Business Driver(s) Impacted:
Premium Cost Reduction / IPM Internal And
External Delivery Improvement
Project Scope:
In Scope - Reduction of all Premium from Pt 11

Preliminary Problem Statement:


Text: Plant has been experiencing high premium transportation over the past 2 years. 2003 premium was over $220,000 and 2004
premium is over $250,000 thru July. In addition to high premium, Plant 11 has experienced internal and external delivery issues to
several customers. Delivery Performance has created several concerns from the DCS Business Line because of the impact to their final
customers.
The goal of this project is to reduce Premium by 40% and reduce IPM by 45%

Maintenance Response Time is a significant contributor to


Time to Fill Back Order (Y)

Tool & Die repair time is a significant contributor to Time to


Fill Back Order (Y)

Both Maintenance Response Time and Tool & Die Repair


Time impact Uptime but Uptime alone is not a significant
factor

Other potential causes (Xs) did not show significant impact


to Time to Fill Back Order

This statistical data indicates that in order to reduce the Time


to fill a Back Order, which potentially leads to premium, we
must reduce the Maintenance Response Time and the Tool
& Die Repair Time

Financial Impact
-

D M A I C

January April of 200x compared to January April 200x indicates a


reduction in premium of 16%, 80%, 84.5% and 31.4% respectively.
- This equates to a 61.9 % reduction in premium over the same four month period.

Over the last two months departments without the improvements have
accounted for significantly more premium than department 110x.
- March
- April

Dept 110x
18.0 %
27.8 %

Non-Improved Depts
52.0 % (1119)
58.9 % (1116)

Our implemented solutions improved our process by 30 %


- From 1.4 Sigma to a 2.0 Sigma

Our implemented solutions reduced our median time to fill a back order
by 41.6 %
- From a median of 2.4 to a median of 1.4

Based on these improvements we conclude that the plant 11 premium


will be reduced by approximately 34.0 %

Based on 200x premium of $308,940, the financial impact will be a


reduction in premium of $105,040.00 per year.

Control Plan
-

D M A I C

Plant xx team should monitor Maintenance Response Time


and tool & Die Repair time.
- This should be monitored on a monthly basis.

If Maintenance Response Time or Tool & Die Repair Time is


greater than 4 hours, plant should investigate root cause

Need to determine responsible person (s) to monitor these


issues

System generated reports for Maintenance Response Time


and Tool & Die Repair Time will support in this effort

Tollgate Review

Intangibles
-

D M A I C

Breaking down old barriers and avoiding finger-pointing by


using real data collected by a true cross-functional team
- Excellent cross functional team that was represented by manufacturing, PC&L,
tool engineer, Quality, IT, Terminal Store Supervisor and Manufacturing & PC&L
Master black belts

Dispelled many theories about causes for premium and


allowed us to focus on real root cause

Provided additional data for the manufacturing team to focus


on the real causes for premium and other machine down
time / Uptime issues

Processes across all functions are interrelated but not all


controlled by the plant manager
- Good cross functional support is required for the plant to be successful

Excellent job by IT support to provide accurate real time


data.
- Every black belt project should have an IT person on the team

Excellent data collection and support by all team members.
