Fiber Drums Reduction in Weighing & Dispensing Manufacturing Process

Abstract

Achieving overall efficiency within the manufacturing processes is the key goal among many organizations. Reducing waste enables manufactures to save money and take production up a notch. LEAN manufacturing and DMAIC are tools that can be helpful to reduce costs by removing waste within an organization, increasing productivity, and addressing environmental impacts. In search of improving the manufacturing PV, opportunities for improvement were identified in the weighing & dispensing process that would bring multiple benefits. Nowadays, companies’ principal goals are focused on costs, waste reduction and reduce production time. By implementing dedicated containers for a specific process manufacturing area has been able to reduce generated waste, reduce yearly costs and improve cycle time of processes. Because less is more. Key terms — Capacity, Continuous Improvement, Cost Reduction, Waste Reduction.
