  1. Making it Meaner and “Leaner”! A presentation by: Thomas L. Fielding No part of this presentation, documentation or photographic display may be replicated/duplicated in part or whole. All contents protected and registered as an asset of the US East O.S.D.

  2. The Current State • In the current state, there are several flaws and wastes which exist. • Damaged parts (defects or existing) • Poor Communication (shop vs. office) • Wasted Time (time spent cleaning and working scrap parts) • No Operator Involvement in Control of Bad or Damaged parts.

  3. The Product • This is a T53 Engine • One of our more basic engine service types.

  4. The Defect(s)

  5. The Old/Current Method(s) • In the Current State, there are only three (3) people whom may deem a part unfit for service and/or scrap. • Inspectors / NDI Inspectors Level II or III • Engineering • Quality Assurance Manager

  6. The Plan • The plan is to approach this issue at a shop level and work at tackling incoming parts that exhibit damage or defects which should be stopped and removed. • Full involvement from all departments including Production Management and Shop Support is required (and has been approved).

  7. How to? • The issue of how to approach this situation was discussed amongst the several department heads and ownership at a meeting after this project had begun the planning stages. • Ultimately it was decided that Operators needed the ability and criteria to reject or stop parts with defects and flaws.

  8. Implementation! • In the pursuit of tackling our objectives, we brought about several changes including standardized part checks and criteria for operators. • Defect checks (serious, extensive, “hidden” damage) • Three Documents were drawn up in order to record and handle these issues.

  9. Okay… So I made a slide to remind myself! • Hand out the papers to show what they are. • Documents are property of GTCT L.L.C. • DO NOT COPY!

  10. Future State (Expected to become Current by New Years!) • At this point, our goals are in the works of reaching fruition and we have handled several test pieces admirably. • The idea at this time is to have approximately 95% of all damaged components removed and/or identified prior to inspection.

  11. Future State (yea… It’s a second slide!) • Other goals include training and further clarification of approaches to be used • Controlling damaging factors be it external (shipping company?) or internal (accidental damage?) • Managing and Recovery of parts if possible.

  12. The End! • Thanks for your attention. You may applaude or boo at this point.
