Avon, MA – Team members from Dacon Corporation and AccuRounds recently joined forces in a unique collaborative effort known as the Production Preparation Process (3P) to improve customer satisfaction with the services to be provided in AccuRounds’ new facility in Avon. By refining the details of the new location in the earliest stages of building planning, the pre-planning process will improve the flow of people, materials, information, production and supplies. This allows AccuRounds to achieve its goal of providing customers with exceptional products and services, while eliminating inefficiencies and waste.
Over the course of two days, a cross functional/cross company team that included the presidents of both Dacon and AccuRounds utilized 3P methodologies to evaluate current processes, generate ideas for improvements, and create rapid prototypes of a variety of ideas to test multiple concepts. By the end of the process, small sub-teams had created three distinct building layout options for review by the larger group, as well as by the entire AccuRounds workforce. Next steps include a follow-up session of the 3P participants to further refine the plans, picking and choosing what will work best before construction commences.
