Annual cost-downs imposed by OEMs, PPM targets in double digits, EDI call-offs that change weekly, IATF audits: suppliers who don&#8217;t improve faster than their price erosion disappear. Our lean deployments target exactly that equation: OEE on constrained lines (the cheapest capacity you can buy), SMED on changeovers (the flexibility JIT demands), SPC and poka-yoke on quality (major PPM reductions on reference cases). Mission example: a Tier-2 stamping and assembly supplier significantly raised OEE and cut changeovers \u2014 absorbing its customer&#8217;s cost-down without margin loss.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gpoints\">\n<div class=\"gpoint\">\n<div class=\"emo\">\ud83c\udfaf<\/div>\n<h3>PPM &#038;
