Goodrich Aerostructures also uses 3P Pre-Production Planning , which focuses on eliminating waste through process and product design.
In these rapid improvement efforts, employee teams are encouraged to move toward the "least waste way. As the use of lean tools became a mainstream part of facility operations, company Environmental, Health, and Safety EHS personnel have worked to integrate EHS considerations and needs into lean tools and initiatives.
For example, EHS objectives must be identified for each kaizen event and recorded on the "scope sheet" for the event. Efforts are also made to involve EHS personnel in events that are likely to have important environmental dimensions, risks, or opportunities. More recently, Goodrich Aerostructures has begun to use kaizen and other lean techniques to explicitly target EHS issues, expanding the lean definition of " manufacturing wastes " to include environmental wastes and risks.
As another example, a safety kaizen event included having a team identify trip hazards in the plant and mark them with helium balloons to raise employee awareness and to ensure their elimination.
Goodrich Aerostructures managers identified an interesting transition at the plants that has moved them away from the use of conventional "return-on-investment" ROI decision-making for determining whether to make operational or capital improvements. Many change projects are now driven by company lean continuous improvement efforts, with attention paid to process flow and linkage, cycle times, and other capital productivity metrics, as driven by Policy Deployment. An interesting question is "do traditional accounting practices provide a balance sheet rather than a tool to manage a business?
As part of its lean focus several Goodrich Aerostructures sites have dramatically changed the manufacturing layout of their facilities. The conversion from a batch and queue mass production layout to a one piece pull, cellular layout generally entails significant movement of equipment.
In this lean approach, production activities are rearranged into cells which link process steps in the order needed to create a continuous, one-piece flow to make the product.
Instead of big centralized departments and machines for milling, parts cleaning, painting, and other process steps, small, "right-sized" machines are placed where they are needed in production cells. In effect, the cellular approach brings the process to the product component, rather than continually moving and storing the product component to take it through process steps. At Goodrich Aerostructures Chula Vista, California facility, several production cells include right-sized painting and degreasing stations.
Referred to as "little houses on the prairie," these movable on metal skids , enclosed stations enabled workers to degrease and paint small parts without needing to take them to large, centralized degreasing tanks and paint booths. This creates substantial improvements in productivity, with ancillary environmental benefits associated with reduced chemical and paint use, waste generation, and air emissions since the equipment is sized to clean and paint the particular components produced in the cell.
Goodrich Aerostructures representatives indicated that the business case for developing right-sized parts washers, paint booths, and chemical treatment baths been based on environmental improvement factors such as reduced chemical use, hazardous waste generation, and air emissions, they would not have been undertaken. In reality, the environmental benefits were not calculated in making the business case. Improving "flow and linkage" in the production process, and reducing the capital and time intensity of production, overshadowed other benefits, creating a compelling case for the conversion to a right-sized, cellular manufacturing environment.
Savings in operational costs, such as reduced chemical or material use and reduced waste disposal costs, may be significant, but they are significantly smaller than business benefits achieved from reduced capital and time intensity of production.
In other words, the business case for change did not enter through the "green door. Significant productivity benefits, a primary driver for the conversion, improve the "flow and linkage" of production process steps.
For example, metal skins for the Boeing fan cowls traveled 17, feet through the plant and took 43 days to manufacture. Following the conversion to cellular manufacturing, the metal skins travel 4, feet and are made in 7 days. In addition, since products and parts typically are not produced in large batches in cellular manufacturing, inventory needs are dramatically reduced, freeing up plant floor space. As a result of its conversion to a cellular manufacturing layout, Goodrich Aerostructures consolidated the manufacturing operations at the Chula Vista facility into two buildings from five while doubling output as a result of implementing lean methods.
This decreased overall facility space needs by more than 50 percent, enabling the facility to sell property to the city for waterfront redevelopment. In most situations, reconfiguration of the manufacturing layout requires rapid, and sometimes iterative, change. Conversions must be made quickly to reduce production downtime. For example, Goodrich Aerostructures Group's San Marcos plant reconfigured the production layout of its , square foot facility in one week-long kaizen rapid improvement event.
To facilitate such a massive and rapid configuration, the plant assembled a cross-functional team that included diverse skill-sets ranging from fork lift operation to electrical work to plumbing. Iterative changes are often necessary to optimize the cellular layout, or to accommodate the addition of new production cells.
