Productivity improvement

Abstract

A manufacturing plant increased top coat equipment labor productivity from \$21.83 per 100 lbs. to \$21.83 per 100 lbs. First pass yield was improved from 87% to 91% by creating problem solving A3's and eliminating the top 3 pareto defects. Equipment uptime increased from 55% to 88% by eliminating key equipment faults and establishing standard work for equipment cleans and change-overs.
