JWI 550 Detailed Agenda(s) for Kaizen or Work-Outs Part B Nasha Wonsley 11/10/19 Professor Chinue Uecker 1) List the potential Kaizen events, select the one to be deployed and justify your selection. Then, define the Kaizen objective and scope for the selected event. Reduce the Total Lead Time: the total lead time was 15 mins. Reduce the Total Process Time: the total process time was 9 mins. Improve the Activity Ratio: the Activity Ratio was 60%. Improve the Rolled %C&A: the rolled %C&A was 39%. The chosen Kaizen event is Process Step 2 – Bonding. From Part A, our machines in Bonding stops working halting our technicians from building products, resulting in downtime. The Kaizen objective is to understand why the machines in Bonding stop working. The Kaizen scope is Process Step 2 – Bonding. 2) Develop a detailed agenda for each Kaizen event. Day 1 Time Session Topic/Objective Lean Tools Output/Deliverables Rationale 3a) Explain your choice for number of days, sequence for session topics, and justify the Lean tools to be used and outputs from each session. Number of days: Sequence for Session Topics: Lean Tools: Session Outputs: 3b) Show how your Kaizen agenda supports the Kaizen objective and scope for the event. This discussion should be specific to your value stream and organization. How Session Supports Kaizen Agenda and Scope: References: Martin, K. & Osterling, M. (2014). Value Stream Mapping.

This course guide is subject to change based on the needs of the class. 550 – OM in Action (1194 ) Page 1 of 2 Due: Sunday, m idnight of Week s 4 and 8 (10 % of course grade) Overview When learning about the tools and techniques of Operations Management , it’s important to not to approach this in an “abstract” or “academic” way. The discipline has evolved to bring real -world solutions to real -world problems. Organizations that have successfully implemented practices of process a nalysis , Lean , Six Sigma and other methodologies have often realized significant improvements in performance . In some case s, these improvements have turned them from a path to bankruptcy to a position of market leadership. Our u nderstanding of the benefits of sound Ope ration s Management practices is strengthened when we study such examples . There is also much to be learned from stu dying organizations that were unable to adequately address operational challenge s and have suffered loss es in market share or profitability because of that. Further, having rea l-world examples to draw on can not only help us frame our operational improvement efforts, but can also provide sources of illustration and inspiration for our team s, as we lead them in their pursuit of operational excellence. Instructions 1. Find a recent article , published within the last 3 months , in the Wall Street Journal (or other reputable news source) that discusses an operational win or challenge that a company has gone through which has had a significant impact on its business. In selecting your article: a. Do not limit your search to organizations in any particular sector. Remember that best practices are everywhere if you are willing to look for them. b. Identify the wins/challenges that connect to one of th e topics we covered in the first four (4) weeks of the course for your first submission and then Weeks 5 through 8 for your second submission. c. You may select the same organization for both submission s, or you may select a different organization for your se cond submission . 2. In the “Operations Management in Ac tion” forum link found in W eek 4 and Week 8 of the course, submit an original post in which you : a. Write a brief introductory “executive summary” identifying the organization, the challenge and the current state of affairs. Remember to include a link to the article for easy reference b. Explain which Operations Management practice this article is most closely associated with c. Summarize the problem and the impact that the tools had (or could have had) in addressing it d. Explain how this example can be used as a lesson in your organization to either point to an area of opportunity for a similar win, or to warn of a potential risk t hat could have significant impact on your business, if left unaddressed 3. You are encouraged to r ead the posts from your fellow students and add replies and comments for the examples you find most interesting.
