TRESPA’S 98% RELIABILITY OF SUPPLY WITHIN CONFIRMED LEAD TIMES ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY DEPARTMENTS WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER. PLANNING, PRESSES AND PLANNING WAREHOUSE & SHIPPING HAVE FOCUSED ON COOPERATION, CONSISTENCY AND ONGOING IMPROVEMENT, RESULTING IN OVERALL EXCELLENCE. HOW HAVE THEY REACHED THIS? PLANNER HANS GROELS, PRODUCTION OPERATOR BART PEETERS AND PLANNER WAREHOUSE & SHIPPING EMIEL OP HEIJ SHARE THEIR INSIGHTS, BEST PRACTICES AND IDEAS GOING FORWARDS. HANS GROELS PLANNER “Our seven planners coordinate activities across tra c management, purchasing, production and other departments. We ensure each order reaches its destination in time. In case there’s any risk of materials being late, we adapt our planning. If suppliers experience di culties or clients place emergency orders, we immediately work out how to tackle this and manage expectations.” “A ‘helicopter view’ is vital, as are good communications skills and diplomacy. Occasionally, you have to make instant decisions and it’s vital everyone understands why. In the ten years I’ve been here, we’ve paid a great deal of attention in communicating with other departments, so we know exactly which challenges they face and how we can help them with our expertise. We’re also always looking for ways of further optimizing processes.” BART PEETERS PRODUCTION OPERATOR “We take care of the very last stage of production, including everything from work permits to machine repairs, from researching quality issues to supporting capacity planning. We provide safety training and tours for new operators. We carry out full weekly inspections, checking everything from chemical storage to the availability of earplugs. Anticipating, an analytical approach and knowledge of di erent aspects of manufacturing process are vital. Safety and common sense are paramount.” “My role is to supervise, make sure everything runs smoothly, and solve any issues. I started in 2005 as an operator, moving up through the ladder. e focus used to be on production volume, but in recent years, more attention is paid to automation and process e ciency.” STRENGTHENING TRESPA’S RELIABILITY OF SUPPLY “An e ective approach for timely deliveries.” “Safety above all.” 36 Trust Trespa
