Trust Automation: Kanban and 5S
Creform parts (the tubing-and-joint system the floor's carts and racks are built from) were ordered only after someone noticed they had run out. I replaced that with a two-bin Kanban system for 25+ Creform part numbers: when the first bin empties, its magnetic card moves to a whiteboard reorder queue. I condensed multi-page text work instructions into SolidWorks assembly drawings with exploded views and balloons. I redlined 7 work instructions and their drawings for subassembly outsourcing. I audited 30+ crimp tools in the ERP system against vendor catalogs, flagged discontinued ones, and sourced replacements. I reorganized storage and workstations to 5S with designated locations, labeling standards, and standard work.
