The Great Cookie Crisis – 2006Utilizing the Tools of Quality in PIM Performance Improvement Brian KoenigCPIM The Elmore Institute LLC Doug Brandt CPIM, CIRM Armstrong Air Conditioning
Engaged in Improvement??? “How many agree that the vast majority of the workforce in your organization possess far more talent, intelligence, capability and creativity than their present jobs require or even allow?” Stephen Covey The 8th Habit – From Effectiveness to Greatness
The Great Cookie Crisis • Problem Solving Methodology • Process Control – Predictability & Stability • Scientific Method – Hoshin Planning / Policy Deployment • Tools of Quality Which tool, when, how and why? • Long Term – Process Improvement • Medium Term - Problem Solving • Short term - Daily Manufacturing Process Control • Ottawa Baking • Toledo - 400,000 per week • Atlanta - 250,000 per week
What issues hinder our success?? Corrective Action & Help!!! Continuous Improvement from optimizing Effectiveness and Efficiencies?
5 Step – Methodology 1. Define current process / problem. 2. Define future process / goal. 3. Analysis of data and alternate solutions. 4. Selection and implementation of solutions. 5. Verification of results / future condition.

The MeetingApril ‘05 • Veronica’s office – Rainy Tuesday morning • Quality Issues • Lost 3 of 10 largest customers in since last fall. (quality?) • Quality Mgr and Maintenance Supt – New ovens $1/2 mil. • 11 of 36 cookies with “not enough” chips at party. It’s up to us to solve the “problem”!
1. Initial Activities • Member Selection • Problem Definition • Objectives • Project Timeline
Assembling the Team • Core Members • Support Members • Initiator • Problem definition • Goal • Closure Beware!
What is the Problem with Inventory??? 1. Reduce average total number of cookies the inventory is off. (Average week +/- 20,000 of 1,000,000 in stock) 2. Reduce average number of items off by +/- 1,000. (Average week 8 types out of 100 types) 3. Increase number of cookie types that are 100% accurate. (Average week 82%) * * Examples * * of different Definitions
ObjectiveOttawa Baking • Our objective is to reduce the number of defective cookies based off scrap, audits and customer credits / complaints for the Toledo and Atlanta facilities. • Developed by core members during 2nd meeting. • Goal to be developed after base data collected. Is this too Broad? - Veronica’s mandate
Communications and buy-in • Project Management • Methods, documentation & records • Up to individual organizations • What? Who? How? Results? • Training & Competencies
2. Current Condition • Data Collection – What do we collect? • Data aligned with future problem / solution needs? • User friendly and understood? • How much do you need to collect? • Sorting, ranking, presenting? • Tools • Tally Sheet – Initial collection • Run Chart – Defects by Quantity • Pareto Chart – Defects by Type • Flow Chart – Sequence of activities
Tally Sheet User Friendly!!!Defects – ‘000 DefectWk 1 Wk 2 Wk 3 Wk 4 1. Burned IIIII IIII 2. Broken IIII II 3. Packaging II I 4. Size I I 5. Stuck II 6. Chips I Total 15 8
“Secondary Sorts”Stratification – Six Sigma Breaking data apart into different categories to assist future analysis. Could be by: shift, plant, department, cookie type, etc. Total 20 14 24 18 12 14 Total Shift - 1 9 7 10 8 5 8 47 Shift – 2 5 4 8 5 4 2 28 Shift – 3 6 3 6 3 3 4 25
Future Process / GoalWhere are we going? “SMART”Goals • S pecific • M easurable • A ggressive • R ealistic • T ime bound Goals impact the activities and resources allocated to the project.
Ottawa BakingProject Goal Reduce the 6-Week moving average of Defective Cookies by 30% in 180 days. 12,000or less per week- Toledo 7,000or less per week -Atlanta
4. Root Cause Analysis • Identify lowest level of cause • 5M’s + E / Fishbone / 5 Why’s • Scatter Diagram / ANOVA • A single “problem” can have multiple Issues / Root Causes attached to it.
5M’s + ESources of Variation 1. M an Left in oven too long 2. M aterial Dry dough 3. M achines Hot spots in ovens 4. M ethods Tray versus belt 5. M easurement Inconsistent scale E nvironment Ambient humidity
5 – Why’sPossible multiple analysis 1. Why burned cookies? Hot spots 2. Why hot spots? Thermocouple calibration 3.Why calibration? Not on PM checklist 4.Why not on checklist? Issues with updating 5. Why not updated? Staffing shortages / Priorities ** Possible to have multiple 5-Why analysis within a project.
5. Corrective Action Plan • Designing and executing the “Action” Plan • Multiple activities per project – Coordinate • Tools - DOE / FMEA / APQP / Poka Yokes / Standardize • Best way to organize • Who’s available / interested • Vertical vs. Horizontal ex. Training (all groups responsible for their own or one groups trains all?) • Corrective Action Matrix • Issue, C/A, Leader, Target Date, Results
Corrective Action Matrix Issue Activity Leader Date Status 1. Dough Review Eng 7-31 Closed Temp 2. Oven Calibration & DB/BK 9/30 Closed Temps Location Maint 3. Tray Verify and DB/BK 9/30 Closed Type Standardize 4. Set-up Baking and DB/BK 9/30 Open Packaging Maint
6. Sustaining the Gains • Standardization and Work Guidance • Future Monitoring and Verification • What, Who, When, “How” • SPC – Control Charts • Departmental audits
Standards (Specs - What) Clear image of desired conditions Make abnormalities obvious Simple and Visual Work Guidance (How) Robust - wide Dynamic - changing Input from users
Items StandardizedBurned Cookies 1. Tray types used by cookies 2. PM on thermocouples 3. Reference scales for cookie inspection 4. Competencies and training in baking and packaging 5. Min/ Max dough temps, prior to baking. 6. Operator, Supervisor and Quality inspection methods and responsibilities.
8. Review and Record Keeping • Evaluation of activities, findings, methods, tools and results. • Story of the Team - summary • Each organization, own requirements
Problem Description Goal Team & Input Current Process Current Condition Root Cause Analysis Counter Measures Future Condition Standardization Verification Documentation Results Team Review
Reactive ??? Or Proactive???
Hoshin PlanningAttaining Strategic Objectives 3 -Tier Policy Deployment – PDCA Cycles 1. Top Management 2. Middle Management 3. Departmental • Quality Hoshin Safety Hoshin • Productivity Hoshin TPM Hoshin • Sales Hoshin • Management can/should walk into the departments to verify how well departmental activities are aligned with and meeting higher level Hoshins.
Internal Objectives – Ottawa Baking 1. Employee Involvement 2. Visual Tools 3. Continuous Improvement Internal Tools – Ottawa Baking 1. Daily / Weekly Meetings 2. Department Scoreboard!!!
Departmental Scoreboard • Know the objective • Assess the situation • Adjust and attack
