DEFECT REDUCTION IN AEROSPACE BEARINGS
Advanced Process Optimization solves inspection rework and rejection for aerospace and defense bearing manufacturer
OEE INTEGRATION – ELIMINATING MANUAL DATA ENTRY!
Many of our clients require OEE as a process performance measure. We implement this as a function of our TPM deployments or simply to understand process performance at the machine level. As many of you may have experienced, the requirement of manual data collection, converting that to a spreadsheet, then calculating OEE can be labor intensive and therefore is difficult to sustain.
SIMULATIONS AS REINFORCEMENT FOR LEAN SIX SIGMA (LSS)
Authored by: Robert Bailey, Advanced Process Optimization It is widely accepted that Lean focuses on waste reduction in processes and Six Sigma on reduction of variability. Lean tries to create flow and pursue perfection in processes. Six Sigma is extremely valuable in the pursuit of perfection. As an example, the only way to solve certain […]
ALIGNMENT AND FOCUS TO SOLVE THE RIGHT PROBLEMS
“If you try to do everything at once, you will likely accomplish nothing at all.” – I tell this to my teams to get them to understand that we must focus our limited resources to the area of greatest need. We identify the areas of greatest need by measuring key performance indicators (KPI’s) throughout the […]
