1. Wegmans Process Improvement DPM – Fall 2011
What We Believe
At Wegmans, we believe that good people, working toward a common goal, can accomplish anything they set out to do.
In this spirit, we set our goal to be the very best at serving the needs of our customers. Every action we take should be made with this in mind.
We also believe that we can achieve our goal only if we fulfill the needs of our own people. To our customers and our people we pledge continuous improvement, and we make the commitment: "Every Day You Get Our Best"

17. Flatten Chicken Line Process Improvement
Currently, the flatten chicken line is not as efficient as it could be. There is no standard work, and the ideal amount of labor is unknown.
The objective is to streamline and standardize the process. The handling of the product, the layout, and automated transport can be looked at for improvement.
Student Staffing:
2 IE’s: Evaluate layout, implement standard work
2 ME’s : Develop mechanical assist for transportation of product
