Project Statement Over the past 4 months, our team has contributed to updating the standard work of the 7000 series printer base as well as become more knowledgable in Danaher Business System operations (lean manufacturing).

Background Information Statement of Need Problem: Documentation lacks standardization & needs an update Goal: Update the standard work for 7000 series printer base Task: Observe and formalize standard work Improve upon the “baseline” process in DBS Kaizen

Danaher-videojet Results

Results - Standard Work We separated each sub assembly into a different section for the updated standard work. There are a total of 6 different sections. Improvements: All sections have been revised and reorganized with new photos for the user. The new standard work is now completely digital and can be edited very quickly. We have organized the sections in such a way that it is now much more efficient to navigate to a certain build step. The bill of materials has been cleared or all redundancies. Employees can now start using tablets on the factory floor instead of binders when referencing the standard work.

Results - Standard Work Original Standard Work Updated Standard Work

Results - DBS During our visits, we learned about the Danaher Business System (DBS) and their idea of constant improvement in the work place. As a team, we went off site to another facility to help observe and make an improvement to one of the production cells (kaizen.) Danaher employees gave us a presentation about their own constant DBS improvement system. DBS Tools help Danaher grow in areas of: 1.) Growth 2.) Leadership 3.) Lean Manufacturing

Results - DBS Questions: 1) Does Danaher offer any type of lean manufacturing training, or is everything learned by experience? 2) How often are DBS improvements or kaizens documented? 3) What if a kaizen was attempted, but it did not improve efficiency? Results / Answers: 1) Yes, all Danaher employees must attend training sessions. 2) It all depends on the facility. Some larger facilities much more often than a smaller facility. The facility that we visited is attempting to perform one kaizen per week for the next few months. 3) The kaizen team would take a look at what did not go well or what can be improved from there.

Danaher-Videojet Conclusion

Conclusions & Recommendations We recommend re-ordering sections of future standard works, in such a way that the build flow is optimal (there were lots of redundancies during our build.) Future standard works should always be created digitally. Continuously adjust and update item reference numbers to eliminate repetition and redundancy. Identify and clarify each sections to avoid any future confusions during assembling process. (i.e. Base, Transport, Bridges etc.)
