DIKAR: Evolving towards Operational Excellence

With more than five decades of history, DIKAR has established itself as a benchmark in the manufacture of products for sport hunting and shooting. Committed to moving towards a more agile, efficient and flexible management model, the company partnered with ASENTA to develop an ambitious transformation programme.

The company’s starting point was the need to:

• • Improve material flow on the shop floor
• • Reduce production times
• • Increase responsiveness without compromising quality

To this end, a transformation programme focused on operational excellence was designed, aligned with the specific characteristics of the business and with strong involvement from the people in the organisation.

The process drew on advanced methodologies such as:

1. A Kaizen daily management routine for systematic performance monitoring.
2. One-piece flow to promote smooth flow across production processes.
3. Optimisation of internal logistics, enabling greater synchronisation between areas.

The transformation has enabled DIKAR to evolve its management model, consolidate a culture of continuous improvement and be better equipped to meet the challenges of its sector. Today it is a reference case for its ability to combine experience, innovation and methodology.
