Systems Design Review Rotor Cell Productivity Improvement Dresser-Rand Olean, NY January 18, 2013
Project Overview • Improve throughput in Rotor Cell • 3 different deliverables/goals: • Heat Treat Layout and Storage • Balance and Over speed Storage • Lean Principles: Visual Status of WIP and Production • WIP prioritization • What do you want to know about a part on the floor?
Heat Treat Specifications • Constraints • Fit within space: 10’x17’ • Accessible from over-head crane • Accommodate large impellers (80% < 24 inch) (20%>24 inch) • Accommodate high volumes (20-30 impellers) • Load Rated 2,000 lbs per shelf • Goal • Reduce foot print • Utilize vertical space • Storage space for 20-30 impellers • Flexibility in layout for future expansion
Racking Alternative Analysis Keeping Ergonomics in mind, height would be limited to 4 ½ ft
Variations Approximately $3,000 -$5,000 per Rack depending on size and style.
Balance and Over Speed Specifications • Constraints • Accommodate varying balance plate sizes • Fit within current space 12’ x 20’ • Maintain organization methodology (by size) • Make large plates accessible to over-head crane • Space for future plate storage (+10%) • Goals • Implement 5S in design • Reduce foot print • Improve Lay-out • Layout flexibility for future growth
Potential Designs: Minimal Action • Add more shelves to current design. • Layout: • Reposition shelving so shelves are back-to-back • Or Reduce down aisle width • Pro: • Minimal cost • Con: • Visibility/Reaching Parts • Flexibility with layout is constrained by single sided access
Potential Designs: Shelving Tree • Layout: • Modular Shelving Units • Could be arranged in multiple configurations. • Pro: • Accessible from all sides • Easy to relocate • Fits in tight, non-traditional spaces • Reduce down aisle width • Con: • Stability Risk • 5S: Sustaining organization B&OS Pit
Potential Designs: Shelving Tree 2 • Layout: • Modular Shelving Units • Could be arranged in multiple ways. • Pro: • Accessible from all sides • Easy to relocate • Fits in tight, non-traditional spaces • Reduce down aisle width • Con: • Stability Risk • 5S: Sustaining organization
Potential Designs: Vegetable Rack • Layout: Modular Design • Larger Foot-print • Possibly more centrally located • Pros: • High Parts Density • CAD model shows≈108 plates per shelf (6 in. Diameter) • Vertically Stored • 5S: Missing parts are easily identified • Cons: • More parts = Greater Load Rating • Non-mobility Higher Cost (Although Fewer Racks would be needed)
Potential Designs: Vertical Library Stand • Layout: Modular Design • Tighter Footprint • Pros: • High Parts Density • Similar in total storage Density to Vegetable Rack • 5S: Missing parts are easily identified • Shelving bins: size ranges- ascending • Less Leverage on Shelves • Possible adjustable shelf height • Cons: • Accommodating Variable Part Sizes
Visual Lean • Two Possible Goals: • Make the floor look neat and organized • Queuing lanes, Signage, 5S and/or • Implement self managed Inventory Flow • Reduce searching times • Reduce meetings • No communication necessary
Visual Lean • What does management want to know about a part on the floor? • Where is that part going next? • Where is the part in the process? • What machines can a part be run on? • Is the part late or on time? • When is the part due? • Establish priority rules based on the parts status • Operator’s Perspective • What part am I doing next? • What am I running today? tomorrow? • How long of a queue exists at a machine? • Establish specific queuing locations for a machine
Moving Forward • Detailed design review in 4 weeks Heat Treat • Integrate design into new layout • Procurement Procedures for Dresser-Rand B & OS • Design Requirements for Dresser-Rand • Full Implementation Plan Lean (MSDII) • Initiate Information gathering now • Possibly multiple Kaizen events next quarter
