  1. “IMPROVING THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE HIGH-VOLUME MULTI-WORK CELL MILLING PROCESS AT THE AMERICAN SAW COMPANY” Senior Project Proposal Presented By: Mark Rumbutis And Katie Jones Advisor: Dr. William Brown

  2. Overview of Presentation • Company History • Definition of Problem • Stacey Milling Machine Video • Approaches to Problem • Deliverables of Project • Initial Work • Stacey Milling Machine Flow Chart • Microsoft Project Schedule • Questions

  3. Company History • American Saw & Mfg. Company began in 1915 • On January 6, 2003 Newell Rubbermaid completed the acquisition of the American Saw Company • Employs over 600 people in over 70 countries around the world • Despite the considerable changes over time, the LENOX® trade name has remained constantly synonymous with quality

  4. Definition of Problem • This project focuses on approaches to improve productivity on the Stacey Milling Machines • Focus will be on improving the internal Milling Machine Process • Improving the consistency of the procedures by standardizing the process • Inconsistency and variance of procedure results in lost time

  5. Stacey Milling Machine Video

  6. Approaches to Problem • Digitally recorded the milling process to determine time standards • Time studies using a stop watch to determine standard work measurements • Creating a computer simulation of the process using Taylor ED • Define and analyzing the problem using the Magnificent Seven Tools

  7. Provide standard set up and operating procedures Financial Impact A solution that will be implemented by LENOX® Saw – Win/Win/Win ABET 8 Economic Concerns and Implications Sustainability Manufacturability Health and Safety Concerns and Implications Social Concerns and Implications Deliverables of Project

  8. Project Status as of December 15, 2003 Defining Variables Milling Cutter Work Vice Stack Height Leveling Knife Video Taping Determined for time studies Developed Flow Chart Project Plan Established Initial Work
