Design SummaryDesign Summary
Improve safety and increase plant capacity by
relocating weld booths off of the Final Packaging floor
Standardize weld booths for increased productivity
Redesign the Hydrostatic Testing area to ensure
worker safety
Reduce Consignment inventory
Develop standard work for the weld stick ordering
procedure

Plant Layout Status Update Most equipment and material has been ordered;
remaining are in quote processes
Changes have been made resulting from floor
personnel input
Planned completion date end of third quarter 2009
Maintenance department has started required
departmental improvements
Electrical Drops
8
Weld Booth Layout Status Update
No longer need to dig
trenches as work benches
have been reoriented
Rollers have been received
Weld curtain framework has
been received
Welders have chosen
personal booths
9
Hydrostatic Table Status Update Waiting on second quote for safety cage
6S executed on flange inventory
Gauge board components have been quoted
Gauge board placed on order from weld shop
16
Benefits Quick, visual way to identify what needs to be ordered
Responsibility falls in one individual’s hands
With correct buffer and safety stocks, weld sticks will
never run out
Reduced number of weld sticks on hand
Eliminate need for expedited orders
Less time and resources needed to maintain the
system
18
Needs Reduce consignment footprint to make use of the
space in alternative ways
Determine part usage
Eliminate parts and empty shelves

Barriers
Barrier Contingency
Additional software might be needed Develop or purchase software necessary
Workers may still not check out partsControlled gate access or stricter
policies
Positives
Automated ordering
No need to manually input information
Information sent directly to supplier and Wendy
Shorter lead time (Real-time update)
Less time and effort to check out
Better part availability
Robust technology
Easy implementation
Negatives

Risks
Risk Contingency
Workers will want lottery tickets for other process
they are expected/paid to do
Workers will be verbally positively reinforced by
management when they are seen following
procedures.
Workers will fill out multiple cards when only one
needs to be
If it is determined that this is occurring, the person(s)
will not be allowed to win for X days/weeks.
Only pipe fitters will be receiving lottery ticketsPut reward on other systems to benefit welders, test,
etc.
Performance Management Process
Product Process: Consignment Check Out Location: Piping and Packaging
Owner: Dave Thompson & RIT Team Date: April 2009
Positives
Improves conformity of workers to the consignment check out process. Yellow cards filled out more frequently/correctly will improve:
Visibility of inventory Assurance that customer’s parts are going to the proper skids
Workers will gain a feeling that their work is being noticed and appreciated. It is a low cost solution to help combat a high cost problem.
Negatives
Not 100% accurate Consignment data must be recorded twice Slow process
25
Product Process: Consignment Checkout Location: Piping and Packaging
Owner: Dave Thompson and RIT team Date: April 2009
Material Handler Process
1. Walk loop and collect consignment orders at the same time, delivers consignment parts to workers, and deliver parts between welders and pipe fitters
2. Tracks consignment levels as parts leave the consignment area
Costs
Item Total
1 Worker’s Salary $15 / hour
Kanban Post $1000

Barriers
Barrier Contingency
Potentially a bottleneckConduct up front study to evaluate
conveyance time
Positives
Helps prevent missing parts by having a single worker responsible for checking out
parts
Eliminates welder and pipe fitter downtime associated with travel
Real time data tracking eliminates the lag between running out of parts and placing
the order for more
Creates a proactive approach to ordering necessary parts
Negatives
Additional personnel
Additional information flow (request for parts made)
27
Case Hydro – System Needs Primary Needs
Incorporate HAZOP recommendations to improve safety
Improve control layout
Improve Standard Operating Procedure Documentation
Analysis:
Reviewed the current procedural documentation and made
suggestions about possible improvements
Developed several concepts that implement safety components into
two mechanical systems involved in case testing: Hydro and Air
Compared and weighted the concepts to determine an ideal design
for the given application

Objective Project EvaluationObjective Project Evaluation Design Strengths
Successfully moved 9 welders out from under a 250 ton overhead crane
Designed new safety cage for the Hydrostatic Testing table
Improved final packaging capacity by 33%
Design Weaknesses
The original intent was to develop lean improvements at little or no cost
The full extent and the results of the changes to be implemented can not yet be
proven
Potential Future Projects
Analysis of the advantages/disadvantages of having a dedicated conveyance
operator in the Consignment cage
Development of a barcode or other tracking system for parts in Consignment
Further consignment inventory reduction and thorough analysis of part re-order
points
