LEAN RESULTS

Pull System

Led an initiative to implement a pull system for over 800 SKUs into the Investment Casting cell by taking ERP (Oracle) inventory reports and pulling the data in excel to act as “pull” or electronic Kanban.

Foundry Service level increased from 92% to 98%

Productivity increased from 78% to 83%

Lead time was reduced by 5 days

OT was reduced by $75,000 per year

4 Step Cell

Led (2) week-long kaizens to implement (2) 4 step cells in the Mold Injection department of the Foundry. With a 40 second cycle time, the team eliminated much of that waste by integrating the next operation of assembly into a standard process.

Productivity increased by 43%

Lead time through Wax reduced from 2 days to 12 minutes

Standard work created

Increase of employee engagement by adding influential operators to kaizen team

FIFO Visual Management System/Connected WIP process

Simultaneously led 2 lean projects to help reduce lead time. One project created a labeling system for all cases using colors and week schemes to make it clearly visible of which case is the oldest to the operator. The second project created a mini “pull system” through 70% of the value stream where work was not allowed to be performed unless operators had an empty transportation cart to move their WIP to, which had to come from downstream operations.

Lead time was reduced by 5 days to 10 days on average
