P10712 Cheesecake Process Improvement The mission for the cheesecake process improvement is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of cheesecake production in order to meet customer demand in both quantity and quality of the cheesecakes. Focusing on: Worker Safety Worker Productivity Efficiency of Process Proper utilization of equipment Scrap Reduction
4
Project Approach Due to the scattered processes taking place for the cheesecakes, we thought it would be best to break the project into larger categories: Greasing Crumbing Pre-Tunnel Oven Mixing, Pouring, Loading Oven Post-Tunnel Oven Unloading oven, into freezer Slicing Packaging

What we have observed in Crumbing: No Direct Observation as of 10/2/2009 Known Issues: Uneven distribution of crumbs Leads to scrap issues Manual process Nonconformity of crumb size Crumb displacement at batter drop (pre-oven load) Crumbing Efficiency3 Labor3 Ergonomic3 Equipment9 Scrap9

Slicing Issues 5S issues Labor Utilization Material Handling transitions Scrap Issues Machine maintenance reactive TPM – Be proactive! Staffing setup Almost identical labels (marble vs. plain) Lack of Quality Check-One instance of packing defective cheesecake Walking 2s spin time for machine Ergonomics – Bending and reaching Putting covers on causes quality issues / lost productivity No monitoring of cheesecake time on floor (out of freezer) Variation in results due to lack of process control Slicing Efficiency9 Labor 9 Ergonomic3 Equipment3 Scrap3

Packaging No dedicated labor Reaching and bending Lack of organization Packaging Efficiency9 Labor3 Ergonomic3 Equipment3 Scrap9
21
Overall Issues No standard procedure No standard location for equipment on floor Improper/inadequate tools used Lack of set schedule for cheesecake process Variable batch sizes Lack of standard quality checks Unnecessary movement (time & ergonomics concern) Current machines may not be ideal Lack of continuous flow

List of Possible Ideas Efficiency Standardize batch size Continuous flow of process Waste reduction maintenance for equipment: Dropper, greaser, slicer Standard locations for materials and equipment
25
List of Possible Ideas Scrap Quality Checks: “Defect Board” Calibration of equipment: Dropper, greaser, etc. Efficiency, Safety Reduce total travel distance: people and materials Efficiency, Safety, Equipment Eliminating unnecessary motions, providing proper tools
26
List of Possible Ideas Crumbing - (Labor Utilization, Scrap, Equipment) Automated or assisted “Crumber” Pre/Post Tunnel Oven - (Scrap, Utilization) Regulate water for baking: volume controlled and assisted Packaging - (Scrap, Efficiency, Utilization) Alternative packaging methods
