Since its creation in 2009, SA2M has positioned itself as an innovative SME in the field of aluminum profile processing. With 36 employees and operations across several industries (urban furniture, railways, electronics, military), the company regularly engages in continuous improvement initiatives. One of SA2M’s most significant recent transformations involved the implementation of KEYPROD units—a decision that marked a qualitative leap in production management.
A clear drive for modernization
Confronted with fragmented and imprecise productivity data, SA2M opted to deploy KEYPROD solutions across all its machines. This deliberate choice aimed to involve all employees in a collective performance dynamic while obtaining accurate data on downtime, adjustments, cleaning, and other non-productive times.
Impressive results
The adoption of KEYPROD quickly paid off: the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) jumped from 40–45% to 75–76%. Even more impressively, SA2M managed to remove one machine from the workshop while increasing production capacity, thanks to improved organization and reliable data for sequencing operations.
Strengthened company dynamics
The impact went beyond technical performance. The entire staff quickly embraced the tool, feeling genuinely involved in the improvement process. The concrete and accessible data also helped guide the company’s strategic decisions.
A showcase of trust for clients
During factory tours, clients often inquire about the digital devices visible on the workstations. By discovering the interface, graphs, and operator involvement, they gain confidence in an organization that clearly masters its workflow.
