Introduction
At the Manmohan Royal Enfield service center in Chandigarh, BlueVerse has revolutionized the vehicle washing process, increasing throughput by an impressive 60%. Traditionally, the center could manage only 30 bike washes per day, often struggling to meet demand in a time-bound manner. With BlueVerse’s automated solution, they now efficiently handle 50 washes daily, achieving a total of 5,476 bike washes over 251 active days saving 9,98,165 liters of water. This transformation not only improved operational efficiency but also set new standards for sustainable and compliant vehicle washing practices.
Background
The Manmohan Royal Enfield service center in Chandigarh grappled with limited throughput, managing fewer than 30 bike washes per day using traditional manual methods. Frequent turnover of manual labor led to a persistent manpower shortage, directly affecting the ability to maintain consistent service levels and meet customer demand.
BlueVerse’s automated vehicle washing solution transformed operations by delivering consistent wash quality within just 5 minutes per bike. This increased throughput by 60%, enabling the center to wash 50 bikes per day and significantly reduce operational bottlenecks, ultimately delivering higher customer satisfaction.
Challenges
- Operational Inefficiency: Traditional manual washing limited output to fewer than 30 washes per day, creating a bottleneck in service throughput.
- Manpower Shortage: Frequent turnover of manual labor led to a persistent manpower shortage, directly affecting the ability to maintain consistent service levels.
- Throughput Decline: By the end of the day, manpower fatigue led to reduced throughput, as the workforce struggled to maintain the initial pace of work.
- Inconsistent Quality: Manual washing resulted in inconsistent vehicle cleanliness, with the quality deteriorating towards the end of the day due to worker fatigue. Additionally, each wash took approximately 15 minutes, contributing to inefficiencies.
- Non-Compliant Processes: The traditional washing methods did not adhere to regulations concerning water usage limits and proper sludge disposal, posing environmental risks and regulatory challenges.
- Excessive Water Use: Traditional methods consumed large amounts of water, increasing environmental concerns and resulting in high water bills.
- Technical Barriers: Overcoming technical challenges, such as ensuring optimal integration of automated systems and maintaining equipment, was crucial to ensuring seamless operations.
