3P – or the Production Preparation Process – is a technique used to invent or completely redesign a manufacturing process and build quality into the system. It is the ultimate weapon to integrate:
- Flexibility
- Speed
- Cost Reductions
- Minimal Capital
It is at the core of Freudenberg-NOK’s lean manufacturing practices, used throughout the entire organization.
How does 3P work?
Rather than tweaking an existing shop floor process, we start with a clean sheet of paper. Traditionally, when developing processes, manufacturers tend to concentrate on maximizing the efficiency of existing capital, labor and materials to achieve the lowest cost. With 3P, we turn it around and focus on minimizing the total resources – capital, labor and floor space.
3P provides significant benefits and Freudenberg-NOK is proud to have a production process where quality is world-class and waste is significantly reduced with both achieved at the lowest capital cost.
