ABSTRACT
The initial plan called for the Tiger Team to meet at least once a week for a period of 3 months. Their group was a mix of talented individuals drawn from different departments who wanted the team’s first project to benefit the company at many levels. Their goal would be to understand how the CA Cell worked, document how it currently operated, and determine what it would take to design a more efficient and effective assembly cell. The CA Cell had one full-time operator. Teaming up with the full-time operator and the floater from the Machine Shop, we filled numerous trashcans and quarantined items for other departments to review before disposal. Each CA assembly used threaded tie rods for shipping and installation purposes. The Manual Packings Cell was selected for the next Tiger Team project.
