Other Important Findings I Corrected• Found issues/changes that need to be made to TIS’s &

Forms in different areas of the plant.

-PRS: Forms & TIS did not match

-Headers: TIS for a specific gage was incorrect and had to go out on the floor with Janet to show her

the correct way to use the gage/she took pictures of me doing it so she could create the correct TIS for the

gage.

• Made SOT especially IMPORTANT to do EVERY week, follow-up and make sure they get COMPLETED in a timely manner.

• My Level 5 Board has been reviewed and is meeting GMS Metrics (Green across the board) aka my board is REALLY GOOD!!

I took charge of helping the dept. 990 with conducting WPO. Main focus was to get all the tools organized. Tools were laying in machines, lost, on tables, etc.

I got permission from group leaders of the area to take this chart around and have the team members make the decision of how they wanted their tools organized. Final decision made was to get Perforated Steel Boards with hooks.

Next I went to each line individually because each line is set up a little different. I kept COMMWIP in mind. Ex: I decided that there should be (2) boards: one on each side of the machine to reduce down time by having to walk all the way around the machine just to grab a tool off a board. That costs time and money.

With the help of the team members we came up with how many boards, where the most effiecent place to place the boards and what tools specifically needed.

Currently in the hands of maintenance and management.

Team: Quality Auditors (QAM) Date: ________________

Shifts: C/A/B Team Leader: Victoria Blackmer

Team rotation is now being implemented through out the plant. I had to create a completely different rotation schedule from what the other departments are using because our area is unique. There is only one auditor per shift unlike other departments that have (ex: 1-6 people) that can rotate jobs on their shift.

I made this form by making a few changes to the original form. You can see the columns (Machine & Block) have the information already typed on. This is just a simple way to make things more efficient and less time consuming by having to write in information that is just verbatim everyday.

Leco Saw Cut off Wheel Replacement Log Sheet

I made this log sheet for my Auditor Dept. to keep track of how often the blade is being changed, why it needed to be replaced. This helps give a better insight to how long one saw blade lasted and then another element to track on cost.

NOTICEFor all employees who are NOT in Dept.715 (Auditors):

EVERY TIME you use the saw cut-off machine you MUST fill out this Log sheet!!!! *As a team we are tracking our cost for a variety of materials we used. The Leco Saw Blade is

one of them. THANK YOU!To go along with the previous form; I made this sheet to keep track of the usage from other departments using our machine.

Standardized work revision log sheet-I made this form to keep

track of all the changes that are made to: forms, STD work, TIS’s, etc.-This has helped EXTREMELY better communicate across shifts, management, engineers, etc.-It is a more detailed form for auditors to understand where and why changes were made.-Another advantage makes this beneficial for auditors who fill in, so they can look at this sheet to see if there has been any changes that might effect the way they conduct an audit, etc.

Dept. #715 Auditor Parts Put On Hold Log SheetToday’s

Containers Dept. # Who the parts are on hold for? Why parts are on hold?

To go along with the previous form, I created the parts put on Hold log sheet. This helps keep track of the parts that ONLY the auditors put on hold and helps keep track of scrap cost as well.

Ex: when an auditor puts a Gon on hold; this sheet is filled out to keep track of how long the Gon is sitting in the containment area before it is checked by the appropriate person.

*Trying to eliminate scrap costs by keeping track of the ‘Hold’ Gons and holding management responsible to designate the appropriate person to be held accountable for deposition.

When I first came into the Auditor Dept. and became the team leader what struck me as a concern was the lack of communication across the board.This Form was created to hold management and engineers responsible for letting auditors know how ‘Hold’ (parts in question) are being dealt with. It is important as an auditor to know what the decision is to learn, grow and understand.

Holding management & engineers responsible to communicate with auditors.

Left Board: To help keep the auditors in the loop about quality alerts around the plant.Computer: To make communicating more efficient, ability to communicate faster with the use of email, resourceful, etc.Right Board: To help communicate between shifts, announcements, schedule changes, etc.

To further push for improved communication; I Requested a few simple tools for our area:

After moving into this area I started looking into all required audits, STD Work, all forms, TIS, etc. Found a lot of things that either needed to be updated, missing, incorrect TIS’s, and then forms I developed myself.

One important audit did not have a STD TIS the Dirt Check Audit. This check is done once a week and basically checks for how much dirt is on the parts. It involves 9 different parts that have be tarred down and completely rinsed.

Starts with the collection route, dirt check process (prep, tear down of each part, after dirt check is completed…. Etc.)

Each part has to have its own STD TIS. I Had to take well over 100 pictures so far. Parts: 921, T-car, HVL, HFV6, LRHVL, SRHVL, 12mm, Deac Bodies, Deac Pin Housing. Since I am the only auditor who does the check and knows how to do everything I started

working with an engineer to Develop STD work TIS for the Dirt Check Audit. (I put some of the rough draft TIS’s on here that I have done myself). It’s a big project that is on going currently.

The examples to follow are all classified documents that I can not share. Per General Motors

Standardized Work (STD) Task Instruction Sheet (TIS) Development

Everyday I do my job to the fullest. If I have extra time during my shift instead of not doing anything I find things to do

like I enjoy finding/working on projects that help other departments. My saw blade project has turned into a great example of continuous improvements! I

have a whole other power point capturing the project.
