Case Study: Saab Seaeye reduces rework costs with NoMuda VisualFactory

Saab Seaeye - Customer Case Study

Saab Seaeye, the world's largest manufacturer of electric remotely operated vehicles, faced a challenge with its reliance on individual operator knowledge for building products. This led to inconsistent quality, difficult training for new staff, and the risk of losing expertise when employees left. The company turned to the vendor NoMuda and implemented its VisualFactory solution to take control of work instructions and standardize the build process.

By using NoMuda's VisualFactory to create digital and consistent build instructions, Saab Seaeye was able to resolve problems quickly and control its production quality. The measurable impact was a dramatic reduction in rework costs, which fell from £268,000 to £52,000 in the first year, with a further drop projected. NoMuda's solution was directly credited with helping the company achieve an 85% improvement in right-first-time quality.
