UPM Supply Chain project Due to the shutdown of 2 paper machines in France, some of the Eastern French supplier had to be redirected to the German mills. By mapping and sorting the supplier depending on different criteria we were able to minimize the transportation time and direct suppliers to the adequate mill, depending on the RCP* grade, quality, quantity and state. I will present and explain some of the maps.

Process Optimization Summary
The purpose of our study is to address the baulking problem associated in the Lechmere Auto Wash Center. The main goal is to reduce the amount of customers that baulk, being directly related to the queue length at the cashier station. By reducing the customer baulk rate, the car wash should be able to process more cars and keep up with the demand hence increasing revenue and saving customers. To address this problem I followed a data driven improvement cycle, the DMAIC technic, in order to drive a Six Sigma project
DMAIC: Define, Measure, Assign, Improve, Control.
This project addresses the current issue of baulking customers/cars in the Lechmere Auto Wash Center
Goal: to reduce the amount of customers that baulk
Current time of operation is 7 days a week from 8am-4:30pm

I used arena to simulate the initial model, and validate my measurements. Instant testing and modifications in the process can be done. I used the information of the block diagram to generate my code. The simulate process was able to give us a baseline for the process.

The analyses of the output of the arena simulation, gave me valid information allowing me to create a cause and effect diagram. the major causes for cars to baulk are the queue length, high cycle time and poor utilization rates of stations.

Process Maximization Summary
One of the major changes was to increase the amount of pay stations and reduce the number of stalls, because according to the data gathered from the initial simulation, that was a major bottleneck.

Process Maximization Summary
To insure a high quality level during the hall process, an ongoing process management is needed. We also need to develop an out of control action plan that will allow us to understand the causes of any unusual output. The improved simulation was used to create multiple replications and plot the results. Tow charts tracking critical values has been used to control the process : • Individual charts for the number of cars that baulks• X_bar and R chart for the utilization rate of the stalls

Since our best fit is a normal distribution we can conclude from this histogram, that our data is randomly distributed.
The resulting probability plot shows a reasonable straight line that would pass the “fat pencil test”. Thus, it is reasonable to use the normal distribution for this data.
Individual value chart: UCL =51.04 CL=20.5 LCL=10.04
Moving range:UCL=37.52CL=11.4LCL=11.48
The process is in statistical control over the 30 replications.

The best distribution fit is the normal distribution for the average utilization rate. That proves that our data is randomly distributed.
