Atlanta Beverage Folding Carton Facility CI 1100 5s Fall 2013 Initial Conditions Disorganized and cluttered workspace. Unnecessary movement of aniloxes. Lack of anilox cleaning and standardization; resulting in product defects. Excessive storage space and inventory of unused plate sleeves. Excessive motion necessary to move equipment press-side. Team Members Frank Humphries Line Lead Georgia Stephens Pre make ready specialist Rodney Lomax Shift Lead Quinton Jones Pre make ready specialist Michael March Operator Johnnie Robinson Operator Shawn Gregory Co-op student engineer Improvement Opportunities Identified by Team Tasks were divded into four disciplines: general, anilox, mandrel, and plates. Each discipline had a procession of events based on priority and prerequisit actions. Much of the work focused on improving the transportation and maintenance of aniloxes and sleeves. It was proposed to rearrange large capitol items in order to increase workplace flow. Work on project when not making the line ready or firefighting down time. Accomplishments Sorted, Set, Shined, and standardized mobile Doctor Blade, Deck Rebuild, and everyday tool carts. Standardized PM tool box, mounted on castors for press side use. Created Anicam station and SOP on anicam. Standardized anilox tracking document and forecaster. Trained operators on anicam data documentation. Mobile plate sleeve carts Cleaned press side table and created die and delivery tool area Results Potential is in place for paperboard waste reduction via cleaner aniloxes once washer is moved in January. Also, excessive anilox transportation will be cut. Mobilizing carts and tools have played a role in decreasing average operational downtime and make ready times. All aniloxes are inventoried by serial number, original BCM and LPI, and will be updated with a current BCM count. Future Actions Begin to phase out old and damaged mandrels, plate sleeves, and aniloxes. After washer is installed, have washer modified to hold aniloxes with caps, and paint caps according to BCM. Remove old racks. Have anilox racks cut so they become mobile. Work excessively with new plate mounter so removal of old mounter is expedited. Build or purchase press side container for cook kit.
