Case Study: Saab Seaeye achieves right-first-time quality and slashes rework costs with NoMuda VisualFactory

Saab Seaeye slashes rework costs from £268,000 to £52,000 with NoMuda VisualFactory

Saab Seaeye, the world's largest manufacturer of electric remotely operated vehicles, faced a challenge with its production process. The company was heavily reliant on the undocumented knowledge of experienced operators, which was often kept in personal notebooks. This made training new staff difficult and led to inconsistent productivity and quality. To address this, Saab Seaeye implemented the VisualFactory solution from NoMuda.

Using NoMuda's VisualFactory to create detailed digital build instructions, Saab Seaeye gained consistent control over its product build process and quality. This resulted in a dramatic reduction in rework costs, which were slashed from £268,000 to £52,000 in the first year, with 85% of that fall attributed to achieving right-first-time quality. Projections indicate these costs will fall further to £28,000 in the following year.
