P09713 – FRESH BREAD AND ROLL SCALING ROOMCustomer Needs and Product Specifications Senior Design I: Winter 2008-2009 Cecilia Enestrom, Kate Gleason, Erik Webster, Grant Garbach, Andrew Tsai
Customer Needs: Area Layout • Long-term storage area • Short-term storage area • Reduce operator travel distance by combining the short-term storage and scaling locations • Document and implement the improved layout
Customer Needs: Process Improvement • Gain a firm understanding of the current process through value stream mapping • Reduce overall process cycle time • Eliminate double handling of materials • Combine the initial and final scaling operation • Determine and reduce current shrink • Determine future state value stream map and inventory management plan based on the improved layout design • Implement a Lean initiative for future improvement
Customer Needs: Ergonomics • Work with and assist the existing Wegmans ergonomics team • Ergonomics evaluation of the current process • Eliminate the need to manually lift and manipulate 50-lb bags of dry ingredients and scaling buckets • Create documentation outlining acceptable work procedures • Implement solutions
Customer Needs: Equipment • Equipment for sifting and screening dry ingredients • Research and design the necessary equipment • Improve product quality while maintaining the current process time and ergonomics • Properly document all equipment specifications and procedures • Implement the equipment
Specifications: Area Layout • Volume of short-term storage area (ft3) • Volume of long-term storage area (ft3) • Transport distance from short term storage to the scaling area (ft) • Transport distance from long-term storage to short-term storage (ft)
Specifications: Process Improvements • Process Cycle Time (minutes) • Process Steps (count/cycle) • Shrink (material loss from process start to process end in lbs)
Specifications: Ergonomics • Manual lifting and manipulating of scaling buckets per shift • Manual lifting and manipulating of ingredient bags per shift • Noise exposure per shift • Reported safety incidents and injuries (count/year translated to $$)
Specifications: Equipment • Product quality by defective batches (count/time) • Composed of a non-contaminating material such as stainless steal or nylon • Must follow FDA Regulations • Process time (minutes)
