1.Project Motivation
Monitoring the actual proVISION work process , it is possible to observe that in most of
the sub processes , there is waste , like excessive motion, transportation , defect and waiting
time ,so there are several opportunities to optimize such process.
The company did the decision to built a new bigger laboratory at the base, thus it will give
the great chance to improve the actual Layout of the proVISION Laboratory, so the
mentioned problems related to non value added time could be minimized.
This project is going to use Lean Tools and techniques to minimize the waste in a process or
just reduce the activities that not add value in the process. The first step is going to be a
define phase, when all the main problems are going to defined, Then the process need to
be measure, It means that all sub process will be measure in time, so it will analyze the
bottlenecks and calculating the efficiency and maximum capacity of tools that could being
provided. The next step will be the proposal plan to improve the process using a new Layout
that plays a crucial role in determining the flow patterns, reduce the waste , organize the
workplace and impact the safety.
The new Layout will be consider as the main problem solving tool ,however it is also
necessary use a systematic method to improve and sustain workplace organization (5S),
standardize some of the sub process and get the habilitation
of equipment strongly necessary to perform important tests.
With the implementation of this project it will increase the efficiency and capacity to cover
the future client’s demand.
It will also reduce the non value added time , will be soft saving and it will improve the
service quality and safety.
Finally the motivation factors could be summarize in the following :
• Expansion due to activity increase
• Expected Job count from 3.9 to 6.5 during 2013 (Q1-Q4)
• Reduce the non value added time
• Reduce Costs
• Provide a better service quality
2.Project Objectives
• Design a layout to optimize the flow of proVISION Tools by minimizing the times
the tools have to go back to the same workstation, reduce the distance between
stations, reduce the barriers between stations, decrease the movement of heavy
equipment such as container and design a better path to get access to shared
equipment like ovens .
• Increase also the service Quality by organizing the workplace, so adding store
places for proVISION components , such as racks, cabinets, implementing trolleys
for move heavy items and fixing turbine test setup.
• Improve the safety by reducing the mechanical lifting operations, like moving
container with a forklift, loading electronics out of a yellow line for personnel and
Rack magnets out of compliance.
• Improve the efficiency of the proVISION Laboratory by 22% and the capacity by
23 %
3.Problem Definition
The problems have seen in the actual NMR work process are :
• Excessive motion of technicians, going to the Break Out Machine , Push or The
Surface area to get a container.
• Excessive transportation of the tool , it have to travel several times long ways. The
NMR Collar goes from PUSH Area to NMR Lab to be unloaded , then it have to
return to PUSH Area to be inspected and finally go back to NMR Lab to load the
electronic. After loading the electronics, some test are performed, then the tool goes
to the BOM to torque the wear bands to be ready for calibration, Then it goes to the
calibration container, later it have to return to the BOM for assembly (Turbine , Pony )
and finally the last test (Jackstand test ) need to be performed also in the
calibration container . This is difficult to move due the tool with the pony is longer and
heavier. ( Fig 1 Old Spaghetti Layout )
• There is no specific area to place the container. There is a lot of time consuming
and waiting time, to perform the task to move the container inside the workshop with a
forklift, the use of crane to move the container from the entrance to the push area ,
placing the tool inside the container and finally doing the setup by covering the holes
with aluminum.
• The actual NMR Lab is situated next to Xceed test area. This situation is one of the key
problems affecting NMR service time due to the noise affecting NMR tests, and the
waste related to "wait time" or rework. The longest test the could avoided is the PWO
test that usually takes 3hrs.
• Actually, using Xceed Turbine test set up for NMR Turbine test adds to the wait time as
the Technicians wait for Xceed test to be completed before they can set up NMR Turbine.
• The NMR tool is seriously affected by electrical noise, so the electrical grounding need
to be improved.
• The two Ovens are shared , so it derives in a lot of waiting time and extra time in
Setup.
• Actual layout doesn’t provide a good space for loading the upper chassis due it cross
the corridor and interrupt the normal transit of people.
• The rack magnets is too close to computer setup.
• The ProVISION area doesn’t provide enough room to perform some processes
simultaneously.

In order to help to determine the scope of the project we are going to use the SIPOC
LEAN tool (Supplier, Input, Process, Output, and Customer) , It is also a very high level map of
a process that help to identify any quick disconnects with the supplier inputs, and identify the
project customers and their outputs.
TABLE 1 proVISION SIPOC

4.Measure
The collected information will allow us to make important decisions and manage the
process by facts and evidence. It will also quantify the baseline and show the improvement
after the project is completed. So for this case the issue is to calculate the actual capacity
of the proVISION work process and the efficiency in order to have a start point to know
if we could comply with the future customer capacity.
From the Spaghetti diagram below Fig1 , it is possible to observe the waste of excessive
motion of the technician and also excessive transportation of the proVISION items (Collar,
pony collar , turbine ) in the actual work process. Two shift of mechanicals and electronics
technician working on the same tool from the Beginning to the end do the job in 51
Steps , with a total distance of 1219mts .From the Table 2 is possible quantify the distance
of each step and observe the highest distances to run are to get a borrowed container
for calibration , go to Break Out Machine (BOM ) and IST are (Incoming Sytem Test )

The Swinlane diagram Fig2 show the proVISION work process and help us to understand
the interactions of the proVISION work process through the different departments, some
departments like Push and Pull have a big contribution in the tool lead time , however
we are only focus to minimize the waste in the ProVISION Lab process ( total
time of 86hrs SL3).

In the Value Stream Map Fig 3 (see previous page) for the actual is possible to measure
the timing of the entire ProVISION Laboratory process for the maximum service level 3 ,
taking in count that the lead time of each individual process is the sum of value added
time and non value added time. However this case is only for SL3 , so we have to do
similar Value Steam Maps for the rest of services levels 0,1,2 . (Appendix A).
*Note.In the VSM Fig 3, it was not consider the rework in all the process except of heat
test and also the time spent in Failure investigation
5.Analyze
In order to calculate the weighted average of the total process time and the efficiency
we need to consider the Timing of each service level and also the contribution of each
service levels according to the statistics (Qtrac between October 2012 to Jan 2013 ) .
So from the table 3 and figure 4 below we calculate the average time to produce one tool
including the service probability as per Service Level and the efficiency of the our process.
Table 3 Actual Weighted Average Process time and process Efficiency
Now From the data above we derive in the Maximum Capacity and Takt Time

Bottle Neck is the process with the highest long term utilization, so if we see again the
VSM Fig 3 it would be the heat test with an average of 39hrs (calculate below), however
the process itself only take 18,5 hrs including shop failure , so the NVA 20.5 hrs (waste
time ) it is considerable
Heat Test 67 % no rework & 33 % rework (Heat Test Statistic 3failed and 6 passed)
no rework = 10work hrs + 17.5 waitoven = 27.5hrs
rework = norework + 16hrs troubleshoot + 10workhours + 8.75waitoven = 62.25hrs
Total = 0.67 x 27.5 + 0.33 x 62.25 = 39hrs
VA = 10hrs x 0.67 + (10 + 16 + 10) x 0.33 = 18.5 hrs
NVA = 0.67 x 17.5hrs + 0.33 x ( 17.5 + 8.75) = 20.5hrs
6.Improve
The improve plan will be using the following LEAN methods, Kaizen Events, Improve
Layout, 5S and Generate improvent ideas.
As we can see from the table 4 the solution to the problem is going to be time saving
projects that will impact the efficency and the quality of the overall process. Such projects
were created with ideas generated by teamwork.
The List of Kaizen event was taken from the VSM , and the time saved in each process
in order to minimize the Non Value adde time is in base of Layout solution,
5S ,changes in procedures and getting new standard equipment.

Fig5NewproVISIONLayout
The New Layout Fig 5
• The new Layout is designed to have a Linear Flow , so it follow as much as
posible the ProVISION work Process. This layout is designed to impact the
safety,quality, workplace organization and future expansion.
• After breaking the tool and washing the main components (Pony, turbine and MRT
collar) the turbine enter the lab first,IST is performed, then the UC have to be
unloaded in the same place, so the collar will have a shorter path to the inspection
area meanwhile the Upper Chassis enter in the lab to perform the required service
level. Later the collar enter in the laboratory and it is placed at the heat test are
were the Upper Chassis is going to be heat. (The UC have to go back a litte for
heat test)
• After heat the elecronics and at the same time the turbine could serviced , the
upper chassis is finalized, then load for testing and final calibration in container .
At last the MRT collar a the turbine leave the lab for assembly together wih the
pony in the Pull area.
• The there are two parallel long benches for the mechanic technicians Fig 6 , so it
could be placed two turbines in the 2 benches of 1.5mts x 0.7mts with easy
access of both sides and also there are two more benches for place two magnets.
Ther are also Two extra tables to place the computers technician in order to
prevent the computer damage due to magnets or vibration to hit on the same table.
• There are basically three benches for the Electronic workstation Fig 7 so it is easy
access and place the tool over the bench just using the trolley. It is also enough
space to perform maintenace of two upper chassis at the same time as in general
the trolley is used to perform this service. One extra bench is required for laptops.
• In The Fig 8, Fig 9 ,Fig 10 and Fig 10 is posible to observed to differents racks and
cabinets in order to organize the workplace ,comply with the SQ Standards by
segregating the NMR Equpment like , Pedestalls , Flow Kits , Electronics, Turbines
and Magnets . Such Racks were designed taking in mind the future activity (See
Apendix )
• The magnets have been placed away from the computer setups,far from tools and
isolated with its respective warning signs. Also a new rack for the the magnets have
been introduced in order to improve the segregation and minimize the risk of attraction
between them while are transported.Fig11
• The Loading area Fig 12 for the Upper Chassis avoid the safety issues of the
previous one where the movement of the electronics had to cross the corridor,so now
there is enough space between tools and it will be possible the perform processes
in parallel , like for example Heat Test , PWO RBT LTB and calibration and
Jackstand.
• With The Calibration container Fig 13 ( Appendix 10) inside the laboratory the use of
forklift was eliminated and also it was placed far enough to minimize the
interference between other tools. With The practical hole in the container it is
possible to setup the tool in less
time.

After working in the new layout with all the required equipment it is possible to generate
a Future VSM SL3 Fig 15 (similar VSM are needed for SL0,1,2) , then we can make the
similar previous analysis in order to calculate the new efficency and maximun capacity of the
new layout. (Fig14)

  • 3. 1.Project Motivation Monitoring the actual proVISION work process , it is possible to observe that in most of the sub processes , there is waste , like excessive motion, transportation , defect and waiting time ,so there are several opportunities to optimize such process. The company did the decision to built a new bigger laboratory at the base, thus it will give the great chance to improve the actual Layout of the proVISION Laboratory, so the mentioned problems related to non value added time could be minimized. This project is going to use Lean Tools and techniques to minimize the waste in a process or just reduce the activities that not add value in the process. The first step is going to be a define phase, when all the main problems are going to defined, Then the process need to be measure, It means that all sub process will be measure in time, so it will analyze the bottlenecks and calculating the efficiency and maximum capacity of tools that could being provided. The next step will be the proposal plan to improve the process using a new Layout that plays a crucial role in determining the flow patterns, reduce the waste , organize the workplace and impact the safety. The new Layout will be consider as the main problem solving tool ,however it is also necessary use a systematic method to improve and sustain workplace organization (5S), standardize some of the sub process and get the habilitation of equipment strongly necessary to perform important tests. With the implementation of this project it will increase the efficiency and capacity to cover the future client’s demand. It will also reduce the non value added time , will be soft saving and it will improve the service quality and safety. Finally the motivation factors could be summarize in the following : • Expansion due to activity increase • Expected Job count from 3.9 to 6.5 during 2013 (Q1-Q4) • Reduce the non value added time • Reduce Costs • Provide a better service quality 2.Project Objectives • Design a layout to optimize the flow of proVISION Tools by minimizing the times the tools have to go back to the same workstation, reduce the distance between stations, reduce the barriers between stations, decrease the movement of heavy equipment such as container and design a better path to get access to shared equipment like ovens . • Increase also the service Quality by organizing the workplace, so adding store places for proVISION components , such as racks, cabinets, implementing trolleys for move heavy items and fixing turbine test setup. • Improve the safety by reducing the mechanical lifting operations, like moving container with a forklift, loading electronics out of a yellow line for personnel and
  • 4. Rack magnets out of compliance. • Improve the efficiency of the proVISION Laboratory by 22% and the capacity by 23 % 3.Problem Definition The problems have seen in the actual NMR work process are : • Excessive motion of technicians, going to the Break Out Machine , Push or The Surface area to get a container. • Excessive transportation of the tool , it have to travel several times long ways. The NMR Collar goes from PUSH Area to NMR Lab to be unloaded , then it have to return to PUSH Area to be inspected and finally go back to NMR Lab to load the electronic. After loading the electronics, some test are performed, then the tool goes to the BOM to torque the wear bands to be ready for calibration, Then it goes to the calibration container, later it have to return to the BOM for assembly (Turbine , Pony ) and finally the last test (Jackstand test ) need to be performed also in the calibration container . This is difficult to move due the tool with the pony is longer and heavier. ( Fig 1 Old Spaghetti Layout ) • There is no specific area to place the container. There is a lot of time consuming and waiting time, to perform the task to move the container inside the workshop with a forklift, the use of crane to move the container from the entrance to the push area , placing the tool inside the container and finally doing the setup by covering the holes with aluminum. • The actual NMR Lab is situated next to Xceed test area. This situation is one of the key problems affecting NMR service time due to the noise affecting NMR tests, and the waste related to "wait time" or rework. The longest test the could avoided is the PWO test that usually takes 3hrs. • Actually, using Xceed Turbine test set up for NMR Turbine test adds to the wait time as the Technicians wait for Xceed test to be completed before they can set up NMR Turbine. • The NMR tool is seriously affected by electrical noise, so the electrical grounding need to be improved. • The two Ovens are shared , so it derives in a lot of waiting time and extra time in Setup. • Actual layout doesn’t provide a good space for loading the upper chassis due it cross the corridor and interrupt the normal transit of people. • The rack magnets is too close to computer setup. • The ProVISION area doesn’t provide enough room to perform some processes simultaneously.

  • 5. In order to help to determine the scope of the project we are going to use the SIPOC LEAN tool (Supplier, Input, Process, Output, and Customer) , It is also a very high level map of a process that help to identify any quick disconnects with the supplier inputs, and identify the project customers and their outputs. TABLE 1 proVISION SIPOC ! 4.Measure The collected information will allow us to make important decisions and manage the process by facts and evidence. It will also quantify the baseline and show the improvement after the project is completed. So for this case the issue is to calculate the actual capacity of the proVISION work process and the efficiency in order to have a start point to know if we could comply with the future customer capacity. From the Spaghetti diagram below Fig1 , it is possible to observe the waste of excessive motion of the technician and also excessive transportation of the proVISION items (Collar, pony collar , turbine ) in the actual work process. Two shift of mechanicals and electronics technician working on the same tool from the Beginning to the end do the job in 51 Steps , with a total distance of 1219mts .From the Table 2 is possible quantify the distance of each step and observe the highest distances to run are to get a borrowed container for calibration , go to Break Out Machine (BOM ) and IST are (Incoming Sytem Test ) Technic ian R&M Too Push deliver PULL TEAM

Table 2 Old Layout Spaghetti Service Level 3 The Swinlane diagram Fig2 show the proVISION work process and help us to understand the interactions of the proVISION work process through the different departments, some departments like Push and Pull have a big contribution in the tool lead time , however we are only focus to minimize the waste in the ProVISION Lab process ( total time of 86hrs SL3).

  • 10. In the Value Stream Map Fig 3 (see previous page) for the actual is possible to measure the timing of the entire ProVISION Laboratory process for the maximum service level 3 , taking in count that the lead time of each individual process is the sum of value added time and non value added time. However this case is only for SL3 , so we have to do similar Value Steam Maps for the rest of services levels 0,1,2 . (Appendix A). *Note.In the VSM Fig 3, it was not consider the rework in all the process except of heat test and also the time spent in Failure investigation 5.Analyze In order to calculate the weighted average of the total process time and the efficiency we need to consider the Timing of each service level and also the contribution of each service levels according to the statistics (Qtrac between October 2012 to Jan 2013 ) . So from the table 3 and figure 4 below we calculate the average time to produce one tool including the service probability as per Service Level and the efficiency of the our process.

  • 11. Fig 4 Time Spent in Process Lab and Service Levels % ! ! Bottle Neck is the process with the highest long term utilization, so if we see again the VSM Fig 3 it would be the heat test with an average of 39hrs (calculate below), however the process itself only take 18,5 hrs including shop failure , so the NVA 20.5 hrs (waste time ) it is considerable Heat Test 67 % no rework & 33 % rework (Heat Test Statistic 3failed and 6 passed) no rework = 10work hrs + 17.5 waitoven = 27.5hrs rework = norework + 16hrs troubleshoot + 10workhours + 8.75waitoven = 62.25hrs Total = 0.67 x 27.5 + 0.33 x 62.25 = 39hrs VA = 10hrs x 0.67 + (10 + 16 + 10) x 0.33 = 18.5 hrs NVA = 0.67 x 17.5hrs + 0.33 x ( 17.5 + 8.75) = 20.5hrs 6.Improve The improve plan will be using the following LEAN methods, Kaizen Events, Improve Layout, 5S and Generate improvent ideas. As we can see from the table 4 the solution to the problem is going to be time saving projects that will impact the efficency and the quality of the overall process. Such projects were created with ideas generated by teamwork. The List of Kaizen event was taken from the VSM , and the time saved in each process in order to minimize the Non Value adde time is in base of Layout solution, 5S ,changes in procedures and getting new standard equipment.

  • 14. The New Layout Fig 5 • The new Layout is designed to have a Linear Flow , so it follow as much as posible the ProVISION work Process. This layout is designed to impact the safety,quality, workplace organization and future expansion. • After breaking the tool and washing the main components (Pony, turbine and MRT collar) the turbine enter the lab first,IST is performed, then the UC have to be unloaded in the same place, so the collar will have a shorter path to the inspection area meanwhile the Upper Chassis enter in the lab to perform the required service level. Later the collar enter in the laboratory and it is placed at the heat test are were the Upper Chassis is going to be heat. (The UC have to go back a litte for heat test) • After heat the elecronics and at the same time the turbine could serviced , the upper chassis is finalized, then load for testing and final calibration in container . At last the MRT collar a the turbine leave the lab for assembly together wih the pony in the Pull area. • The there are two parallel long benches for the mechanic technicians Fig 6 , so it could be placed two turbines in the 2 benches of 1.5mts x 0.7mts with easy access of both sides and also there are two more benches for place two magnets. Ther are also Two extra tables to place the computers technician in order to prevent the computer damage due to magnets or vibration to hit on the same table. • There are basically three benches for the Electronic workstation Fig 7 so it is easy access and place the tool over the bench just using the trolley. It is also enough space to perform maintenace of two upper chassis at the same time as in general the trolley is used to perform this service. One extra bench is required for laptops. • In The Fig 8, Fig 9 ,Fig 10 and Fig 10 is posible to observed to differents racks and cabinets in order to organize the workplace ,comply with the SQ Standards by segregating the NMR Equpment like , Pedestalls , Flow Kits , Electronics, Turbines and Magnets . Such Racks were designed taking in mind the future activity (See Apendix ) • The magnets have been placed away from the computer setups,far from tools and isolated with its respective warning signs. Also a new rack for the the magnets have been introduced in order to improve the segregation and minimize the risk of attraction between them while are transported.Fig11 • The Loading area Fig 12 for the Upper Chassis avoid the safety issues of the previous one where the movement of the electronics had to cross the corridor,so now there is enough space between tools and it will be possible the perform processes in parallel , like for example Heat Test , PWO RBT LTB and calibration and Jackstand. • With The Calibration container Fig 13 ( Appendix 10) inside the laboratory the use of forklift was eliminated and also it was placed far enough to minimize the interference between other tools. With The practical hole in the container it is possible to setup the tool in less time.
