Intern One: People
Goal: maximize the efficiency of our people and their work area to improve output and job satisfaction. Identify and eliminate waste. Assist the compounding team in building systems to maintain once complete. Reduce compounder hours per batch by 30%.
Intern Two: Processes
Goal: identify and eliminate constraints in our processes to maximize efficiency and minimize non-value added time during manufacture of compounding fill. Identify and eliminate waste. Develop, with the compounding leadership team, short, mid, and long term plans to further improve output and minimize waste in compounding processes. Assist the compounding team in building systems to maintain once complete. Increase tank turns from 2.7 to 4.0 per week per tank.
Weekly review of these projects will take place between all parties and will include senior leadership from all areas.
The first four weeks will be spent on identifying opportunities and ranking them, using data collected during this period, on feasibility and costs. Once projects have been identified, presented to senior leadership, and run through the approvals process, the following four weeks will be spent on completing the identified projects. This may require additional A3 or RIE events depending on data collected; these events would include as many compounding employees as possible to earn “hearts and minds”. Long or complex projects may require additional capital investment or completion dates outside the Q2 scope.
