. For these parts we can offer a financial lease construction, with a 3-year depreciation period.
How does FlexLean work financially?
FlexLean is comparable to renting a car. In advance, agreements are made regarding the duration of the lease contract as well as the expected production figures per year. Based on this data and the size of the installation, a certain monthly fee will be incurred. In addition to providing the installation, we also provide preventive maintenance and repair of malfunctions.
Our cost comparison in advance gives you insight.
- Analysis product(s)
- Capacity
- Production methods (alternatives and resources)
- Cost benefit analysis
The first three steps and part of the fourth step will be carried out using a checklist. The last part of the 4th step consists of a personal conversation, evaluating the checklist and supplementing and updating data, if applicable.
The findings are introduced into the standard FlexLean calculation model with the aim of cost comparison over alternative production methods. This gives you immediate insight. Do you want to know how much you can save on your production costs? Ask us for information.
