MES Lean Improvements

The lean improvements team at Dover encompasses two functions within the same specialised department. As a team we all have responsibility for the Megger Excellence System (MES), which helps departments to track the performance of their KPI’s and assists them with making improvement suggestions or to overcome problems with production. As the name suggestions we look after lean aspects of the factory, which is to make our operations faster, more efficient and with reducing movement. All of this is done with quality of our products in mind. The other side of this department is to look after Industrial Engineering, which is productions’ own support for process problems, jigs and fixtures, chemical applications and getting the right tool or machine to do the job. The Industrial Engineers often require input from the design Engineering team to confirm problems and then leave it to Engineering to design them out.
