Productivity Management Imperative for USA - McKinsey - 2023 - 2030 - Agenda for Industrial Engineers - IISE


Returning US productivity to its long-term trend of 2.2 percent annual growth would add $10 trillion in cumulative GDP over the next ten years. This is equivalent to every US household seeing a cumulative income gain of $15,000 over that period. 

It’s an aspirational prospect and one with historical precedent. In 1995, five-year productivity growth averaged 1.6 percent, only for productivity to jump to 3 percent the following decade. Recent technology advances, including in AI and biotechnology as well as productivity spikes since the global COVID-19 pandemic, raised hopes (albeit briefly) that perhaps another boost may lie ahead.

Productivity Management Imperative for USA - McKinsey - 2023 - 2030 - Agenda for Industrial Engineers - IISE

 

Labor productivity growth1 has been the engine of US economic power and prosperity since World War II, adding 2.2 percent annually to economic growth and contributing mightily to a 1.7 percent annual gain in real incomes. 


But in the past 15 years, productivity growth has averaged just 1.4 percent, even as incredible advances in digital technology put a supercomputer in every pocket. This state of affairs is well known. 

In the US economy, there’s also a problem with the income distribution. The link between productivity growth and real incomes has weakened. In the postwar boom from 1948–70, incomes grew at 3.0 percent annually, while productivity growth averaged 2.8 percent. More recently, real incomes have grown at 0.7 percent, well below the 1.4 percent gains in productivity,  (Exhibit 1). Labor participation rates have fallen from 67 percent in the 1990s to 63 percent in 2019,4 as millions have become discouraged about work.

Returning US productivity to its long-term trend of 2.2 percent annual growth would add $10 trillion in cumulative GDP over the next ten years. This is equivalent to every US household seeing a cumulative income gain of $15,000 over that period. 

It’s an aspirational prospect and one with historical precedent. In 1995, five-year productivity growth averaged 1.6 percent, only for productivity to jump to 3 percent the following decade. Recent technology advances, including in AI and biotechnology as well as productivity spikes since the global COVID-19 pandemic, raised hopes (albeit briefly) that perhaps another boost may lie ahead.

Lean Six Sigma-Driven Enhancement of Fabric Production at Dominican Knits: A Case Study in Reducing Rejection Rates

Mrs. Ayleen Frias, Nicole Medina, Prof. Edwin Hernandez and Dr. Levis Cabrera-Abinader, Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, Santiago de los Caballeros, Santiago, Dominican Republic

 Abstract

Dominican Knits confronts the challenge of excessive fabric lot rejections. The research utilizes  a fusion of Lean Manufacturing tenets and Six Sigma precision, fortified by FMEA and Statistical Process Control to dissect and rectify process inefficiencies.

The research design employs  empirical data collection and robust statistical tools to excavate the root causes of quality lapses. The diagnostic phase uncovers pivotal shortcomings within the dyeing and finishing processes, catalyzing the development of a comprehensive improvement strategy. Subsequent hypothesis testing and statistical scrutiny validate the efficacy of the proposed enhancements.

The  study presented  a strategic control plan, crafted to perpetuate the gains achieved and to institutionalize a culture of continuous quality advancement. The findings present a persuasive narrative for Lean Six Sigma's integration into textile operations, projecting not merely incremental gains in process performance but also substantial strides in organizational profitability.

Simple Strategic Tweaks to Warehouse Management Yields Significant Results

Mr. John Gay, OpEx Solutions, Inc., Round Rock, TX

 A $6B company warehouse handling 30K SKUs was struggling to meet flow demands to and from the production unit. There is proposal to add  more personnel and equipment to the warehouse, quality and assembly. 


With a one-week material flow workshop and 24 days of coaching, the constraints were alleviated without adding people or equipment, the lead time halved and the output doubled. 


We will present an industry-independent and methodology-agnostic approach to the strategic application of continuous improvement, Industrial Engineering, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Lean methodologies to analyze the flow of materials from warehouse to production. The approach used quick mapping of the workflow, direct observation of the work, questioning the policies governing the work, and using simple tools to perform data analytics. 

Rapid, significant and sustainable gains included reducing the Service Level Agreement to 2 days from 7 days, reducing several weeks of quality and Material Review Board backlogs to a 2-day cadence, improving the on-time shipment to 100% from 0%, and enabling the implementation of the Warehouse Management System (WMS).

Operation Analysis

Prcoess chart was the device developed by Gilbreths to record and study processes for productivity improvement.

The process chart was standardized by ASME to include 5 types of operations.

Production or material transformation operations
Inspection Operations
Transport Operations
Storage Operations
Delays in Process


Operation Analysis

Operation analysis may be defined as "A systematic procedure employed to study all of the factors which affect the method of performing an operation in order to achieve maximum over-all economy. Through this study the best available method of performing each necessary part of an operation is found, and new manufacturing and maintenance developments are incorporated as they become available, in the continuing effort to move every job one step closer to continuous automatic accomplishment." [Stegmerten and Demmler]

Operation-Analysis Approach

1. Observe or visualize operation.

2. Ask questions to yourself as well as to others

3. Investigate the Factors of the Operation -  10 Main Factors  to improvement of the operation

Part or Product Design Factors

    a. Design of part and/or assembly (for assembly operations)
    b. Material specification
    c. Tolerance specification
    d. Surface finish

Production Operations

    e. Purpose of operation
    f. Manufacturing technique employed
    g. Equipment analysis
   h. Tolerances and inspection requirements
    i. Tools and speed, feed, and depth of cut.
    j. Workplace layout
    k.  Motion analysis
     l.  Material flow

Inspection Operations

Purpose of operation
Inspection technique employed
Equipment analysis
Workplace layout
 Motion analysis


Transport Operations

Purpose of operation
Transport technique employed
Equipment analysis
Workplace layout
 Motion analysis


Storage Operations

Purpose of operation
Warehousng  technique employed
Equipment analysis
Workplace layout
Motion analysis


Delays

Inventory Analysis - Value Stream Mapping
Order quantity or batch quantity analysis
Ordering system analysis
Scheduling analysis




4. Compare old and new methods. Do Engineering Economic Analysis. [Stegmerten and Demmler]

The analysis can be written or mental.
The analysis can be for a class of work or for specific work.
Operators can be trained using audiovisual aids, in separate training sessions or by supervisors as on the job training.

Private cellular networks – and 5G in particular – will play a critical role in enabling smart manufacturing and allowing the industry to overcome key challenges.  

What use cases can drive payback quickly, whilst future proofing operations?


Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) offer the most value out of the five use cases. AMRs maneuver around the factory floor, carrying, tracing and inspecting products and parts.

Augmented reality (AR) increases technician productivity and accuracy by providing visual instructions and overlays, eliminating the need to move back and forth between a manual and the equipment.

Collaborative robots (Cobots) help operators to perform tasks like drilling, assembly and inspection. They also allow factories to inspect 100% of products, increasing customer satisfaction.

Digital twins create a virtual copy of the facility which allows technicians to change operations, plan scenarios and test new environments without physically changing anything.

Asset condition monitoring collects data from machinery and alerts operators when maintenance is needed, resulting in less unplanned downtime and costly replacement parts.

Ericsson embarked on a mission to establish an industry-leading #SmartFactory in Lewisville, Texas.

This article details the steps Ericsson used to transform its operations in the production and delivery of 5G equipment for real-time decision-making and improved operational efficiency. For instance, the use of digital twins led to substantial enhancements: a 25% increase in throughput and a 50% reduction in unplanned downtimes.

It also includes key takeaways around the identification of 5G initial list of use cases, its refinement of these cases to deliver the largest impact and their successfully implementation at the Lewisville Smart Factory.

For manufacturers, mobile IoT connectivity has several key advantages over alternatives. 

Whereas Ericsson estimates cables, which are prone to connector failures, can cost up to 

€200 (US$230) per metre to install and maintain, wireless sensors are simple to retrofit to 

existing industrial equipment, which can have a lifetime of up to 30 years. Ericsson has found 

that a Mobile IoT system can yield potential savings of approximately €200 (US$230) 

per added sensor when adding a simple sensor to the shop
