3 worksheets:
1. Standardized Work Chart

a) Enter the date the chart was prepared or revised b) Enter the supervisors signature. The supervisor is in charge of the process and should fill out the chart
Enter the quantity per shift and Takt time a) Quantity per shift= Production Number Needed Per Month Operating Days Number of in a month X shifts per day b) Takt Time= Total Available Time Per Shift Quantity per shift

Symbols C Critical Defect-- Place symbol at station where special care should be given to ensure quality Standard In-Process Stock-Place symbol at location where in-process stock is present. If more than one piece is held, place the amount next to the symbol at the position where the piece comes to rest after processing x2 Process Diagram Show the process by drawing its physical layout (machines, work tables, pallets, WIP boxes, finished goods boxes, flow racks, etc.) The layout should be drawn as close to scale as possible Draw the work sequence Example 1 6 2 5 3 4 Quality Check-- Place symbol at station that requires a quality check. Also record the frequency of the check. EX:
1/ 5
Time
Enter the manual time in the hand work column Enter the machine time (from start to finish position) Enter any walking time (actual walk time from start to finish) Add up and enter the totals for hand work & walk time at the bottom Add up any time when actual waiting occurred and enter at the bottom under wait If there is no number to be entered in a space in the column, enter a dash

SAFETY Place symbol at station where special safety requirement is needed. This should be shown at all machinery
Use a solid line to connect sequence steps Use a dotted line with an arrow to note return from last work to first work
11
Quantity per shift/Takt Time Enter the the quantity per shift and Takt Time. a) Qty/shift = Production number needed per month Operating days x Number of shifts in a month per day b) Takt Time = Total available time per shift Quantity per shift Draw Takt Time line on graph in red (visual alert).

Time Enter the manual time in the hand work column. Enter the machine time (from start to finish position) Enter any walking time (actual walk time from start to finish) Add up and enter the totals for hand work and walk time at the bottom. Add up only machine time when actual waiting occurred YDatum 2003 and enter at the bottom under wait. If there is no number to be entered in a space in the column, enter a dash.
Graph units Make sure to note the number of seconds per increment. Try to utilize the entire graph. Depending upon Takt Time and cycle time, one increment may represent one, two, five...seconds.
Graph Enter the manual, machine and walk time on the graph. Use the symbols noted above.
Process Evaluation If CT = TT, no Kaizen is needed. If CT > TT Kaizen CT < TT is needed MCT > TT Ask Kaizen expert for help.
Additional notes a) If CT < TT, draw automatic processing time up to TT line and draw excess from the baseline (0) at left. b) If CT > TT, draw automatic processing time up to CT and draw any excess from the baseline (0) at left.
c) Walking start d) Simultaneous start (more than one machine started at once) e) No walking

Tape
Solution - Place tape at the bottom of the rack - Replace the tape often - Partial (.2) operator is permanently dedicated to the failure
Line 50
Results - Rate of operation = 20% - Or 0% since 8 full time people are dedicated to run the machines (enough people to make all the syringes manually) 17 - Safety inventory before and after machine

Where and when is the problem happening? At the top of the track? In the middle of the track? At the bottom of the track?
Point of Cause
Point or location where the event occur and result in abnormal condition
How is the problem happening? Is the syringe rotating when falling? Or just falling through a gap? 18
Go See
Point of Cause
At entrance of track syringe is rotating left And then falls though the track
We find the point of cause to be at the gap between the 2 tracks This is where the syringe starts to rotate
19
Cause investigation
2.1.2 Machine is not set correctly? The track is too wide and the syringe falls in between the tracks.
Are both rails at the same height at the track transition point? 20
Compared machine design drawing to actual track width. However, there was no machine design available
BUT
1. 2. 3. 4.
The width of the track is greater than the body of the syringe Therefore, the body of the syringe can flow between the track Also, the flange are wider than the width of the track Therefore, the flange are supported by the track
There doesnt seem to be a problem with track width unless there is a forced rotation on the syringe. There should be no need for a test at this time (although the width of the track was modified)
22
We need to make a test to confirm if the height difference is a potential cause of the syringe twisting.
23
The assumption is that the track height difference cause the syringe to rotate and fall between the rail at a rate of 1 every 2-3 min.
After aligning the rail height there was no syringe rotation during the observation time (11am to 24 3:00pm). One month later the there is still no syringe rotation
Why
Cause investigation
The right flange of the syringe hits the right rail while the other doesnt causing a twist Because the 2 rails are not at the same height
Why Why
Because the machine is not fixed to the floor and can move when hit
Why
Because there is no understanding of the importance of machine standard setting
Why
There is not standard for machine setup and standardized maintenance procedure
Root Cause
25
Find the point of cause through deep observation (see, hear, feel, smell, taste)
At entrance of track syringe is rotating left, then falls though the track, stopping the machine
Why
Cause investigation
Find the root cause (make hypothesis, verify, test and confirm):
The right flange of the syringe hits the right rail while the other doesnt causing a twist Because the 2 rails are not at the same height Because the machine is not fixed to the floor it can move when hit Because there is no understanding of the importance of machine standard setting
There is not standard for machine setup and standardized maintenance procedure
Root Cause
Implement solution / permanent countermeasure
