Waste Reduction Uponor Corporation Calen Papke MnTAP Advisor: Jane Paulson Uponor Supervisor: Scott Bates

Company Overview (OO-Pa-Nor) Plastic Piping and Component Manufacturer –Plumbing –Radiant Heating –Fire Sprinkler Systems PEX-a Extrusion –Polyethylene crosslink –“Engel Method”

Reasons for MnTAP assistance Decrease Product Contamination Establish Baseline Facilitate project to increase production yield –Research –Plan –Recommend –Implement

Motivations For Change Continuous Improvement Oriented Culture “Wildly Important Goals” (WIGs) –15% reduction in weighed scrap –15% increase in production yield Increase revenues Decrease waste-streams

Approach Improve product yield, decrease process waste DMAIC methodology –Determine Root Cause –Develop Improvements to reduce, eliminate Establish Baselines Next Steps DefineMeasure Analyze ImproveControl

Approach Improve product yield, decrease process waste DMAIC methodology –Determine Root Cause –Develop Improvements to reduce, eliminate Establish Baselines Next Steps DefineMeasure Analyze ImproveControl

Define // Measure

Baselines // Benchmarks Expose and quantify unknown scrap streams –Maintenance scrap –Mixing scrap –Improperly reported scrap Convert into consistent figures –Weight –Cost

Determine Focus of Project “Black Contamination” - BC “Foreign Contamination - FC “Proprietary Additive Contamination” – PAC

Determine Focus of Project “Black Contamination” - BC “Foreign Contamination - FC “Proprietary Additive Contamination” – PAC

Define “Black Contamination” Black specks or streaks on / in pipe Different ‘types’ –Major: burnt resin –Minor: tool coating, component residue Doesn’t meet customer standards

Analyze

Maintenance Work Orders (WOs) 91% of WOs on BC involve work on moving parts Info from maintenance scrap tracking pilot (06/12-06/28) ‘Band-Aids’  recurring problems on same machines Does not address root causes

Root Cause Analysis (5 Why’s) FACT: Black contamination in/on pipe Carbon burnt somewhere within machine Resin burnt from friction / trapped in hot spot Material getting stuck in grooves Grooves are being created in the machine Machine creates grooves within components Machine becomes out of spec

Root Cause Analysis (5 Why’s) FACT: Black contamination in/on pipe Machine components are not tightened to a standard specification There is no torque gun in-house with capability to reach specified torques

Other Causes New parts from supplier(s) received in unacceptable condition for use

Improve

Identify Opportunities Opportunities for improvement in quantifying and tracking waste for continuous improvement –Better understand past, current, future states for feedback Opportunities for waste reduction –Reduce / eliminate scrap due to contamination

Opportunities for improvement in quantifying and tracking scrap Continue maintenance scrap tracking program –Largest stream of previously uncategorized scrap –Better shows current state of BC issue

Opportunities for improvement in quantifying and tracking scrap Introduce new scrap code for “HV – Contamination” –High Voltage fault is a test to check for a problem –Historically, ~80% associated with foreign contamination –Could be a multitude of things Cracks Voids Holes Thin walls

Opportunities for improvement in quantifying and tracking scrap Include reason for scrapping mix batches when transferring data from daily logs to high-level spreadsheet –Reason given on daily logs –Not given on high-level spreadsheet –Already spreadsheet rows for reason

Waste Reduction Opportunities Standardized procedures for: –Assembly / Maintenance of central units (CUs) –Inspecting / Cleaning of newly received components prior to installation

Assembly/Maintenance of CUs Purchase torque gun capable of ~5000 lb-ft Torque specs –CU Housing (Cage) –Hydraulic Cylinders –Feed blocks –Shuttle housings

Inspecting/Cleaning of New Parts Formalize inspection of new parts Utilize parts washer when needed

Economic/Environmental Benefits Recommendation Annual Waste reduced (kg) Implementation Cost Net Annual Savings Payback Period Status Standardize Procedures for Central Unit Maintenance 18,000$10,000 $85,000 annually < 3 monthsIn Progress Standardize Procedures for Inspecting / Cleaning parts 200$140$950 annually < 2 monthsRecommended
