• Responsible for performing regular internal ISO/IATF Audits and internal layered audits.
• Reviewed scrap data using pivot tables weekly. Addressed any spikes to discover cause.
• Due to the nature of plastic parts scratches and nicks are common as a defect. Generally, this accounted for the top scrap category in any given week and became a priority for myself and my scrap reduction team.
o We started by walking the line backwards from end to beginning, looking for possible causes and talking with operators.
o Tracking sheets with location diagramming were distributed to the lines to find where on each part scratches were occurring and with what frequency.
o Multiple changes were rolled out, including new padding in WIP racks, altered layout of work operations, and additional training in part handling,
o As a result, scrap for scratches was reduced by 66%, significantly improving the efficiency of the production operation.
