“Micro” Material Flow Pentair Material Flow Principles

1. Develop a Plan for Every Part (PFEP)…DNA

2. Create a Single Purchased Parts Supermarket

Design & Execute A 3 Year Plant Flow Plan… Eliminate Fork Trucks Everywhere But Docks

3. Pull Parts from Supermarket and Suppliers/ Intercompany, Based on Usage

4. Optimize Scheduling Using Every Part Every Interval

5. Replenish Cells Using Precise, Timed Delivery Routes… Regular Bus Route vs. Ad Hoc Taxi

6. Position Material Optimally at Operator Fingertips

7. Build Strong Materials Supply Mgmt Talent

Page 17: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

Flow….• Inventory stored everywhere should never be

mistaken for point of use (POU)

• Just because it is in or near the ‗AREA‘ of Use

does NOT mean it is POU.

• Inventory must meet the criteria of Right: Place,

Time, Quantity, Position, Quality

• Inventory is EVERYWHERE –

• There may be a warehouse, but

• Material is not easily found and

• The market is not used to

scheduled replenishment

• 1 Part Per Pallet Location

• Large & Small Material co-mingled

• Wasted Space

• Unclear if over/under stock levels

• Several Parts Per Pallet Location

• Material Arranged by Size & Value Stream

• 30-50% Less Space

• Visual Indicators Tell If Excess/Short

Page 22: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

2. Design & Execute A 3 Year Plant Flow Plan… Eliminate Fork Trucks Everywhere But Docks

Why:

Need deliberate, disciplined, prioritized plan for transformation

What

Plant Layout planning to enhance flow and free up space

Consolidate Purchased Material

Create WIP Markets for upstream processes

Relocate Material and Cells to support Receiving, Production, and Shipping

Move cells and machines to support continuous flow

Aisles & Material Handling: One Way, Two Way, People Only

AutoCad of current state and future state plant layout

How

Up front value stream mapping

Plant layout kaizens, updated at least twice/year

Page 23: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

Plant Layout And Flow – Plant X in 2008

• Material Scattered

Throughout

• Limited flow from

Receiving to

Production cells to

Shipping

• Value Stream cells

not co-located

Page 24: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

24

Plant Layout And Flow – Plant X Today

• Material aggregated

into fewer locations

• Beginning flow

improvement from

Receiving to Cells to

Shipping

• Value Stream co-

location underway

Page 25: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

25

Plant Layout And Flow – Plant X in 2011

• Material aggregated into

one Supermarket & few

WIP Markets

• Clear flow from Receiving

to Production cells to

Shipping

• Value Stream co-located

• Significant space freed up

Too often suppliers are expected to „pay‟ for our unwillingness to

improve ourselves

Assemble a cross functional team to go see what is truly happening

Typically we‟re the ones creating disruption in our suppliers‟ operations

4. Schedule Upstream Components Using Every Part Every Interval

What Is EPEI?

• Scheduling methodology

Optimizes changeovers and

sequencing

Very helpful for high mix

processes (like machining,

molding, and fabrication)

Why Use EPEI?

• Balance productivity and

delivery

• Reduce lead time and inventory

• Produce based on customer

demand / pull

How to Do It?

• Begin With PFEP Data

• Add Production Data (Run

Times, Changover Times, etc.)

• Run Calculations

• Create Scheduling Board/Wheel

EPEI Scheduler Using Kanban Board

• Mixed Product Scheduling

• Pull Based rather than MRP

Page 32: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

Example – Lean SchedulingBefore After

Hunt & Peck Schedule Vs Orderly Schedule

1. Heijunka Board Sets Operator Work

2. Efficiently Incorporates High Mix, MTO:

Set-Up, Sequencing, & Takt Image

3. Improves velocity, reduces inventory

1. Operators perform jobs FIFO, or

based on preference

2. Inefficient change-over sequencing

3. Long lead time, high inventory

5. Replenish Cells Using Precise, Timed Delivery Routes

Page 34: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

35

Delivery Route Principles

Timed, hourly deliveries to the cell

Inventory delivered in schedule order – to the

operators „fingertips‟

5 routes 1. Purchased parts / RM

2. WIP

3. Expendable parts

4. MRO

5. Trash

Standard Work For Delivery Team (Picker, Driver)

2 hours of inventory at cell, line side

Minimize forklift in plant – eliminate from shop floor

Page 35: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

36

Benefits of Timed Delivery Routes:

Productivity of Direct Labor and Indirect Labor

Standardize the amount and timing of material delivery to

the production process

7. Build Top Talent & Culture

From

Materials Supply Mgmt Talent as „after thought‟

Limited expertise and depth

Limited lean skills

Limited career pathing

Projects in spare time

Handoffs in the Process (Buyers, Planners, Rcvg)

Inconsistent methods, limited training

Culture of

“Or”

Production-dictated

To

Materials Supply Mgmt Talent as key focus

Hiring & promoting top talent

Deep lean material skill

#2 in plant. Path to bigger roles

Dedicated transformation teams

Materials Supply Manager as the “One Neck to Grab”

Common methodologies driven by significant training

Culture of

“And”

Production Control

Materials Supply Mgmt Talent Is Critical To Transformation

Page 46: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

47

How To Sustain Good Material Flow?

Material Flow Audit Process

Teach people the purpose of audits

Audit the PROCESS, not the people

Learn by doing

Discuss results

Create action plan (Root Cause, Counter Measures)

3 kinds of audits

Purchased parts market

Delivery route audit

Pull signal (Kanban card audit)

Page 47: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

48

Before “Micro” Material Flow

Too much inventory

Raw material stored in

multiple locations

MRP generated push

replenishment

No standard material

delivery routes

No standard address

systems

Fork trucks delivering

material one pallet at a

time and returning

empty

Page 48: Bill Stankeiwicz Copy Scope 2010 Pentair Company

49

50% Less Inventory

Level loaded schedule driven

by customer demand

Raw material stored in a single

purchased parts supermarket

near Receiving—developed by

PFEP

Mini-WIP markets at point of

manufacture

Timed material delivery routes

Pull system replenishment

Standard address systems
