Operator Not Paying Attention
Make steel suppliers in multiple sizes
3 to 4 most common sizes
Continue to order 25 foot sticks for job
shop projects.
Implement Just-In-Time Inventory
Less capital tied up in inventory
Less unused material just laying around
Less Quality Control inspections
Currently QC is done 5 times
QC of Raw Materials
QC after Raw Materials are cut
QC after Machinist makes part
QC after assembly of machinists parts
QC after testing
Cut Quality Control to 3 steps
Inspection of raw materials
Inspection after machinist makes
part
Inspection after testing
Define- Too many defects coming out of Manufacturing.
Measure- We found that most defects were caused by were operator error.
Analyze- What can be done.Purchase new machines that require less
input from operators.Purchase Robotic Machines to do the most
common manufacturing procedures.Establish two man teams.
Improve- Implement one of these
options to increase overall quality.
Control- Continuously monitor new
techniques to ensure quality has
been achieved.
Two man teams have the best chance of
reducing errors without incurring a huge
cost.
The operators can cross check each other’s
work.
The dry run can be signed off by two staff
members to ensure that it is done every time.
Accountability can be established.
