A Chamber Installations Process Improvement M60 J8 & M62 J19 £228,763 saved Katie Jones, MSM Jonathan Derrick, Mway
Objectives Talk through work study Demonstrate how I-pads are used to evaluate waste Show some footage from the day and have a go at analysing waste & some thought on waste Discussion around waste at the end
Problem MSM have 345 Chambers (inclusive of A & B chambers) to install on the It is currently taking 2 days to install 1.5 chambers. Goal To improve productivity of A-chamber installations. Problem &Goal Statement
Stakeholder Benefits MSM: Certainty of programme, improved safety and less rework Rowarth: Increased productivity = more money, improved safety and reputational benefits. Mway: Reputation, finishing programme early means they can start the next job. Less waste of materials. Client: Better value for money, cost and time savings overall on the job. Public: Less disruption to the public

Success Increased productivity from1.5 chambers in 2 days to 2 per day. Increase in value adding activity Reduction in waste

How we conducted the Study?
Day 1 Analysis
Day 2 Analysis
Summary Finding slide Day 1 : 16:10 Observed Activity Day 2: Observed Activity VA: 40minsVA: 1hr 49mins ENVA: 8hr 5minsENVA: 3hrs 48mins WASTE: 9hr 10minsWASTE: 11hrs Types of Waste TransportationForgot materials and had to return to junction 19 Rework / over productionStarted digging the hole in the incorrect place. Incorrect connector duct WaitingMaterials to be moved which were located where the next chamber hole had to be dug
Improvement Workshop Went through a quick introduction to Lean Operatives came up with a list of improvements that we tried to categorise into Lean wastes

Typical site layout without constraints in longitudinal direction. Example site layout with obstruction e.g. gantry. Site layout
Driving the improvements
Improvements taken forward 1.Develop new process 2.Create Site Material Interface Diagrams (SMID) 3.Get a trailer for HIAB 4.Develop Visual Management Boards 5.Looking to get Ipads for supervisors and gangs 6.Detailed Collaborative Planning with the workforce 7.Pre Cast Apron

Phase 1 S.M.I.D.
Phase 2 S.M.I.D.
Improvement: Trailer for HIAB Trailer carrying ducts HIAB
Site Layout These photo’s show the new site layout and the excavation which has been left open. Unfortunately we couldn't conduct a like for like time and motion study as there was two gangs on this particular day. Excavation left open after CCD’s
Visual Management New cabin for daily briefings with whiteboard highlighted. Planning includes: - -where each are gang working -logistics -materials need at next site. Intention to get ipads for supervisor/gangs to use for pre-planning next site Inc. taking photos and annotate positions of items required.
Benefits Installing 2 chambers per day (originally 1.5 in 2 days) Teams planning collaboratively Pre Cast Aprons Combining excavation with CCD = £83, Standardised plan = £137,50.00 SMID Temporary lid £7336 Total saving £228,763

Any Questions? Group discussion – Waste appears on every site and appears to be accepted: - how can we change this culture? “Thanks to Rowarth/ Mways Operatives and Supervisors for their great ideas and cooperation.” Questions and Group Discussion
