Case Study: Epiroc achieves more consistent builds and fewer defects with NoMuda VisualFactory

Epiroc cuts defects and targets 10% lower man-hours with NoMuda VisualFactory

Epiroc, a manufacturer using a 'low volume, high mix' assembly method, faced challenges with inconsistent and time-consuming paper-based work instructions. Their process relied heavily on experienced operators' memory, leading to variable quality and inefficient training. They turned to NoMuda and its VisualFactory MES software to bring consistency to their operations.

NoMuda VisualFactory was integrated with Epiroc's ERP to create standardized, intuitive digital work instructions. This solution brought a consistent build sequence, improved quality, and reduced defects. Epiroc is expecting at least a 10% reduction in man-hours, and 70% of their production now uses VisualFactory to ensure right-first-time quality and operator efficiency.
