STRUCTURED APPROACH Initial Review We will meet with plant management to gain an understanding of the objectives and to collate all the information required to conduct our studies. Review the plant's performance in the following areas: Detailed performance of individual components on the line versus original design Mechanical reliability - minor breakdown minor breakdown major breakdown People performance - operational issues operational issues skill levels Process issues - plant/product compatibility plant/product compatibility performance measures standards Non productive time - size changes size changes maintenance slots start-ups Present Findings Present documented evidence of performace and recommended solutions Improvement Activities Develop performance measures for improvement areas Set up teams to work on specific projects - machine specific issues machine specific issues maintenance systems non productive time Develop training programmes covering: - problem solving techniques problem solving techniques quick size change techniques machine operation Prepare detailed design and project costs for machine modifications or upgrades where identified Final Review Review benefits versus original objectives
