HukaPak – WHAT IS LEAN • Toyota Way, 6 Sigma, TPM ,TOC etc etc • FOCUS ON WHAT ADDS VALUE TO YOUR CUSTOMER – Eliminate any waste • Forget or don’t worry about everything else • Long term Philosophy • Process Excellence • Focus on Processing staff – People are Key • Problem Solving • Spend money on what matters • Making the job more enjoyable (maybe easier?) • Don’t spend money on anything else
HukaPak – WHY LEAN • Need to change attitude of key staff – No more rip, shit or bust • Put measurements in place that tell us if we are doing OK. • Weekly • Daily • Hourly • Reduce unnecessary costs – Repacking $1.5m • Reduce down time. 10mins = $500 in wages + $500 in lost opportunities!!!
HukaPak – BIGGIST BANG • Budget of $32,000 • Worked with LEAN consultants to prioritize • Eliminate waste by finding out what really matters! • Small improvements in 2 months!! • NZT&E funded $10,000 so far.
HukaPak – MEASUREMENT • How do we measure quality? • Fruit loss and Repacking – difficult 3 months after the fact! • How do we measure efficiency? • Trays per hour – How about fruit quality in the bin? • Downtime big issue – what really adds value? • What's more important Quality or Efficiency • Some staff did not know!
HukaPak – MEASUREMENT • How do we measure quality? • Traffic light system! • Measure time we are on Green, Orange and Red. Put in systems to get us to Green!!
HukaPak – MEASUREMENT • How do we measure efficiency? • Not Trays per hour – Too many variables • Bins processed per hour. • Cannot compromise Quality. SO upper limit! • Hourly output targets – 34 bins an hour Gold fruit – GREEN light • Each operator has these displayed!!
HukaPak – MEASUREMENT How do we measure efficiency? • Downtime big issue – what really adds value? • Grader 1 return per tray - $6.00 • Grader 2 return per tray - $4.00 • Grader 3 (Class 2) return per tray – 40 cents. • Plus opportunity cost of G1 & G2 not running!! • So second project!
Preventative Maintenance & Downtime Reduction Preventative Maintenance • We have always had a Maintenance Plan YES BUT • Which equipment has the highest risk and cost to our efficiency – G1 Bin Dump! SO REDUCE RISKS And REDUCE IMPACT • Staff to work with the Maintenance contractors both pre season and in-season • Replacement parts on site or in contractors van • Expert on site each day between shifts • Contingency plan if all else fails
Preventative Maintenance & Downtime Reduction Preventative Maintenance • SMART SPUD • Compac’s accelerometer that we got going. • Measures impact points. • Grader 1 excellent except for part bins on Bin dump! – Terrible • Grader 2 not so good and we can now work on where the issues are.
Preventative Maintenance & Downtime Reduction Downtime Reduction - Goals • Reduce to below last seasons • Prioritise projects – G1 Bin Tip! - Grower & Receipt Changes • Don’t stop G1 & G2 if G3 has a problem!
HukaPak – TRAINING • Pre-season training for Supervisors. • How to Supervise. • Better pre-season training for staff • Do it right first time! • Simplify Inductions • Made video so inductions can be done at 6.00am and 8.00pm • Standardise on the job training
