FUTURE ACTION ITEM OF NOTE

Week 2:

This week our MSD team completed the following task:
Met with Mike Least at Wegmans:

  • Received safety briefing
  • Received an overview of Wegmans' operations
  • Received a tour of the freezer

Created a "Code of Ethics"

  • Under final revision and will be sent shortly

Created "Team Norms"

  • Under final revision and will be sent shortly

Created a "Group Log".

  • Will document all meetings, decisions, assumptions

Started a "Customer Needs list"
We have determined as a group that our next steps are the following:
These steps will help us understand the current state and our customers' needs.

  • Review documents from Mike Least (CAD drawing, the dock tracking form, SOP, trailer tracking form, and a daily temp log)
  • We should get contracted passes.
  • We should talk to operators
  • We should measure the floor and any interference. – GOT CAD DRAWING INSTEAD
  • We should talk to receiving – SENT EMAIL NO RESPONSE
  • We should get the following data: Inventory turns, batch size for WIP, number of
  • racks in cage

Week 3 + 4 project plan:

Next steps:

Before Friday week 4:

  • Customer Needs list (Emily)
  • Current State Map (Process map) (Tim)
  • Project plan (Ben J.) – WHERE IS THIS???
  • Functional decomposition (Ben W.)
  • Invites (Ben J.)

Friday week 4:

  • Finish process map- TO MUCH INFORMATION, NEED TO RE-EVALUATE
  • Fishbone Diagram
  • Define Scope
  • Finish out metrics collection (Specs)
  • Risk Assessment
  • Peer Review

By end of week 5:

  • Make a list of what we want to brainstorm
  • Options (brainstorm)
  • Selection Matrices
  • Powerpoint

Week 5 Project Plan:

  • Ranking Fishbone
  • Functional Diagram
  • Break up current State map / trade off- BEN DECIDED TO DO
  • Needs, specific
  • power point

Week 6 Project Plan:

Collect the following data:

Floor Data: (BEN W, EMILY)

  • In and out – WHERE ARE THE INS???
  • Number of pallets in freezer of each kind – CALCULATED
  • Create data collection sheet as easy as possible – MO DOES NOT WANT TO DO COLLECTION
  • Date, time, category, number of pallets- Mo
  • Partial close process (add sticker process)- Mo
  • Production Rates- can we calculate skids?

Other Data:

  • schedule for last two weeks- Diane S? (BEN J)
  • What is the biggest demand in one day in terms of Raw Material.- Producton schedule Diane (BEN J)
  • Inventory levels- Jeff (BEN J)- ROUGH COUNT, WILL HAVE TO BE GOOD ENOUGH
  • Raw material deliveries – jeff( BEN J)

Also I have the additional action items, some related to this week, some for later weeks. I will just start working on this list and crossing them off. We can discuss theses further on friday.

Action Items

  • Look at partial close
  • Add achiveable goal, and reach goal to metics
  • Do we need to add more metics for each need?
  • Perform data Analysis on what is in the room
  • Should analysis the cost of ordering, time the trucks take up, orders are made less often to reduce trips, buffer time desired before production – RE EVALUTE SCOPE?!
  • Lead time between FF2 and plant is about a day
  • Add to needs: Customer desires clear devision between wip and Finished goods
  • Add to needs: customer desires devision between producs on same spirl
  • oCan place a flag on line to go to freezer to state a new product is coming down line (first and last)
  • Add to needs: Cleaning plan- OUT OF SCOPE
  • Customer desires a flex space to hold one weeks worth of Commerical goods
  • Talk to QA bake technition regarding staging process- SENT EMAIL, NO RESPONSE
  • Add to need: customer desires new system to integrate into staffing levels, any suggustions.- OUT OF SCOPE, CHANGES TO FREQUENTLY
  • Add inventory accuracy- IGNORING FOR NOW, ONE STEP AT A TIME
  • Find number of pallets a day
  • Different color for fishbone diagram.- HAS THIS BEEN DONE?

Project Plan up to week 7 Friday

Go through logs- know the number of pallet locations needed - Emily B, Ben W, let Tim know if you need help

Create data collection template, for number of pallets of each category. - Ben W- DECIDED WASN’T WORTH IT

Fishbone diagram- change color of scope - Ben W- HAS THIS BEEN DONE?

spec list to drop box- Ben W- LOST CREATED NEW DOCUMENT

Add projectplan, - Ben J

WEEK 7+ 8

PHYSICAL- Ben W-Tim H

Figure out the ratio of each of the different products

(we go over there)

(look at ins and out)

Hard count

Waiting on raw material, in and out data – RAW MATERIAL INFO IS WEAK

Ideal pallet plan

Averge of each type

Room layout plan

Signage-

CAD drawing, how many pallet positons do we have- Ben Whipple

Multiple layouts

Look at facilities book- DOES NOT SEEM NESSASARY

Adjusting to variablies-

Reduced reefer

Increased raw material

Lots of holds

Visual representation.

Put card on each of the pallets that come in- TO MANY COLORS AND TAGS AS IS, NEED ALTERNATIVE

Flag different products on the same spiral

INFORMATION- Ben J- Emily Burns

Central information board

What is in what pallet position

What holds we have, when were they put on hold

Overflow material count.

Layout

Phone numbers/contacts

In control/ out of control signals

Cycle counting / hard count

Set produre for freezer operator, process map. Written down

Set way to know who didn’t do what.

Partial close process-

Scan 3 barcodes

Need alternate plan for process when gets busy

Step by step, document the process

How can we improve

Document All processes

Design of QA samples- STILL NEED TO TALK TO QA MORE

Where is the ideal storage solution

Next to aisle

Dimension

How can we stack them

How big does the trays need to be

How many samples

Staging steps

Document receiving process

Identify who owns it

PRESENTATION

5-s

Where do our solutions lie

Match specs to customer needs- Tim

WEEK 8 (continued) Project Plan

  • Specs vs Needs list, Add specs to meet unmet needs (double check at meeting tomorrow that we can do not want to meet certain needs)
  • Rollout Procedure (which I will need help with)
  • Testing Procedure
  • Projectplan vs execution
  • Team log
  • Differentiate products on same spiral
  • Visual Representation
  • Layout

WEEK 9 Project Plan

  • Finish PowerPoint

WEEK 10 Project Plan

  • Next Steps document
  • Items on Edge
  • All logs are together

MSDII Plan (in addition to rollout Plan)

Things to consider for next quarter

  • Sustainment elements are in place
  • Communication with QA (regarding QA Samples)
  • Watch our Budget
  • Inventory accuracy, the cycle count should help
  • FIFO VISUAL
  • Kaizen
  • 5S ascetics

If further analysis is done

  • Should analysis the cost of ordering, time the trucks take up, orders are made less often to reduce trips, buffer time desired before production – RE EVALUTE SCOPE?!
