Cleaning up the shop floor (a 5s foundation program)

State of the department before my arrival As you can see the department had a

great amount of raw material and boxes laying across all the shop floor

After adopting SAP and appointing me to manage inventory (Sort)I had to investigate around 150

different products in order to identify the boxes laying on the shop floor

since most of them had no identification or were overproduction

leftovers

To help with the identification process, a tag was added that

included the SKU, the quantity and the quality seal of approval in order

to return as much material as possible to the warehouse for future

use

This process took around 2 weeks since i wasn't allowed to stop the production line in order

to match the items with the current system inventory

After all possible material was returned to the warehouse, the leftovers were

classified on racks for easy identification and also for assigning

specific places on the racks for each independent production line

After the identification process (straigthen-order) Before

After

The result after a few more weeks of the 5’s program by making the workforce aware of the problems that could be

avoided (Sweep-cleanliness)

Standardize and manage SAP and the shop floor office

I had to report the finished goods that each line produced in order to being either shipped or stored in the warehouse

in order to do that i needed to work with order production sheets that at the same time were the place in which the workers logged their own work so the payroll could be made that lead to the following problems:

Misplacement of the production order

Over production and inaccurate metrics needed for cost calculation

Restocking on already stocked orders

Based on a deep understanding of the situation i proposed a separation of this documents for the following benefits

a better flow of information between de shop floor and SAP

a more controlled approach on the activities of each worker making the entry and check of the payroll faster

Creating a visual system for identifying process made to the production orders making them easier to read and sort
