Era 0 – What it is and what it is not

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 9


ERA 0 ELEMENTS

• To demonstrate how Safety, Quality, and Waste Reduction,


although already priorities of Smurfit-Stone, are still central in
Purpose an OPX environment.

• Team discussions on how to OPX can reinforce Safety,


Quality, and Waste Reduction while placing an emphasis on
Process increased throughput and productivity.

• Understanding of how SSCC’s Safety, Quality, and Waste


efforts fit into Operational Excellence
End products

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 10


ERA 0: SAFETY

Manufacturing, by definition, is dangerous work. And by running the machines faster in


the “performance-based” culture of OPX, Safety will be more important than it ever has.
As plant leaders, we are responsible for reinforcing a safe working environment, and ensuring
safe behaviors are being exhibited by our coworkers.

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?

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 11


ERA 0: QUALITY

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?

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 12


ERA 0: WASTE

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?

TRANSFORMING MINDSETS AND CULTURE IS PARAMOUNT

1 The goal of mindset and capability change is to instill a


performance culture, led by people that are capable and
desire to achieve dramatically improved performance

2 “Hard” changes to the operating system and management


system, installed during the mini-transformation, drive a large
portion of the desired mindsets and capability change simply Large scale change
because they create a “new way of life” programs must

3 In addition, the mini-transformation must bring changes in • Install the systems that
experiences, expectations, role modeling, and skills to create this “new way of
drive real ability and desire to run the line better life” in operations

4 Each organizational position has a specific role to play once • Train change agents to
the production system is installed, and a desired mindset kick-start the change
and capability level to target during the mini-transformation
• Prepare line leaders and
5 Change agents bring “bursts” of change through redesign operators to sustain the
of the operating and management systems, and creating change
experiences and skills to create the performance culture

6 Sustainable performance improvement requires the line


owning and sustaining this “new way of life” long after the
initial 16-week “burst” of change (the mini-transformation)

Introduction To Diagnostic and
Diagnostic Tools

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 38


Diagnostic Overview
• Identify and eliminate machine performance limiting issues
• Categorize issues into 4 buckets and apply proven tools or methodologies to
reduce or eliminate issues :
– Speed Loss (actual speed vs. 80% OEM speed – converting or 90% OEM
Purpose speed for corrugator)
– Minor Stop (jam up, paper break, wash print plates, etc.)
– Major Stop (mechanical Failure)
– Setup time ( time from last box out to 100 consecutive good boxes produced in
next order)

A. Perform a line study involving collection of data to determine total throughput


vs. total capable in a given time frame capturing all instances of downtime and
run speeds
Process B. Perform a machine or department diagnostic assessment (interviews and
observations) to identify weaknesses in all the workstreams:
- Corrugator - Converting - Workplace Organization
- Order Readiness - Machine Readiness - Maintenance
- Performance Management

• Eliminate or reduce throughput limiting factors and increase Overall Equipment


Effectiveness
End State
• Establish standardized operating procedures or methodologies in all workstreams
• Audit each workstream to ensure all tools being used effectively
• Develop scorecard to evaluate and hold people accountable
Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 39
Diagnostic Tools For Each Bucket Of Opportunity
Speed Loss
• Typically the largest opportunity for improvement in converting.
• Speed Log Identifies the top 20 repeatable orders for each machine center – Dirk Rooker MIS
• With the use of a Speed Trial work with crew to determine maximum run speed for the order. Inform
Operator and packer of your intention and verify after each speed adjustment that quality has not been
affected as a result of increase in speed. If so make necessary adjustments to overcome defect. Monitor
increase in speed for 3-5 minutes and ask operator to turn machine up again in intervals of 10 -15 pieces
per minute. Repeat the process until no further speed gains can be attained. Document maximum
attained run speeds and identify speed limiting factor on Speed Trial and Speed Log.
Minor Stops
• A minor stop is defined as any incident that causes downtime during a production run in which
maintenance is not required.
• Minor stops can be the result of improper set up causing jam ups or negative quality i.e. print slipping.
• NCPC (No Crap Past Corrugator) is also a key tool in preventing defective stock from reaching the
converting department and or the customer – effective use of all Process Controls at the corrugator is the
only way to ensure quality Product. Starch viscosity and Gel Point checks, Heat checks, Soak Tests,
Caliper checks, Dimensional checks, rip or bond checks must all be completed and documented
throughout each shift.
• Performance Logs MUST be used in Converting and Corrugator to document each hours performance
as well as each hours constraints or reasons for not hitting machine targets and actions taken (5 why).
• Recipe cards are another tool that can assist in eliminating both set up time and minor stops due to
improper set up. A recipe card is used to document all key settings for each order and is also an
invaluable tool in set up reduction.
Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 40
Diagnostic Tools For Each Bucket Of Opportunity – Cont’d
Major Stop
• Defined as any loss in production resulting from downtime caused by a mechanical failure in that
Maintenance must be called to repair.
• An effective Preventative Maintenance program is the best way to reduce unforeseen breakdowns.
It is important to separate Preventive maintenance which is inspection from doing regular repairs
from work orders. For every one hour of effective PM inspection you will gain 7-10 hours (over the
course of a year) of production otherwise lost by a unplanned breakdown
• ESW’s (Equipment Strategy Workshop) are annual (at a minimum) deep cleaning and PM of each
major piece of production equipment. Properly done these must be well planned and involves all
crews, planning, and maintenance and should take approximately 48 hours to complete. Pre
meetings and follow up meetings must be done to ensure effective follow up on any identified areas
of concern.
Set up
• A set up is defined as starting as soon as the last box of current order enters the delivery end and
finishes after 100 consecutive good boxes are running on new order.
• A set up can also be broken down into three separate areas
1. Order Readiness – ensures all tooling is press ready and within 10 seconds of crew member.
Tooling includes all documentation, unit Id’s, ink, print plates, S.R.D. and required tools.
Proper manning allows for 1 man for 2 machines to provide relief (breaks and lunches) and full
order readiness. Workplace Organization and 5’s must be implemented to allow the 10
second rule to work effectively
2. Machine Readiness – ensuring machine registers and dials are operational and accurate i.e
Circles and Rainbows
3. Set up Adjustment – How many boxes until machine is running salable product and how
many minutes adjusting from Container

A HIGH-LEVEL PLANT ASSESSMENT AIDS IMPROVEMENT ACTION
PRIORITIZATION
Introduction

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
Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 47
THERE ARE 6 STEPS TO CREATING A CURRENT STATE MIFA

1. Define Customer Requirements


2. Draw Process Steps
3. Gather Process Data
4. Gather Inventory Data
5. Determine External Material flow
6. Determine Information flow

OEE FACTORS

OEE is derived from 3 factors:

OEE = Availability rate X Performance rate X Quality rate

Availability rate Performance rate Quality rate

How much time per shift How well did the machine How many products were
was the machine actually perform (compared to the good the first time?
running? rated speed) when it was
actually running?

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 55


6 BIG LOSSES OF MACHINE TIME

The 3 primary factors of OEE are typically influenced by “6 big losses”

1 Breakdowns
Availability rate Downtime losses
2 Setups

3 Minor stops
Performance rate Speed losses
4 Speed loss

5 Scrap
Quality rate Quality losses
6 Rework

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 56


ANALYSIS OF THE 6 BIG LOSSES – AVAILABILITY

Time losses for breakdowns and setups need to be understood to improve the
availability rate

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

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 57


ANALYSIS OF THE 6 BIG LOSSES – PERFORMANCE

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)

Smurfit-Stone Container * Operational Excellence Boot Camp 58


ANALYSIS OF THE 6 BIG LOSSES – QUALITY

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
defective parts rejected at end quality level
of line or afterwards
• Measure usually a reject log of
total parts lost then calculated
for lost time

OEE – HOW TO CALCULATE

Total Time
(i.e., 24 hours x 7 days)
Non working time
Total Working Time
(e.g. weekends)

Total Available Time Planned stops


(i.e., periodic scheduled maintenance)

Baseline, = 100% The 6 big losses reduce machine performance:

Operating Time Breakdown Availability = (available time) - (Downtime)


(available time)
(Downtime losses) Setup

Running Time Minor Stops Productivity* = (operating time) - (Speed losses)


(operating time)
(Speed losses) Speed Loss

Scrap Quality = (processed amount) - (Scrap+Rework)


Value-added (processed amount)
(Defect losses) Rework

Overall Equipment Effectiveness = Availability x Productivity x Quality

A TARGET IS SELECTED USING A RANGE OF CRITERIA
Criteria for selecting Sample example

1 Required minimum as • Scaling assumes a productivity


What should the part of OPX improvement of ~10%
plant target be? • Alpha plants will eventually need to
double throughput (>100%) with help of
new capital

2 Target is achievable yet • Research shows targets need to be 15-


bar is high enough to 30% to evoke real change/transformation
ensure step change
occurs

3 Review bottom-up • >20% overall improvement seemed


30%? improvement potential at reasonable based on OEE – this is
plant limited by corrugator
20%? • However once sheet removed and low
productive machines closed converting
10%?
has to improve by >40%
Overall target of 20% throughput
set – OPX team has to get
significant way to achieving this

PLANT TARGETS: BREAKOUT EXERCISE

• To develop group understanding of factors considered when


setting OPX plant target
Purpose

• Repeat twice (once for each case example following):


– Pair up with person next to you
Process – Take 10 min to determine plant target (as % uplift from
current MMSF)
– One member of team write on whiteboard target under
heading provided (0-9%,10-19%,20-29%,…)
– Group discussion on variances of results and the reasons
why variances existed

• Target developed for each of the case examples

• Plant has had throughput decline over past year by 10%


Background • The decline started when key plant personnel left through promotions or retirement
– SSCC considers remaining personnel from supervisors to the plant manager to be
below average performers
• The remaining plant leadership are very resistant to OPX – seen as takeover in
leadership and threat to their jobs
• This is an Alpha plant – will be given as much customer work as it can produce
