Title: Standardization of the Process of Making Toasts with Raisins Leader /Date: Natalia B.Perez Roche 12/10/2022 Sponsor Signature: Econo Supermarket 1. Background: What are you talking about and why? 5. Recommendations: What do you propose and why? Design of on effective strategy in the use of time and materials for the preparation of some toast with raisins, At Kqvin's house every morning, making toast for one person takes about 4. 12 minutes and consumes a total of 4 shoes of broad Option 1: Adopt Lean Manufacturing Techniques and one stick of butter. The person ordering the toast wants it right away and expects it to have raisins. It is intended to Advantages: Lean manufacturing techniques such as 58, kanban, and value stream mapping, are strategies that reduce the proparation time and the products used by 50% plus add the missing ingredient, in this case the raisins. can help improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process. 55 is a comprehensive organization system that helps to identify and eliminate non-value-added activities in the manufacturing process, while kanban is a system 2. Current Conditions: Where do things stand now? that helps to streamline inventory management. Value stream mapping helps to identify and reduce non-value- added tasks and activities. Disadvantages: Implementing lean techniques can be time-consuming and costly, and there may be a need for The current problem is that the toast proparation process is not as efficient is it could be. Currently, the process is additional training of personnel to use the techniques. taking too long and is not producing the desired results. The facts and data indicate that the average total time for the Option 2: Introduce Quality Assurance Processes entire preparation process is 4.12 minutes, with some steps taking much longer than necessary. Additionally, the Advantages: Quality assurance processes can help to ensure that the manufacturing process is conducted quality of the products produced is not to the desired. There are also inconsistencies in the workflow that can be seen as waste of time. This indicates a lack of process standardization, which leads to longer production times and lower according to certain standards and specifications. Quality assurance processes can involve the use of checklists, quality products. Visually, this can be seen in charts and graphs that compare the times taken, as well as the quality of audits, and other measures to ensure that the manufactured products meet the necessary quality standards the products produced. Disadvantages: Quality assurance processes can be time-consuming and costly, and there may be a need for By breaking the problem into smaller pieces, it is possible to see where the inefficiencies lie and what can be done to additional training of personnel to use the processes address them. For example, it is possible to identify the specific tasks that are taking longer than necessary, as well as the person that are not porforing to their potential. Additionally, process standardization can be implemented to 6. Plan: How will you implement? (4W's, 1H) reduce inconsistencies, and the use of a sirelegy can be explored to reduce the time taken to complete certain tasks What The support and resources required to implement these changes will include an analysis of current 3. Goal: What specific outcome is required? processes, a review of waste and inefficiencies, and the introduction of new technology and processes. This will involve the use of data analytics to identify potential opportunities for improvement, and the acquisition of necessary Goal: To reduce manufacturing time by 50%% within the next preparation while maintaining a high level of quality resources to enable the changes to be successful. Visual Goal: To show a 50% reduction in time with a comesponding increase in quality. Who: The main individuals responsible for the implementation will be the husband, the wife, and other personnel Impact: This would have a positive impact on the wife's bottom ling, allowing for more competitive production time and responsible for overseeing the process. They will be responsible for analyzing current processes, identifying areas increased profits. It would also increase customer satisfaction, as the company would be able to provide higher quality of improvement, and implementing the necessary changes. products at a lower cost and time. When: Progress should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the changes are successful and that any Countermeasures: Countermeasures should include streamlining the preparation process, reducing waste, and issues are addressed. Additionally, any new changes should be implemented as soon as possible to ensure that improving productivity. Additionally, implementing process improvements such as Lean Manufacturing, Katzen, and Six the improvements are made quickly. Sigma could help achieve the desired result. Where Appropriate environment to put into work the strategy, such as the kitchen. How. The effectiveness of the changes will be measured through data analysis and monitoring. This wil involve 4. Analysis: Why does the problem or need exist? tracking changes in production efficiency, throughput, and other key metrics to ensure that the changes have a positive effect. Additionally, customer feedback should be gathered to ensure that the changes have been beneficial The problem of inefficient manufacturing processes exists because there are a vanety of factors that contribute to the overall inefficiency. Fustly, there is the lack of coordination between the different stages of the manufacturing process. Gantt Chart : A Gantt chart can be used to display the actions, steps, outcomes, timelines, and roles associated with implementing the changes. This will help to visualize the process and ensure that all tasks are completed on This lack of coordination results in delays between the different stages and causes delays in the overall production time and within budget. Additionally, the Gantt chart can be used to identify any potential risks or issues that may process. Additionally, there are poor processes in place for managing supply chain and inventory bowls, which arise during the implementation process. contribute to the inefficiency. Finally, there is a lack of standardization in the processes, which loads to a higher dogroo of variability in the manufacturing process. To determine the root cause of the problem, it is important to conduct a detailed analysis of the different stages of the 7. Follow-up: How will you ensure on going PDCA? manufacturing process. This analysis can be done using various problem-solving tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and Pareto Charts. By breaking down the different stages of the process and identifying the areas of inefficiency. it is possible to determine the root cause of the inefficiency and develop solutions to address it. I will track progress through weekly meetings with the team to review the PDCA process. During these meetings, I Once the root cause of the inefficiency has been identified, the next step is to develop solutions that address the root will review the plans that were implemented, the results achieved and assess if the desired impact has been couso. This can be done by implementing process standardization, improving coordination boteroon stages of the achieved. I will also review if any changes need to be made to the plans to ensure they are meeting the desired process, and utilizing automated systems to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process, Additionally, it is important to ensure that supply chain and inventory management processes are optimized, in order to minimize delays objectives. Additionally, I will review the data collected on a regular basis to measure progress and ensure goals are and ensure that the manufacturing process runs smoothly. By implementing those solutions, it is possible to being met. significantly improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process
