Hot end audits — independent, vendor-neutral, IS-machine deep.
IS machines, gob delivery, forehearth conditioning, swabbing, mould cooling, hot-end coating, ware handling — diagnosed end to end.
What this service does.
Most "audits" are sales calls in disguise. Ours are not. We don't sell IS machines, furnaces, or inspection equipment. We walk your hot end, read your data, talk to your crews, and hand you a punch list ranked by EBITDA impact.
Why plants choose this service.
Vendor-neutral by design
No equipment to sell. No commissions. No conflict of interest. Findings only — ranked by impact, effort and time-to-fix.
Operator-grade depth
Gob delivery, IS machine timing, mould cooling, forehearth conditioning, hot-end coating, ware handling — every checkpoint that matters, none that don't.
EBITDA-ranked output
Every finding scored against pack rate, OEE, defect reduction and dollars recovered. Boards understand it. Floors can act on it.
What you get.
How it runs.
Remote Data Review
We pull 90 days of defect, downtime, speed and changeover data before arriving — so day one starts with hypotheses, not questions.
On-Site Audit
Five days on the floor across crews and shifts, covering gob delivery, IS machines, conditioning, coating, ware handling and lehr.
Findings Workshop
Variance map, prioritised punch list and KPI uplift forecast walked through with leadership and the floor.
90-Day Support
Optional follow-on where we coach against the action plan and track the KPI tracker we built.
Questions, answered.
No. Lean Glass is vendor-neutral. We have no equipment to sell, no OEM partnerships, no commissions. Our findings are operational, not commercial.
Yes. Every engagement runs under your NDA and we align with your safety and data policies before we set foot on site.
Most plants see measurable movement on defect rate and jam-ups within 30 days. Full stabilisation depends on how many shifts adopt the new standards.
