HUBERT RICHARDSON

CAREER SYNOPSIS

The outline provided below is the method I have used to help Tecumseh

Products become more successful. I believe it is the culmination of my

career experiences.

To manufacture any product you need five things:

1. Complete set of part files accurately describing the parts of

the product.

2. Complete set of Engineering Specifications describing

Engineering Requirements.

3. Complete set of Process Sheets describing how to follow the

Engineering Requirements.

4. Complete set of Operator Instructions describing how to follow

the Process Sheets.

5. A Flow Chart describing the flow of the product through the

plant

Every manufacturing operation needs these five things. Most plants have

parts of the elements. The plant has some of the data, creates some,

ignores some, etc., which leads to poor quality, high cost, poor delivery,

lost customers.

To address these problems I have created three programs:

I. The Zero Imperfections Program (ZIP)

II. The Documentation Rationalization Improvement Program (DRIP)

III. The Flow Loss Analysis Program (FLAP)

The ZIP program works on the premise that data is missing from the five

elements, however, to immediately start improving the operation of the

plant, we can focus on the information that directly affects the quality of

the product delivered to the customer and improve those parts of the five

elements, thereby delivering to the customer product without imperfections.

The DRIP program systematically addresses all the missing and incorrect

data in the five elements. This is very important when you want to

outsource parts of the product. Usually there is significant product

manufacturing knowledge that is undocumented. This will be a problem when

the parts manufactured in India and delivered to the US and will not go

together.

The FLAP program documents the flow of the product through the plant. The

Flow Chart or List documents the steps followed in manufacturing the

product. This data also identifies the value added and non-value added

activities in the plant. The typical plant today is probably operating

between 50% and 70% value added activities. The 30% to 50% non-value added

actives amount to millions of dollars in lost profit. The Flap program

documents the non-valued activities for reduction or elimination.

Therefore, the properly implemented set of the five elements for a given

product will result in:

1. Improved quality

2. On-time delivery

3. Lower internal manufacturing cost

4. Lower external manufacturing cost

5. Improved profit
