Session Title |
How
to Get Results with TWI |
|
Session Abstract |
Alfa Laval, like many companies, is on a
journey to become World Class. On this journey,
we have implemented many Lean Six Sigma
initiatives, but performance results were not
always sustained. This session will describe
how we at Alfa Laval Richmond VA discovered and
researched TWI methods as a way to lock in
continuous improvement initiatives and also as a
method to reduce process variability by creating
a robust approach to standardized work. The
actions taken, as well as lessons learned from
running a pilot program, will be presented. The
implementation plan will also be presented.
The implementation information that will be
discussed will include project plan, importance
of organization structure, and challenges
incurred. The implementation of both SOPs
(Standard Operating Procedures) and JIBs (Job
Instruction Breakdowns) will be discussed with
respect to their purpose and how they are
prioritized for development and organization.
The success of the program will be presented
with what has been seen as early wins.
