iFluids Lean Six Sigma Case Study oil & gasJohn Kingsley
Several Lean Six Sigma projects were carried out to improve efficiency and reduce costs at an oil and gas company. A project reduced well downtime by over half, saving on production volumes. Testing well fluid for oil content, another project found a 35% reduction in oil was feasible without affecting process efficiency. A third project increased accurate well tests per year and the probability of success year over year. Overall the Lean Six Sigma projects led to substantial savings and business impacts through inventory reduction, shorter rig movement times, reduced debtors collection periods, and less rig breakdowns.
The document outlines accomplishments in operations management and process engineering. In operations management, lean techniques were implemented to increase productivity across 30 production lines from 45% to 70% within a year and reduce supply chain lead-time. In process engineering, a polymeric binder system was developed for titanium injection molding, a manufacturing process for feedstock production was established, a mathematical model was created to optimize the solvent debinding process, and Einstein's coefficient for viscosity was modified for titanium injection molding solutions.
This document summarizes a continuous process improvement project at a powder plant to address high dust emissions and overflow of powder. Several countermeasures were implemented, including adding reclaim stations, selling reclaim material, optimizing grinding acid dosing, and practicing 5S. These measures led to a 71% reduction in dust emissions and overflowed material. The project cost $8,880 to implement and saved $53,910.14 per month, with additional intangible benefits like an improved work environment and knowledge gains.

The document compares and contrasts continuous flow and batch production methods. Continuous flow focuses on eliminating waste such as waiting time, excess inventory, and defects through one-piece flow and small batch sizes. This allows for faster cycle times, increased throughput and capacity, and reduced lead times compared to batch production which typically has longer cycle times and more non-value added time due to large batch sizes and waiting between processes. The document provides examples of value stream maps to illustrate the differences between batch and continuous flow production systems.

ARC Operational Excellence Forum in Orlando HighlightsARC Advisory Group
ARC Operational Excellence Forum in Orlando Highlights
ARC’s seventh annual Driving Operational Excellence in Manufacturing
Forum was held in Orlando on February 11 and 12. This is a first in a series
of Insights to cover the considerable amount of information from the Forum.
The forum highlighted the real world experiences of end users in
their goal to achieve operational excellence. ARC also
invited many key industry executives from the leading
supplier companies to share their visions for the
future of collaborative manufacturing management
(CMM). As manufacturers move into a global business
climate that demands the integration of
manufacturing operations and business systems, collaboration
must become commonplace reality.
Collaboration must be a cultural transition that moves beyond the organizational
and functional “silos” that currently exist within most
manufacturing enterprises. Two issues that have a direct impact on how
well manufacturing operations will become integrated with the enterprise
are interoperability and complexity.
ARC’s Driving Operational Excellence
Forum in Orlando focused on the
vision for a collaborative
manufacturing infrastructure
purported by suppliers as well as the
real world experiences of users trying
to achieve operational excellence.

Roll-Kraft lean manufacturing processes help to reduce waste
1. Roll-Kraft lean manufacturing processes help to reduce
waste
Recently implemented methods initiated by Roll-Kraft's lean manager, Kevin Hartman, have resulted
in an immediate reduction of waste material in the tube and pipe and roll forming tooling production
process, the company stated in a news release. Those waste materials decreased by 43 percent, the
company added.
This is the first of several improvements expected to be realized over the coming months, as various
processes are reviewed and modifications identified. Â
"We are taking significant measures in our industry to practice lean," said Roll-Kraft President
Chuck Gehrisch. "These waste reduction improvements that Kevin and his team have achieved will
directly benefit our customers by helping us improve our industry-leading 98 percent on-time
delivery and 97 percent first-time performance rates."
Roll-Kraft operates plants in Mentor, where it also has its headquarters; and in Frankfort, Ill., and
Woodbridge, Ontario.
