Detailed design review TYLER BRENT BRIDGET EGGERS VALERIA GONZALEZ RICHARD LATHAM
Presentation objectives • Project update • Decide on process improvement activities for Senior Design II • Our goal is to obtain approval for all of the proposed activities and for you to suggest additional solutions • Please ask questions about our proposed solutions to minimize future risks
Frozen cookie production Increase Pre Scale Paper Cut Divide Stage Mix Blast Freeze X-Ray Metal Detect Package Close box Freezer to Ship
A DAY IN THE PROCESS Frozen Cookies Commercial Cookies
Problem Definition Current state • High variability in and around the production line • There is a bottleneck at mixing • Underutilization of resources • Staffing issues • Need for overtime • Lack of standardization • Production delays Target state • Establish synchronized flow between scaling, mixing, dividing, and packaging steps • Increase production capacity • Maximize resources utilization • Reduce/Eliminate the need for overtime • Implement standardized work • Establish schedule flexibility • Track and sustain production system
Project status • Started with customer needs and engineering requirements • Observed and collected data • Brainstormed on possible solutions/concepts based on collected data • Created kaizen activities which include feasible concepts • Prioritized and grouped kaizen activities • Created detailed description of kaizen events • Prove feasibility and practicality of these concepts • Assess and refine solutions • Recommend solutions to customer Senior Design II
SCALING Process current state • Shares station w/ commercial. • Cross-training evident. • 4 AM – Commercial Pre-Scaler comes in. • 11 AM – Frozen Mixer comes in. • Multiple batches are pre-scaled at a time. • Ingredients are stored in multiple locations. • Work in process is not traceable.
Reduce defects on scaling Cookie Pucks no Nuts
Checklist of whether ingredients are there before starting a batch
MIXING PROCESS CURRENT STATE • Shares with commercial. • Deviation between types. • Average cleaning time: 12 minutes • Labor driven process • Actual vs. Scheduled average process time:
DIVIDING process current state • Shared with doughnuts, muffins, etc. • Average actual run time: 2 hrs and 33 mins • Start time: Min 5:49 pm Max 8:14 pm Avg 6:52 pm
