There are two goals I always focus on with manufacturing processes that go hand and hand with each other. Increasing and stabilizing predictability of outcomes within our processes - by increasing predictability, we have a better understanding of what's happening in our processes from day-to-day, making tweaks and improvements to our systems much more digestible to further increase quality and scale. The second goal is to reduce operator burden of manual tasks that prevent them from being to focus on value-add critical tasks. This doesn't always mean automation. Typically for us, it's removing processes that transfer material manually or adjusting equipment constantly for the condition of run parameters. The more we remove these wasteful tasks the better value-add efficiency we can create for our operations team.
