How a Global Pharma Corp Smashed its False Constraints

A Swiss-based global pharma company faced a challenge. Their latest drug had broken all sales records, and three of their chemical plants now produced the active ingredient. Yet, demand still outstripped supply.

The Head of Manufacturing assembled an in-house team to analyse the problem. They recommended building another chemical plant. A multi-million-dollar investment. 

However, having heard of my TYM approach, he asked my opinion.

Analysis and Findings

Despite the complex chemical process, I worked with a team from each plant to analyse the workflow my way. Our findings showed if they optimised their present processes, they could boost production by 40% with minimal costs. 

With further investment of less than a million dollars, they could then increase output by another 40%. To double their current output. And all with 100% Right First Time.

TYM Program Implementation

The company formed a small team to work with me on a ten-week TYM program. We identified necessary steps, assigned responsibilities, and developed an implementation plan highlighting financial and business benefits. 

The board approved our plan, and over the next six months, I guided the team to realise these gains.

Transformative Results

The increase in output allowed the company to fully meet customer demands, reduce unit costs and boost profits. The product became one of the company’s most successful. And they topped industry benchmarks for productivity. 

Within a year, output had increased by 40%. And within three years, had doubled using much the same facilities, and dominated their market sector.

Compelling Conclusion

The success of this project led the Head of Manufacturing to commission me to apply the same TYM approach across all their chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotech facilities worldwide.
