Refill Line

• Suggestion: Add a refill line to each bin.

• Benefit: Adding a refill line will alert workers when hardware levels are low and should be replenished. This will ensure that the process will not stop as a result of not having enough hardware.

Pulley Assembly

• Total Non-value Added time = 13 + 6 + 7 + 90 + 4 = 120 seconds = 2 minutes

• This time is wasted with each pulley that is built

Recommendation

• Talk to supplier to discuss changes in packaging

• A reduction in this waste improves efficiency

• Less packaging should reduce cost from supplier@ACBSPAccredited #ACBSP2015
