3 ME Elecmetal Facilities
4 Duluth, MN Facility Chrome-moly steel and white iron castings for mining and crushing equipment Casting Sizes: ,000 lbs 40,000 tons per year plant capacity
5 Plant Capacity Improvements Previous plant capacity 110 Tons / Day (27,500 Tons / Year) 2011 Improvements Increase casting cooling capacity Increase heat treating capacity Moved & optimized Finishing department 130 Tons / Day (32,500 Tons / Year) 2012 Expansion Added 3rd electric arc furnace Further increased heat treating capacity Added 3rd shift to Molding & Finishing departments 160 Tons / Day (40,000 Tons / Year)

15 Heat Treat
16 Swing Grinding
17 Hand Grinding
18 How This Production Area Was Selected High labor area, lots of overtime Lots of inventory sitting around Poor casting flow Needed to increase capacity
19 Value Stream Definition What is a value stream? It is the flow of all of the activity, both value added and non-value added, needed to fulfill a request for a product or service
20 Value Stream Definitions Value Added What the customer is willing to pay for Physically changing the product Non-Value Added (Waste) Waiting / transportation Inventory Defects / re-work Value Quotient Percentage of the total time that value is added Supermarket Organized inventory that communicates the work needed to be done
21 Value Stream Improvement Focus on Reducing Waste It s about the process, not people Tackle the non-value added steps Inventory reduced and organized Expected Benefits More efficient through-put (less non-value added tasks) More responsive to our customers Better quality control Safety
22 Value Stream Mapping Project Scope Swing grinding to finished goods Focus was on the standard process which is about 90% of production Non-standard castings are processed separately grinding before heat treatment Machined castings 1 st article samples
23 Previous Process Flow Iron Steel Shipping Shakeout
24 Previous Finishing Floor Plan Total 17,000 sq ft
25 Previous Finishing
26 Previous Value Stream Map
27 Previous Value Stream Results Previous Value Stream Total lead time: 532 minutes Value added: 31 minutes Value Quotient: 5.8% Targeted Areas for Improvement Inventory buffer between swing grind and hand grind Hand grind table wait time Material handling
28 Determination of Supermarkets & HG Table Sizes Batch size determined to be 8 to 9 castings Balances efficiency & value stream Two changeovers per table to meet production Average castings in a heat Average amount on 2 HT trays Table size needed: 40 feet Supermarket size between SG & HG: 8 castings
29 New Finishing Floor Plan Total new = 12,100 sq ft
30 New Process Flow Iron Steel Shakeout
31 New Finishing
32 New Current State
33 Value Stream Improvement New Value Stream Total lead time: 234 minutes Value added: 41 minutes Value Quotient: 17.5% This represents a 300% improvement in the Value Quotient 5.8% to 17.5%
34 Managing New Process Scheduling is key Providing adequate product mix while maintaining priority (ship dates) Entire process is linked The inventory buffer between swing grind and hand grind is significantly reduced Both swing grind and hand grind must remain productive
35 Project Benefits Improvements Value quotient 5.8% to 17.5% = 300% improvement 532 min to 234 min = 298 min saved Floor space 17,000 to 12,100 sq ft = 29% Increased labor efficiency by 7% Reduced Overtime by 28% Reduced handling and eliminated 1 fork truck WIP reduction from 11 to 8 days Increased plant capacity from 110 to 160 tons per day
36 Molding Value Stream Mapping
37 How did we choose this department? With increased production rate, the Molding Department was identified as a bottleneck area Need to maintain high production rate at all times little room for delay
38 Molding Department
39 Initial VSM in Molding Higher-level value stream mapping analysis was previously completed on entire molding process Close-up station identified didn t meet the 10 minute per mold rate requirement Grate Molds took minutes (about 10% of production) 2 operators always required to place cores High number of cores & long distance to move Repairs to cores
40 Old Crane for Grate Cores Old vacuum on a chain hoist 2 man operation
41 Core Manipulator Introduced in January 2014
42 Core Manipulator Cores moved closer Decking added to eliminate stairs Only requires 1-man operation 2 nd operator able to complete other necessary tasks, reducing cycle time
43 Close-up Station VSM Phase 2 Production rates still weren t being met Value stream Mapped close-up station with grate molds in July 2014 Findings VQ = 54% (slightly better than old system) Equipment wasn t utilized at the right time 2 nd operator was not always doing the most important tasks to reduce cycle time Identified opportunities to maximize core size and reduce the number of cores
44 Molding Future State Change the order of operations Utilize equipment better Prioritize tasks on the critical path Continue efforts to combine cores and reduce core quantity Predicted Future State VQ : 84% VQ improvement of 55% 32% time savings per grate mold Currently Culture Change & Training
45 VSM What have we learned? Can t let up when changing the culture Idea that familiar is better is hard to get past Just because it worked doesn t mean its best Be flexible and open to ideas with planning Let everyone know what the plan is
