6. Scale Up
7. Optimize the Process
When pilot testing is complete, you
can apply what was learned to formal
implementation, which includes
training your workforce, adding
additional lines, and producing
product.
Refine the automation program
There are two components to refining
your automated processes over time:
(1) correcting any problems that occur
and (2) constantly looking for ways
to make a process better or more
efficient� For example, cutting just
one or two seconds out of a process
can add up to a surprising amount of
savings�
Measure your success
Automation lends itself very well
to measurement, especially using
methodologies such as Six Sigma and
lean manufacturing� Just be sure to
choose what you measure carefully—
you want the metrics to matter� Your
automation vendor should be there to
assist you in refining your automation
program on an ongoing basis�
