Why might people mistakenly think that safety is incompatible with a performance-based
culture? How can we as leaders change their minds?
What evidence could we look for to see if safety is a priority in the plant?
The purpose of the QualityONE system in the OPX environment is to ensure the
prevention and correction of processes or behaviors that contribute to inefficiencies,
waste, and customer rejects. But under OPX, when we are helping operators produce more
throughput than ever before, quality could slip and OPX will fail if we don’t do our jobs to ensure
That QualityONE does not get ignored at the expense of making more boxes. Remember: it
doesn’t matter how many boxes you make if they are of such poor quality that nobody wants to
buy them.
Why might people mistakenly think that OPX is incompatible with QualityONE? How can we
ensure improvements in both quality and throughput?
What programs/tools does Smurfit-Stone have in place to help with Quality, and how can we
ensure they are being utilized during our time in the plants?
There is a common belief that if we turn up our machines to achieve higher throughput,
our Total Waste percentage will go up as well. This could be true in instances where there
isn’t an active waste management system in place. But under OPX this scenario is
unacceptable.
List a few instances of how stressing increased throughput could lead to higher total plant
waste:

How can we as leaders help plants both increase throughput AND improve their overall Total
Waste percentage?
What programs/tools does Smurfit-Stone have in place to help with the elimination of waste?

Speed Trial:
Challenging the current machine speed to achieve free speed opportunity and identify Speed at which
Road Blocks / Constraints are impeding further speed increases.
Note:
Speed is to be moved up in increments ensuring necessary run stability prior to increasing again, a good
guide is 10 - 15pc increments stable for 3-5 minutes.

MIFA • Material and Information Flow Analysis (MIFA) depicts all the actions required to
bring a product through the flow from raw materials to the customer
• A MIFA is a one page, end to end overview of the entire operations, opportunities
and bottlenecks
• Creating a MIFA forces you look at the big picture, not just the individual
processes or tasks. The goal is to optimize the whole, not the individual
components
• Information gathered to create the MIFA should be obtained first-hand, and
directly from observations the shop floor
OEE
• Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a measure to evaluate the
productiveness of a machine or a production line
• The higher the OEE, the more good product per shift a machine or line produces
• OEE analysis is a tool used to analyze equipment performance, and should be
used in support of business objectives where there is a clear need
– Bottlenecks (machine or process) which constrain the capacity of a value stream
to meet customer needs
– High capital cost equipment where utilization must be raised to reduce asset
size

6 Rework
Time losses for breakdowns and setups need to be understood to improve the

Examples
Breakdowns:
• Transfer of product is not possible due to broken
• Lost time due to machine failure
conveyor or faulty automation
• Loss measured by operator/ • Machine is shut off because of failures
maintenance tracking system
• Equipment stopped because operator is missing
Examples
Setups: • Fixtures and/or material types need to be changed
• Time interval between last good because of different product (product change)
part from prior run to first good • Equipment fixtures/tools need to be changed (tool
part from new run with machine change)
operating at rated speed • Periodic tests must be performed for product quality
• Measured by operator or process capability
downtime tracking or time study
Time losses for idling and minor stoppages as well as speed losses need to be
understood to improve the performance rate
Examples:
Minor stops:
• Downstream equipment is idle because product
• Lost time due to unplanned
supply from previous process is insufficient
stoppages other than
• Operators pause to “tweak” equipment (e.g., label
breakdown or setup
dispenser needs a minor fix or reloading; normal
• Measured through operator
work flow is interrupted)
tracking or calculated
Examples:
Speed Loss:
• Actual index time for an automated line is longer
• Lost time due to machine
than the ideal index time of 60 seconds (e.g.,
operating at slower speed than
produced 30 pieces in an hour when we should have
process design standard
been able to make 60 pieces in that period of time)
Time losses for scrap and rework need to be understood to improve the quality rate
Examples:
Scrap:
• Production time lost producing • Products that are caught at the source and scrapped
unusable materials
• Materials that are lost in the process
– Yield losses
• Measured scrap then converted – Material leakage/salvage, etc.
to time loss
– Startup material loss
Examples:
Rework: • Product that is rejected at final inspection, or end of
• Production time lost from process checks, then reworked to an acceptable
