Lean Manufacturing Projects at Stemco
Item
The Problem
Root Cause
Lean Tools
Corrective Action
Results
1
Product placed on hold at Receiving Inspection was left on hold for weeks sometimes months. As a result, thousands of dollars of raw manufacturing sat without disposition
Lack of communication caused manual methods of communication.
Process mapping,
Brainstorming
Affinity Diagram, Priority matrix
DMAIC
Automate "Hold" process to send e-mails to inform all principals when product was placed on Hold. This would include production, purchasing, product engineer, QA and the Supplier
Average Product was disposition in one week instead of 12 weeks
Too many players in the loop to disposition routine rejects
Process mapping, Teams
Give the Quality Engineer more disposition authority for routine disposition. Eliminate Purchasing and Process engineering for most dispositions.
2
Receive defective material at Receiving Inspection which reduced flow and increase cost at Stemco
Lack of communication between Stemco's and the Suppliers about Stemco's requirements.
Process mapping,
Brainstorming
Affinity Diagram, Priority matrix
DMAIC
Conduct design review with supplier; require PPAP submission; review in detail all 8D corrective actions; Initiate Quality Improvement Teams for chronic repeat problems; penalize supplier for poor quality ($100 fee).
Supplier Quality problems drop by 25%
3
Reduce blue seal labeling defects to customer
Not enough printers
Process mapping, Time Study Teams
Add additional printers to blue seal assembly
reduced customer complaints by 10%
4
Reduce hubcap labeling defects to customer
Not enough printers
Process mapping, Time Study Teams
Add additional printers to hubcap assembly
reduced customer complaints by 10%
5
Smaller lots of raw material at Receiving Inspection due to Kan Bans led to more work for hourly Inspectors.

SPC
Revised Receiving Inspection Process to utilize skip lot sampling, smaller samples, no inspection without compromising quality. The new system created levels of certification by part number as the supplier demonstrated and uniformity in each delivery.
Reduced workload at Receiving Inspection by 50%
6
Hubodometer warranty problem resulted in a large percentage of return Hubos from the customer
Sidewall screws were not seated
Teams
Replaced Phillips head screws with torx heads screws to improve engagement between the driver and the screw head which resulted in better torque.
Reduced warranty cost by $50,000 and reduced this defect to 0 defects.
7
Long sample approval times for foreign supplier of seal installation tools
Communication of Stemco's requirements to the Supplier
Process map, Priority Matrix,
Conduct design review with foreign supplier prior to production
Reduced approval time from 24 months to 1 month
