Summary
The Innovative Total Optimization project will be led by the company’s president, Eisaku Ito, and will take place at the company’s Takasago Machinery Works in western Japan, where the firm has reviewed more than 1,000 processes across procurement, assembly, testing, and design. According to the company, the initiative seeks to improve efficiency in gas turbine combined-cycle systems and reduce the growing order backlog. The streamlining effort has seen the company separate its assembly lines for different turbine models and reduce machinery changeovers, which it claims could support roughly 30 percent higher production levels with limited additional investment.
