Challenges Poclain Hydraulics Faced Before Implementing fabriq
Before fabriq’s arrival, Poclain Hydraulics’ industrial teams conducted their routines and recorded their indicators on paper. The information collected was often lost, and there was no structured way to leverage the data. They began searching for a solution to improve how performance reviews were conducted across their factories. Other challenges raised by the teams included:
- Lack of visibility on performance results and deviations
- Time lost in collecting and inputting data
- Collected data wasn’t being preserved or utilized effectively
- Poor communication between teams and hierarchy levels
- Overload of paper-based processes
Implementing Fabriq Across Poclain Hydraulics’ 8 Sites
fabriq was first piloted at the Verberie site in Picardy. The implementation was quick, and the teams immediately saw the value and benefits of the platform. Poclain Hydraulics then initiated a rollout plan across their 8 factories. Although the deployment began during the height of the COVID period, it was conducted entirely remotely. They successfully deployed the solution on their site in Pondicherry, India entirely from a distance without being physically present. The tool’s implementation was seamless.
- Deployment of fabriq across 8 Poclain Hydraulics sites
- Centralizing, structuring, and escalating information through the different levels of hierarchy
- Creating dashboards for better visibility and tracking of performance indicators
- Automating the collection of performance indicators across all domains (quality, maintenance, etc.) to provide production teams with dynamic visual management interfaces
Adoption of Fabriq by the Verberie Teams and the Benefits Gained
fabriq was quickly adopted by all Poclain Hydraulics industrial sites. The teams found the tool highly intuitive and accessible for all operators and managers. The installation and implementation were agile, allowing the solution to evolve and remain maintainable over time thanks to Fabriq’s continuous improvements. Today, Poclain Hydraulics can no longer imagine operating without fabriq, as it provides significant benefits, including:
- Time savings in execution, data capitalization, and data collection
- Faster and more effective decision-making and action implementation
- Accelerated and streamlined information flow from the shop floor to top management
- Clearer visibility and better analysis of performance results and deviations
Steve Desmaret
Assembly Production Supervisor at Poclain Hydraulics
“It saves us a lot of time and gives us a much clearer view of performance results and deviations. Everything is visible, everything is transparent. For me, it’s truly a communication tool that helps us improve in analyzing gaps.”
Pascal Trilles
Group Continuous Improvement and Quality Manager at Poclain Hydraulics
“We used to lose a lot of time in executing, capitalizing, and collecting data. All that time is now saved thanks to Fabriq. We’re also faster and more efficient in decision-making, action implementation, information sharing, and escalating issues from the shop floor to the plant’s top management.”
