The document summarizes a project to reduce scrap at a machine shop through root cause analysis and implementation of solutions. It identifies the top sources of scrap as trim plates and control housings using Pareto analysis. Root causes such as improper tooling, fixtures, and processes were determined. Solutions like new clamps, visual aids, and process changes were developed and tested, reducing scrap by over $6000 per year. The project highlighted the importance of root cause analysis, design improvements, and gaining acceptance for changes.
