Implementation of a Core Engagement and 5S Event QMS Project – DMS Standardization

Abstract

The manufacturing industry is extensive and generally includes businesses that take materials or components and transform them into products. Often, manufacturing firms operate out of factories and plants. In a more limited sense, manufacturing denotes the fabrication or assembly of components into finished products on a large scale. Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation. It is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but it is most applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers to produce other more complex products or distributed via the tertiary industry to end users and consumers. To guide practitioners, execute the steps needed to manufacture a product detailed and precise work instructions are required. These documents guide manufacturing personnel step by step through a process. They provide essential information on how to assemble, fabricate, and inspect products, ensuring consistency, quality, and safety. Company ABC is now the umbrella for several organizations that are providing manufacturing services for the Aerospace Industry. Under the new document's integration of Company XYZ with Company ABC, there are opportunities to standardize or streamline the paperwork needed. After both companies’ evaluations of specific documentation changes need to be executed. Although this is a general effort; this Project or Event will be done specifically for the business support unit for the manufacturing shop floor. The department folders have been identified. Currently there are either files for services that are no longer provided or files that need to be taken out local tool because in certain cases keeping them produces duplicity. With this Project we will create and execute a streamline plan in support to the Quality Management System integration process to: 1. Identify files that: need to be obsoleted, moved to US locations, or need to remain in PR Document Management System 2. Create disposition plan (method, owners, timeline, etc.) 3. Execute disposition plan. Event will be performed within the Department and participants will be new hires who are working through their respective CORE Apprentice certifications. We will use the 5S Methodology and will be later detailed in this document. Key Terms - DMS, QMS, CORE.
