Eyria, Oh

Lead "Best Practices" (BP) teams to incorporate best practices and eliminate process wastesManual CNC programming of Monarch VMC's and W&S NC machinesFulfilled division tool design requirements for 1 year, designing press arbors, cutting tools, fixtures, and jigs for assembly, test and machining areas.Supported creation of a machining cell to make motor covers. Savings included conversion of raw material from casting to bar stock, lead times reduced by 4 weeks or more, (WIP, finished & raw material) inventories down, set up time down, QA rejects down, machining capacity increased for shopCreated machining cell for fuel pump housings, approx. 40 housings impacted Results: Avg. WIP: 12 lots to 7 lots, Approximate Std. hours per piece: 0.491 to 0.425Approximate setup hours per order: 8 to 6.5, Lead time change less but not quantified, Approximately 18 special carbide tools obsoleted, Average of 5 ops/housing eliminated by cellNew fixture design/build time avoided with use of a standard pallet system to utilize exixting fixturesDry Air Housing Cell and processes revised. Results: Near 1 piece flow attained (lap excluded), Std costs reduced from work being performed concurrently with mill, Lead times reduced by 1.5 days (avg), change over time reduced by > 2 hours per lot.
